Gallant Efforts

Alas, SOWPODS is not an acceptable word.

I'd say a lot of mid 20th century home cooks were GELATINISTS, but Wordtwist doesn't agree.

What are the chances? I read your post and a few games later I had the opportunity to try GELATINISTS. It didn't work for me, either.

If for some reason the Sharks or the Jets scare you, you might be a CHOREOPHOBE... or maybe not, because it's not recognized here.

In "2001 a Space Odyssey," there were spaceflights and a monolith,

but no fecaliths.

One can imagine someone experiencing a fecalith praying to God.

(Does that count as a religious experience?)

Not that fecalith is recognized here.

Though isn't fecolith a valid scrabble word--and available on this board, as is fecoliths.

When I can't sleep, I'm an insomniac. But when I can't get moving the next day, I'm apparently not an INERTIAC.

If you can snort it, it's snortable. Sadly, the things you snort are not called "snortables".

Even if you are an atheist, you may not call Christianity's main event the CRUCIFICTION.

(I just had to try it, because it was right there.)

You can't describe how much a job pays as its SALARIOUSNESS.

You can be a PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHER, but apparently there's no such thing as a PALEOBIOGRAPHER. If you attempt to write a book about Lucy's life story, that might possibly be classified as historical fiction, but never a biography.

If it looks like a bean, but it doesn't quack like one, it's still not a QUASILEGUME.

Even if you're in the mood for a melody, no points for PIANOMAN.

[Naboka]

Maybe I should throw caution to the wind and go back to long boards.

I'm not sure where this belongs, but I had to share my FRUSTATION (sic) because the second R was on the wrong side of the T and thus not adjacent to the A. Tried it anyway. Didn't work. Expected, but still frustating.

Bending spoons with your mind may or may not be a thing... in any case it's definitely not NEUROMETALLURGY.
