Kudos to Morph King....(TWO reasons)...

jeff favelle Jun 14, 2004 07:52 PM

1) Congrats on the new morph. I already congratulated you guys, but hey, I'll do it again!

2) Doubly congrats for making up a name where, by its very construction, has generated more free advertising and word-of-mouth than you possibly could have done yourselves!! I mean, some people hated it so much, they felt the need to talk about it again and again and again! I like the name, and here I am talking about it as well! So all the people that mayeb thought they were chastizing you guys and the name, in all reality, they were HELPING and giving you guys FREE props! How cool is that.

Brilliant!

Congrats you guys. Hard work pays off.

People keep stating that Pastave isn't a word but it IS now. A Pastave never existed before and neither did the WORD. But it does now!!!!
Great job MK

So if the next 1 year old says "Hechfklov" would we all say its a word? Come on, that seems like the "remember me next time i want to buy a Ball from you and ask for a deal" statement. Just because its said does not make it a word, where do people come up with these things??? But hay, i could be wrong, maybe i should go to pre-school and start writting down all the new words i hear... John

pick up a dictionary from 1990 and look for the word 'AIN'T'...nadda. people kept using that slang word even though it wasn't in the dictionary. now go pick up a current edition of a dictionary and there it is. so overall Pastave may not be a word in the book but someday it just might be.
that's my .02 cents...

JohnZ Jun 15, 2004 01:03 AM

It might be, but it might not be. I think if we worry what might be, we won't have time for what is, and right now it is NOT... John

Well said, Jeff, I couldn't agree more. "Pastave"- it's a funny sounding word, and at first it made my wife and I laugh-- It's just SO WES!! That said, you're right- regardless of whether you love, hate or are indifferent to the new name, you will forever associate it with Morph King due to the contraversy! I find it absolutely hilarious that by bashing it you do nothing more than solidify it as a genuine morph type... PASTAVE! It's also rather funny to see people so upset about the combination of two words. LOL! Oops! I used a fabricated abbrevation for "laugh out loud"- The spelling and grammar nazis are going to scold me for sure! LOL!
