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.
