Are you a dwellar or are you a cellarite?
 
Are you a dwellar or are you a cellarite?

What line in the sand is drawn?

"Quien"

I dwell there for I am !

footfootfoot 08-18-2006 09:30 PM

I wonder if I should have made an option for "the dude abides"?

DanaC 08-18-2006 09:33 PM

umm....no, I think perhaps you were right to leave that one out:P

I am definately a Cellarite. Although Cellar Dweller appeals to my Lovecraftian bent.

This thread reminds me of when the two children's comics, 'Whizzer' and 'Chips' merged to become 'Whizzer and Chips'. There was a debate amongst the readers as to whether they considered themselves tobe 'Whizzkids' or 'Chipites' :P

I went out and got some tools and checked myself out. It seems I am a Dwellar. At least, that's what the dwell tach said. I didn't have a Cellarite tach.

We can remove that ugly cellarite in just 9 painless sessions.

I would say that if you were on The Cellar when it ran under Waffle and was fed though Usenet, you're definately a Dwellar.

How many degrees over TDC?

Griff 08-19-2006 08:16 AM

Dweller even though I'm a noobie... compared to Mags anyway.

Spexxvet 08-19-2006 08:59 AM

One of the breakpoints, definitely, although there are folks who only found their way here via the internet that are clearly Dwellars.

I don't know the difference, how do you quantify the two?

Yahoo! Slurp Spider 08-19-2006 12:42 PM

I'm a spider. But I would let you feed me waffles with butter and maple syrup. Slurp.

Trilby 08-19-2006 12:45 PM

^^what if we fed you Harry and Ron instead?

Yahoo! Slurp Spider 08-19-2006 12:53 PM

Would they have butter and maple syrup as well, or just 'sur le table'?

How 'bout 'avec la sueur'? (They were rather nervous)

xoxoxoBruce 08-19-2006 04:02 PM

Dweller? :headshake

Cellarite? :headshake

Fixture? :blush:

capnhowdy 08-19-2006 06:54 PM

I couldn't choose two. I reckon it depends on the day.

For all you cellarites from Desmond Decker

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Cellarite. Aah.

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
So that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Cellarite. Aah.

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen.
Poor me, the Cellarite. Aah.

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor me, the Cellarite. Aah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
Poor me, the Cellarite. Aah.

Poor me, the Cellarite.
I wonder who I'm working for.
Poor me, Cellarite,
I look a-down and out, sir.

I am curious why most people picked Dwellar? Cellarite sounds more evolved and sophisticated if even celery like.

A dwellar conjours up images of troglodites or something. No offense.

I just looked up the definition. Maybe original cellerites are dwellars hense troglodities.


http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...4994&dict=CALD
troglodyte \
noun [C] SPECIALIZED
a person who lives in a cave:
Most people associate troglodytes with prehistoric times, but troglodyte communities still exist in Tunisia and China.

Undertoad 08-27-2006 01:19 PM

Because dwellar is not a word. We make it what it is.

Proof: this thread, started 9 days ago, is currently third in g**gle for "dwellar".

Sidebar: Many new Internet companies are made-up words, such as flickr and digg and technorati and xanga. Others are combinations of two words, such as myspace, youtube, facebook, stumbleupon. The reason for this is so that they can easily get the top spots in search engines. Just as we have just done.

We pwn this non-word.

skysidhe 08-27-2006 02:31 PM

I heard about this to drive traffic to a website. So how could I apply this to a personal website or a business website?
I have tried in the past but failed with generating traffic.

Undertoad 08-27-2006 02:56 PM

Picking that kind of unique name for the business may get you near the top for that term. But that only means you're more identifiable to the search engines... it doesn't make people click on you. Even if they misspell the word, getting that sort of traffic is not very useful, unless you intend to reach the critical mass of a Flickr.

BigV 08-28-2006 12:46 PM

Dwellar.
