@da-Doctah Looking at the list of all words ending with -ay, it doesn't seem there's anything more than those three (okay, four). Maybe aisleway but in speech only.
I managed to put a charge on the iPod Touch, and here's the full list:
bem
bo
devery
ko
lal
lin
lout
lover
lun
lunder
plinter
plout
plover
plunder
punder
raff

sas
ses

stover
stra
sun
trash
wa
wair
walley
wany
warch

OK is pig latin for KO.
Or maybe A-OK is.

sas
sessus
Yeah, I thought ses was pretty sus, too.
-
I also compiled a list of word-pairs that are ROT-13 inverses of one another. Interesting entries in that list were abjurer/nowhere (the longest pair), irk/vex (synonyms) and gnat/tang (palindromes).
I was also inspired to imagine a Brenda Starr-type comic strip called "Cheryl Purely, Pyrex Clerk".

@da-Doctah said in Random thought of the day:
The best things on Pornhub and similar sites are tagged with the keywords *funny", "outtakes" and "bloopers".
Weird. I'll stick with "[Evidence]", thanks very much.

Would Cheryl only be allowed to utter rot13-inverses?
-
8 years is much longer than 8000 hours, but "I've been playing this game for 8000 hours" sounds way more impressive than "...8 years".
-
@Gąska "8000 hours" suggests "total time played", while "8 years" suggests "unknown time played starting 8 years ago and still continuing today".

Was picking up a delivery order at a Thai restaurant today, and as part of the decor was a cluster of the names of various Thai dishes, in both English and Thai, in a wide variety of sizes and orientations. I thought to myself, "where have I see something like this before?"
Then it clicked. Whatever happened to tag clouds? Ten years ago they were everywhere, like Furby and other fads.

Which brings me to my thought:
Has anybody - excluding people who tested the feature or show-cased it - ever clicked on a tag cloud. Ever?

Why would you exclude them?

@kazitor for some reason it reminded me of an article I read once about prostitutes getting hymen reconstruction surgery over and over again.

That doesn't seem economically feasible.
Few prostitutes have health insurance so they would be paying cash. Then they will be unable to work while it heals.
They would have be in the of highest earners in their field.
-
@Karla they sold their "virginity" for really big bucks. Also, it was in Europe, so surgeries are a bit more affordable. Anyway, I read it a very long time ago so barely remember anything, and it's not out of question it was all made up by the writer (even though I read it in a physical newspaper with decent reputation).

I guess if the big bucks was significantly more than enough to cover surgery and opportunity costs of not being able to work. Then it could work.

I never quite figured out what the point of those was (except in this case, where it's essentially decorative). What are they other than word soup?
-
I think it's pretty much decorative. I know a restaurant which does the same, mixed mirrored dish names as well. In some places it's written in glass, so you can technically read it the right way if you're looking from the other side, but a large part of them is also painted on opaque walls.
I don't think they even serve most of the dishes named.
