First word of the day? Racketeer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer
As in “GoDaddy specializes in racketeering-like practices to sell their services”. Getting from point A to point B in renewing a domain name with them is a lot like trying to navigate through the event horizon of a black hole predictably. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon
i.e. It’s theoretically very implausible.
I waded through several pages of service offers to “protect” my domain, or “add value” to the hosting that I don’t have with them. (Which they also offered.) It’s a horrible neighborhood to be keeping a domain in, but I’m trying to help somebody out who doesn’t know any better. I don’t mind facing off with the domain mafia if it’s all part of my duty.
Speaking of lines over which you can’t see, and what might lie on the other side, I mashed the “Random article” link a few times.
It came up with an arcade game from 1984 called Dragon Buster. I know I never played this, have any of you?

Speaking of video games and random, am I the only one who thinks this stegosaurus tooth rendering looks more like a pokemon badge? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Stegotooth.png
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:James_breasts.jpg Picture here not necessarily related, but hilarious.
Of course, Stegosaurus is relevant because on Wednesday, I got pretty drunk, and Thursday morning I woke up feeling like I had been trampled by one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stegosaurus
My head still feels sorta funky, and I appear to have developed a heel spur. Think there’s anything Alchemy might have to offer me?

And now for the link to the page listing off all entries related to orange:

Kay that’s it!
Have fun digging around!
