Fantastic word game

TheDude is going to have to be the subject of another sentence, since Stuart ended his offering with TheDude's handle, but I proffer that after this point, we never again refer to the game's originator by his real name, only with a very subtle "Caint touch dis" followed by a Hammer dance, but I guess we'll have to trust each other on the dancing part.
 
More lazy than raptusregaliter when it comes to hyperbolizing, other participants in the Fantastic Word Game would've stopped at four or five "horribles" even though "Ally McBeal" deserves the full complement I launched in her general direction.

[And don't get me started on Vonda Shepard lest you desire 20+ horribles in a row.] :D
 
As gamey as Vonda Shepard is (not to mention horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible), I hold the producers of "Ally McBeal" equally complicit in forcing her and her second-rate piano bar musical stylings down the American public's collective throat.

[I had a girlfriend at the time who loved Ally McBeal. I was forced to watch. I still bear the scars.]
 
"Responds and reacts to stimuli" is one of the first things that doctors look for when you're coming out of a coma, which must be why "Caint touch dis!" [finishes with Hammer dance] .
 
(While I don't want to take on the role of WMC2006 here, I believe we have a false start penalty on quadraphonic. Sorry to call you out...now on with our regularly scheduled time waster.)


The other day I shot an elephant in my pajamas...how he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.
 
First I have a question.... What is wrong with using "The Dude" (handle) at the end of a sentence?

And now the post...
I'll never know why more respect is not shown to "The Dude", the founder of this game? ???

quad, please remember we use the last word(s) of the sentence, not the first. Thanks ;)

responds and reacts is what sara palin did when her account was compromised the other day....

Can yall tell which words were intended to be highlighted, other-colored, underlined, bolded, capitalized, ALL CAPSED, or in any sense made to be any different from any other words in that sentence? If you can, you are all TheDude clones or something. I couldn't. I saw a man faltering, and I tried to pick him up by "just moving on."

I got all the respect in the world for TheDude and his contributions to the general zeitgeist of the internets by establishing this Fantastic Word Game [yay TheDude, backpats, huzzahs, and etc 8) 8) 8) ] , but come on yall, we got to have a cutoff and a raised bar with the expectations! Otherwise, it's chaos. Entropy, anarchy, and malaise are not foreign place names [they might be strippers somewhere though], they are concepts of failure, they are all here, and they are breathing down our backs like them giant lizards in "Jurassic Park" did!

"What is wrong with using "TheDude" at the end of a sentence?"
It wasn't a false start, it was a hand up.
See, I tried to make it easy, show a little class, let the once-great hero keep throwing punches without mocking him. Just remember, it wasn't me that pointed it out. I didn't want to publicize TheDude's recent ennui and slackness [again] by ending a sentence about his ennui and slackness, as well as his failure to leave us a phrase to work on, by ending a sentence with his name. So I offered what to me seemed like a fitting distraction: a segue into "Caint touch dis!" and a stutter step into a Hammer dance, with a mind to rhyme and two hype feet. How could that not be distracting? Who can remember anything but the good times when there's a man in Hammer pants popping and locking all over the place?

It's like late in Van Gogh's career, he went crazy and all that, you see it a lot when people just tire of doing something and are going through the motions, punching the clock and waiting for that big bird to hit them between the eyes and take them out, or whatever other metaphor for a public and storied demise you want to come up with. You, well at least I, don't want to say "Oh look at Babe Ruth striking out like a girl!" or "Man alive, what has happened to Muhammad Ali's punches? Float like a tub of goo, sting like a whiff of air" or "Dang didja see Bill Gates in that ad for the shoe store? My, how a once-great hero has fallen" and seem like you're rubbing their face in it and pointing out the obvious. You want them to "getcha head in the game" or at least go off into the sunset remembered as a hero and not a broken victim of their own mistimed departure.

That's why I sidestepped his last post and tried to skirt the issue, but noooooo yall had to bring it all up afresh and point out TheDude's abject failures for all the world to see. Just remember who did the pointing (not me). :'( :'( :-X :-X :(

I just hope things get better. Me being the helper sort that I am. :) :)

[Additionally, I don't know what was bolded or ALL CAPSED or other-colored in Stuart's last post either, so one of yall Stuart clones who reads his mind will have to speak up before I step back into TFWG. :) ]
 
[Thank you kenrayc Stuartclone. ;D]

In the past, game shows, like most other shows, were probably better because there were so many fewer hours and channel slots to fill in the broadcast universe.
