Throw Back Thursday: Wordle O.G.

Wordle has officially taken the world by storm. Annoyingly so, but then again, I still do it every day. And share it with a few gheorghies.

But before there was Wordle, there was Wordle. A Word Picture. Where robots scan a document or website and produce a graphic image featuring the most prominent words, with those most recurrent showing largest. 

Thanks to the folks at WordArt, you still can!

So I plugged in our sister site Sentence of Dave. And it's about what you'd think. At first blush, you'd believe that Dave is very high on himself. It's just that every post has "Sentence of Dave" in it, plus he's self-referential a lot. 

Plus Dave is very high on himself. 

But here you go!

OBFT: The Wordle

The 20th Annual Outer Banks Fishing Trip is approaching, and if you've been on one of the previous nineteen trips, then you know what to expect. If you haven't been, but want an idea of what it's like (and this is ersatz at best) then check out the Wordle below. The important thing to remember is this: there is no fishing on the fishing trip. Two decades of this joke, and my parents still think it's amusing.

To create this Wordle, I plugged in my Sentence of Dave OBFT synopses, some Gheorghe posts that tangentially mention the trip, and a few of the pertinent e-mails. It is by no means the definitive Wordle on the OBFT, and I encourage you to make your own, but it turned out to be fairly accurate. 

I especially like the serendipitous sentence "Whitney needed mustaches."

Drink like a fish, fish like a drunk, and tackle box.

Wordle Filler

Everyone (rob) seemed to enjoy the Wordle ghoogles word cloud last time around, so I thought I'd plug all of G:TB into the magic machine and see what we got. We needed filler, what do you want from me?

I'd say we have a bit of a CAA fetish, wouldn't you?
