As promised, I've picked the word to write about tomorrow.
The 'rules' are very simple: write a post this thursday (tomorrow) which involves in some way the chosen word. It could be whatever you thought of to write when free associating on the word, it could be a story with some relation to it, whatever you like.
A lot of people mentioned they'd try and participate when I brought up this idea, so if all goes well I'll link them in a post on friday, but regular readers can probably figure out how to find the other blogs as well. :)
And now, since I would guess people are still waiting to see what word was picked, here we go: myrmidon
I tried several different ways of picking a word, and usually ended up with stuff like 'and' and 'the', etc. So taking a slightly more non-random approach, I took a look at dictionary.com's word of the day list, and finding those fairly random and interesting, picked one from the last seven days that I thought might be interesting. Follow the link given above for the word of the day archive for the word, I think there's also a link to the full entry.

All of a sudden, I understand some mob names a bit better...
I already have one idea, but I'll need to think about a good way to implement it. If I can't think of a good implementation, then I might go in another direction.
This word is hard. Maybe we should have stuck with "and". I once heard a good homily built around that word :)
Yep, I realized a bit later that this might be a hard word, but hopefully still manageable. :) I'm still coming up with something to write for it myself, have been thinking of short stories but none really work.
I'm afraid when I finally come up with something to say about this word, it is going to be dreadfully boring.
