Fantastic word game

We can keep chugging along smoothly now that we know that it is World Radio Day, although we celebrate radio day everyday, which makes us even smarter than UNESCO, since we all now know that part of the new narrative is everything being smart, smarter, smartest and more smartness.
 
The new narrative is everything being smart, smarter, smartest and more smartness but can we properly refer to a little girl as "Smarty Pants" if she doesn't wear pants?

That reminds me of a joke: What's something that a dog does that a man steps into? I know what you're probably thinking...but the answer is "pants." :)
 
Pants are both singular and plural; specifically in that they are singular at the top and plural at the bottom.

LARR above reminds me of a Benny Hill gag; he was asked to write down an answer to "What are found both in men's pants and on a pool table?" (Big laugh.) He wrote the answer on his slate and held up "POCKETS." (Bigger laugh.) He looks over at what Jackie Wright had written and shouts, "RUB THAT OUT!!" (Killer laugh!)
 
The bottom of the blizzard barrel has not yet been hit as we are expecting blizzard-like conditions tomorrow with another foot or so of snow and the Governor, while not issuing a travel ban, is urging drivers to stay off the roads on Sunday.

I'm sick so I won't be joining Kenny for Kenny and WMC's 80s Rockfest at Illusions tonight. Anyone wanna take my place, get down there quicklike and help Kenny with the soundcheck.
 
Stay off the roads on Sunday so the plows can clear the roads and I can dig out to get to work tomorrow if you don't have the holiday off.

In real life, I have to work on Monday and, yes, thanks for asking, I'm feeling much better. In TFWG (as I prefer) World, I and most of PowerWorld will have the holiday off. If you are working, thank you. I'm sure Miss Silkie will update us on whether Tasty Tidbits will be open for business for the few people who are working. I hope someone was able to join Kenny last night at Illusions.
 
If you don't have the holiday off, the local merchants urge you to observe Presidents Day and help the economy by putting in a full day of work and making lots of money and then, after work, going shopping and spending all those bills that depict Hamilton, Jackson, Grant, Franklin and McKinley.

Today's Fun Factoid: One-dollar bills make up 45% of all the paper currency printed in the United States.
 
Hamilton, Jackson, Grant, Franklin, and McKinley, Attorneys at Law, are running a commercial asking to hear from you IF YOU HAVE DIED from the side effects of certain prescription drugs.

Don't laugh! Ever listened to the way those spots are written?
 
Prescription drugs are often hard to obtain but they become impossible to obtain when the pharmacist can not decipher the doctor's illegible handwriting.

I couldn't even answer the pharmacist when he asked me, "Does this word look more like 'blezd' or 'qiazd' to you?"
 
Illegible handwriting is about all I can offer in these days of emails when I rarely pick up a pen or pencil.

LARR, about when was the first email in history sent? To whom? And from whom?
 
A pen or pencil may be used by campers in our guaranteed they'll learn it, get it right and remember it forever educational programs, whereby a pen is used for penmanship and a pencil is used for arithmetic, and we are not telling the secret of our success.
 
The secret of our success can be summed up by the familiar motto, "If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed."

Mister WMC, the first e-mail was sent in 1971 from Ray Tomlinson to Ray Tomlinson. Yes, the inventor of the ARPAnet e-mail system sent the first few messages to himself as a test. He no longer remembers the content of the messages. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Tomlinson
 
South Carolina is south of North Carolina and South Dakota is south of North Dakota and that makes sense to me, but I fail to understand how the westernmost part of Virginia can be farther west than the westernmost part of West Virginia.

Today's Fun (or maybe not) Factoid: West Virginia was the first state to have a sales tax: July 1, 1921.
 
West Virginia and other parts of the mid-south and south are experiencing some pieces of the cold weather that we have been experiencing here in the northeast.

Another 3-6 inches on Saturday. Even band camp and PowerWorld are getting snow. Those people you may see on the roofs of the campus buildings tomorrow are merely clearing snow and ice so we don't experience any roof collapses. Lots of that happening here in the northeast region.
 
The northeast is not really the coldest place in the inhabited world, as evidenced by the good people of our Oymyakon, Siberia band camp who have decided to build a special ice hotel from which they will host igloo building techniques courses for the weekend, and a bonfire along the shores of the Indigirka River so that everyone can snuggle and watch the submarine races in the back seat of their snowmobiles.

Today's high is forecast to be about 15 below - a regular heat wave for that part of the world in the winter.
 
In the back seat of their snowmobiles sat several styrofoam coolers filled with diet sodas but, as it turned out, the kids didn't get thirsty, which is just as well, because the sodas quickly became frozen.

When I read the line about how everyone "can snuggle and watch the submarine races in the back seat of their snowmobiles," I immediately pictured Groucho Marx saying, "How the submarine races got in the back seat of their snowmobiles, I'll never know." (If anyone fails to understand the reference, please watch the first few minutes of Animal Crackers.)
 
Frozen anything is probably good in Australia or anywhere on the Equator right about now, but that's about it; and you are very funny in pointing out my misplaced modifier.
 
In pointing out my misplaced modifier in front of the entire class and the lovely young library interns, I think you should apologize to Miss Silkie or risk being barred from free tidbits for the next 6 months.
 
For the next 6 months, we will continue experiencing cold temps and snow before it slowly starts getting warmer.

The PowerWorld LLC Naked Fun Run is still scheduled for mid July. Save the date.

We'll see all of you (pun intended), hopefully, at Illusions tonight for Kenny and WMC's 80s Rockfest.
 
It slowly starts getting warmer as we add layer upon layer of clothing and then wonder why we seem to have gotten so big as we go along.
