Fantastic word game

Animal Crackers were something I never wanted to eat until I finally learned that they were not really made from animals, and perhaps I never should have thought they were, but I always knew that wheat crackers are made from wheat and, well, I just logically assumed.....

Cue the Shirley Temple film clip! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNwFXLcrsbc
 
I just logically assumed my next contribution should always start with the previous contribution's boldface clue and should always adhere to the one sentence rule of the game.
 
Advance forward but only by the number of steps instructed, and only after asking, "Mother, may I?" in one of many once popular children's games.

If you took however many steps forward after hearing the instruction, "Take two steps forward.", without asking you had to take that many steps backward. Incredible as it may seem it was a strange little learning, memory and comprehension game of the day. Nobody ever felt sorry and took steps backward on purpose either.
 
Many once popular children's games includes "Pin the tale on the donkey", "Simon Says" and one of my favorites when I was like 5 was Musical chairs.
 
Musical Chairs is a game with which the librarian and interns are quite familiar, especially when the chair rolling around has one person seated in it wearing the name tags of so many other people, although that particular version of the game seems to have stopped when the last ne'er do well from the cornfield band camp up the road went buhbyes.
 
"When The Last Ne'er Do Well From the Cornfield Band Camp Up the Road Went Buhbyes" was what the band played by mistake instead of "When the Saints Go Marching In."
 
Tributes to classic bands are enjoyable listening as long as the performers stay true to the styles of the bands they're paying tribute to and don't butcher the songs!
 
Don't butcher the songs sounds like advice given to the type who figure that it doesn't matter how it sounds, because it's just beautiful art.

They feel good that it is online somewhere for purchase, but nobody buys, and then they scream and holler that they want more in royalties, etc.
 
At the club whose existence was made famous by the FWG (as just about everybody but WMC prefers, but he loves us anyway) simply by virtue of our existence, bottled water is served, but rules prohibit drinking and riding on the mechanical bull at the same time.

Imagine it: A real live night club in Wolcott, CT made famous by an imaginary band camp with an imaginary power structure, using fantastic words.

Rules prohibit drinking and riding on the mechanical bull at the same time but the rules do not forbid the mechanical bull to have a little drinkie-poo every now and then.

That reminds me of an old joke about two mechanical men. As one was turning the handle on the back of the other one, he lamented, "I never thought we'd wind up this way." :)
 
Every now and then, old friends shows up here at TFWG (as Miss Silkie knows I prefer and I love Miss Silkie even though she doesn't prefer it) but, sadly, they don't tend to stick around for very long.

Fortunately, scanman seems to be sticking around. Hopefully, crainbebo shows up again. I just may reach out to quadraphonic and dmargalotti about special guest appearances.
 
Very long bike rides will be taken in the future as the days get longer and the weather continues to warm up. :cool:

I've got to stick around now that I finally have a reliable device, otherwise, I'm gonna start missing all the fantastic word game fun with you all, again!
 
The weather continues to warm up and we take a moment to rejoice that our scanman has returned, while we also contemplate some of our founding board members and some others who kept us enthralled by stories and our imaginations firing with images of the gas station across the street.

I have a feeling joeybabe might have been an elderly gentleman, given the content and phraseology of his stories. Glad we could keep him company and keep him amused.
 
The gas station across the street has gotten a lot of free publicity in all the local news media because the attendants erected a huge sign announcing "WE HAVE NEW PUMPS" and all the drivers who went to that gas station had a good chuckle upon discovering that each of the attendants was wearing a pair of women's high-heel shoes.
 
High-heel shoes of various colors are kept in the storage closet at the request of our occasional special guests, Megan the The Lovely Olivia (TLO as most prefer).

Both are scheduled to come by band camp next Tuesday afternoon to read to the kiddies. Nice of them to come together. Even nicer that they continue to be involved with band camp even though dmargalotti is no longer here.
