Fantastic word game

[andreajesus]

PowerWorld speakers for this years' band camp commencement ceremonies will be announced shortly.

Shortly, Andreajesus will make her decision as to whether she should continue her alliance with Raptus Regaliter or not...

 

[Anyacat]

Not that it's any of my business, but I await the decision with baited breath.

 

[WMC2006]

Baited breath aside, if andrea decided to dump the elusive raptus, we'd not only have to find a new Linguistics Czar but also a new semi-part time Chief Flirt.

 

[Silkie]

A new semi-part time Chief Flirt seems to be something like a pseudo-quasi department of plant watering to show off around the premises.

 

[raptusregaliter]

To show off around the premises is one description of what I like to do around here whenever andrea or the interns are within earshot.

For example, I will now remove my shirt and flex my linguistic muscles by pointing out that there really is no such thing as "baited" breath unless you are referring to breath with a hook and minnow. "Bated" breath is short for "abated" breath and means “reduced, lessened, or lowered in force”. So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost stop breathing as a result of some strong emotion, such as terror or awe. Feel free to experience either of these emotions as you bask in the sinewy dynamism of your LINGUISTICS CZAR!

 

[Anyacat]

Earshot is reduced when others resort to shouting in bold no less which is designed to reduce the captive audience to shock and awe.

 

[Silkie]

Shock and awe, coupled with gratitude and elation, were my emotions when the bread rose as it should, so that we can have garlic bread with our antipasto and rigatoni dinner, followed by canolis or chocolate creme pie, depending upon your preference.

 

[Anyacat]

Depending upon your preference does not leave the door open for one of each, which is my preference.

 

[andreajesus]

Depending upon your preference does not leave the door open for one of each, which is my preference.

My preference is for any time that Raptus is around these parts, because i like how he looks and what he says...

 

[WMC2006]

He says many things to get the attention of The Fair Andreajesus but, after all this time, they might as well just get a room.

 

[dmargalotti]

They might as well just get a room but that's nearly impossible since every motel and hotel within a 50-mile radius of band camp is completely full thanks to the upcoming Olivia Newton-John Fanfest so I guess they will just be canoodling in the backseat of the car.

 

[Anyacat]

Canoodling in the backseat of the car vs a slice of luscious chocolate cream pie are the choices that confront Raptus.

 

[WMC2006]

Raptus has a big decision to make because Andrea isn't necessarily always around but luscious chocolate cream pie is always available at Miss Silkie's Delicious Delicacies.

 

[dmargalotti]

Luscious chocolate cream pie is always available at Miss Silkie's Delicious Delicacies and if you and your girl drive over and get some to go to eat in the backseat either before, after, or during canoodling, you're getting the best of both worlds.

 

[Silkie]

The best of both worlds includes losing a size and still being able to have an incredibly delicious dinner.

 

[quadraphonic]

To have an incredibly delicious dinner, you either have to plan it and execute it at home, or go out and hope for the best.

 

[Anyacat]

The best lamb I ever made came about because of an almost tragic cooking error.

 

[Silkie]

Cooking errors might turn out to be good meals from time to time, but more often than not result from too much attention devoted to playing around covering the mistake in the first place, and then there's that game show.

 

[raptusregaliter]

That game show from the '70s I really enjoyed was called "The Wizard of Odds" with host Alex Trebek.

Just found out that the theme song was written and performed by Alan Thicke. Another feather in the cap for Canada!

 

[Anyacat]

Alex Trebek is a rock star to the post-menopausal booking reading set.
