The NBOTW this time is actually an off-shoot of the site owner’s main blog. I fell in love right away over there. I mean, how can you not love a self proclaimed “idiot”? Oh wait, the quote is about a wife proclaiming idiocy. No matter. He still just cracks me up with his fresh and lively content.
On this site, he is a word vandal. Not too many of those critters around, me thinks. And with good reason. When you go aand visit there, you’ll find that Derek waxes poetic about a great variety of topics. It seems that his primary occupation is to get folks to think – a herculean task these days to be sure.
Here are his postings in January. Prolific somehow seems inadequate.
- Free Is Still Alive
- Left Or Right?
- I’ll Buy An iPad
- Inglish
- Gathering Dust
- Socially Speaking
- Ahhh Rochat!
- No News Day
- Food Grows In Plastic
- Pathetic And So Soon Forgotten
- To Kindle Or Not
- Fantastic Fondue
- My Old Friend Louis
- And The Winners Are! Da! Da!
- An Apple Tablet
- Nothin’ But Blue Grammar
- The Big English Present
- Raw Sausages
- That Mystery – Cricket?
- When Is News, News?
- Twitter Confessions
- I Got It Out
- Those Nasty Red Lines
- Writer’s Nightmare
- Fly. Be Free!
- The Power Of The Pen
- The Coolest Verb
- Johnny
- Rough Uncouth Australian Bastard
- Don’t Feed With The Fish
- The Ultimate Idiots of All Time
So, I think that Derek Haines has a site that is certainly worthy of the NBOTW. I encourage all of you to skedaddle on over The Word Vandal and have a look-see. When you’re done there, go over to his main site and get muy entertained.
Cheers, Derek. Thanks for puttin’ it all out there.





Congrats! If you can make this many posts in one month, you either have an over active brain or too much time on your hands. Haha! (just kidding!) Awesome.

reyjr´s last blog ..You can make money on the internet too – seriously!
Wow, muy impressive!
If my counting is right, that’s one post every day for the month of January, and we’re not talking fluff content either.
I tried posting everyday for a month – darn near killed me, cost me a relationship, led to a path of binge drinking, and hulucinations…so anybody who can pull that off and still complete coherent sentences is definitely worthy of the NBOTW! =)
Welcome to the club Derek, keep up the good work!
