The Dicer is Coming!
This August 7th is a very significant anniversary for me in regards to this site. In honor of the occasion, on that date I shall post in this thread the first-ever dicer on this site. What is a dicer, you ask? You shall see.
PS: It has nothing to do with infomercial cutlery.

Durnit, that was gonna be my guess!
 And now I want to see what a chopped-up mix of fivers could look like.

Is it like a Dyson Die? You roll it, and it covers up a star, kinda-thing?

Okay, here's a hint: The word dicer, like so many of my fiver-related terms, gets the "er" from the fact that it's...well...fiver-related.
The "di" comes from one word, and the "c" from another.

Oh, well then.
This ought to be good.  Never really thought about it, but there must be some pretty bizarre versions of 5MV in other dimensions . . . .

I was kinda hoping that there'd be less interest about my newest fiver vocab word of the day, and a little more wonderment about what it means, and what the significance of August 7th could be.

I could probably guess some of it, but I figure you'll tell us when the time comes.

I really don't have a clue. I'm guessing it has nothing to do with dichromium bonds though
EDIT: Or carbon-carbon bonds, for that matter.

Heh. This is like a Poirot story, folks: you have all the information you need to figure out what he's talking about, if you know where to look.

Please don't spoil the surprise, Z. I expect that you're the only one privy to that information. And it was and continues to be a significant event in my life online.
Oh, and don't worry. It will be here on the 7th. I already know what I'm going to do, not like the Towel Day/Day of the Jedi crossfivers.

Oh. Well, it probably isn't the anniversary of the publishing of your first fiver then.

Actually, now that I look into the matter, no, it's not. My first published fiver was for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You won't be seeing any dicers for that, whatever they are.

The first draft is now complete, and as a bonus you're getting TWO dicers for the price (namely nothing) of one!

Seriously, you guys must know of a place where I can find out how to type out characters that turn into those fancy smilies. I'd really like to know!

Oh well. You'll all see what it is soon enough. I'd just post it now, but five years is that important of an anniversary.

Has it really been five years? Gosh. I can't remember what I'm up to now, but I think it's at least that, maybe even six.
