      You can always submit words at the site (http://rarewords.org), but I'll add it to my list. "Time Invader" sounds cool! Thanks for your pledge -- I appreciate it!

      I am so excited about this project and hope it will be a success. When I pledged I did not see a place to enter a word, did I miss something or do you have enough? If you are still taking words I suggest "Time Invader". I am not sure if Dave or Kathy said it or if we saw it in a movie while I was in VA, but we liked the sound of the phrase. Love, "Aunt' Carol
