Fantastic word game

Shown the door after imbibing a few too many adult beverages also leads to permanent expulsion from Illusions.

rosecity, I have no idea how to start a date with a young man. Perhaps you could inform us.
 
Permanent expulsion from Illusions would surely await me if I ever succeeded in removing the mechanical bull, but maybe I could get off with a mere one-week ban by using my future father-in-law's shotgun to riddle the faux hindquarters of said bull with buckshot.

"Illusions" rather than "the new Illusions," Czar? Grammatical, yes. Correctly spelled, yes. But isn't that a violation of TFWG style rules? I say yes, and hereby propose a two-point demerit for WMC2006, to be increased retroactively to three in the event of another violation in the next week.
 
Buckshot in your hind quarters, at this point, sounds a lot less intimidating and painful than having the DoL hand out great quantities of demerits.
 
Great quantities of demerits are piling up very quickly.

I said 'Illusions' rather than 'the new Illusions' on purpose. No, it's not a violation of style rules. But what is a violation of sorts is me forgetting to welcome everyone to the weekend and to join dmargalotti, kenny and myself tomorrow night at, yes, the new Illusions for another fantastic 80s Rockfest. And, join us later in the early morning Sunday hours when kenny cooks up some delicious grub at Denny's. Have a great weekend!!
 
Bedlam ensued after a surprise ruling from the Director of Linguistics, and suddenly nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs were being thrown across the room, striking the commas, semicolons and question marks, until someone finally ended the entire spectacle by ending it with a period.
 
A period of time had passed since the Director of Linguistics (Linguistics Czar, as I prefer) mentioned the removal of the infernal mechanical bull from the new Illusions, leading me to think he may have given up on his ambitions.
 
His ambitions to remove the Denny's-sponsored mechanical bull were derailed by the Board of Governors, Denny's, and the wrath of God.
 
The Board of Governors, Denny's, and the wrath of God itself wouldn't phase, nor deter, our diabolical genius of grammatical accuracy.

Lest we forget, he's the Cerebral Heel.
 
Grammatical accuracy demands several challenges to rose's latest, the most obvious being his confusion of "phase" and "faze," with the latter being the correct spelling.

"Its" being used as a pronoun for "God" is debatable but defensible, as is the Oxford comma after "Denny's." That second one, to be fair, originated in WMC's post 45,708.
 
Spelling is part of the DoL's arsenal, which contains some very formidable weapons, such as a dictionary and a thesaurus.

In defense of rcm, I believe that by "it" he was referring to the phrase "wrath of God," with "wrath" being the antecedant.
 
A dictionary and a thesaurus, along with my future father-in-law's trusty shotgun, are all I really need to clean up this thread and, while I'm at it, kill a varmint or two.
 
Two words that have consistently given me fits throughout my life are "phase" and "faze", but I remain certain that I am not the only one to confuse those particular homophones.

Fortunately for the readers, I was never tasked with the thankless job of editing a newspaper. Pardon the gaffe, penalty accepted.
 
Homophones will be the subject of an upcoming lecture and lesson by the one and only Mr. Allen who will be introduced by the one and only Stuart.

Stuart is already working on that introduction.
 
The one and only Stuart (and his lovely wife Miss Phyllis) would be most welcome to sit and dine at the Christmas table in the RCM Ranch, if they have the desire to drive nearly halfway across the country.

Come to think of it, there'll be enough food and drink served to send everyone home all fat and sassy. CT, the old lady went to Brookshire's just this morning for a full bottle of maple syrup.
 
Halfway across the country from Tyler, and then some, I swear I can hear the plaintive mooing of a lovelorn cow on the RCM Ranch, wondering when her favorite big-hatted Texan will be dropping by the barn, wearing nothing but that hat, for an illicit, taboo roll in the hay.
 
Her comfort zone not being what it once was, Granny decided to take a spell and only rollerskate when the "Couples Only" sign was lit.

But that also gave her more time for recuperative canoodling.[/b]
 
When the "Couples Only" sign was lit in the window of the Tyler Arms Motor Lodge, the old lady (better half, as I'm sure Miss Silkie prefers) and I simultaneously turned to look at Mrs. Director of Linguistics and assured her that it was really not that big of a deal and we'd just go swing somewhere else.

The Cajun Queen took a real shine to her, and why not? Such a lovely, and classy lady. How'd you ever get her to settle on you, DoL (LC, as I prefer)?

GC, I stand corrected, and I get it now. Cattle is more your bag. Mechanical or real, makes no difference. Just kindly leave her bell behind, when you pick up Constance (that's her name, BTW). I'll need to keep it around for TSNG mishaps.
