<STRONG>Blurb? is this another funny european insult word?
I don't think I can use that in america, since we use it for something else plus it kinda sounds like blob, and one might call a chubby person a blob, but I think if one wanted to piss of a chubby person there is a very thick book's worth of better words
or is blurb the name of the game? in which case I hope it's a puzzle game because that's a right stupid name for just about any other kind of game
like maybe "a boy and his blurb"?
hmmmm
okay, so to clear it up, the guy that was building the driver for the game was also the guy that dumped the image?
it would've been cooler for him to just make a fatty stand alone emulator that could then be absorbed by MAME...</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
No insult implied, just a brief conjecture.
Your dictionary's (Webster) definition:
Main Entry: 1blurb
Pronunciation: 'bl&rb
Function: noun
Etymology: coined by Gelett Burgess
Date: 1914
: a short publicity notice (as on a book jacket)
I actually meant excessive wordage, though not finding fault in aforementioned paragraph, just a humorous tangent that went wrong somewhere [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img].
