Fantastic word game

[Anyacat]

Interest in the failing economy has captured the attention of the whole world.

World War I began in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

 

[quadraphonic]

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, curiously, is not in the eponymous musical group.

 

[Basnya]

The eponymous musical group Franz Ferdinand is a frequent attraction in many European cities, but I don't particularly care for their particular type of sound.

 

[dmargalotti]

Sound effects are a vital tool in creating theater of the mind.

 

[Anyacat]

Theater of the mind is where radio excelled.

 

[raptusregaliter]

"Excelled in this curriculum area" was a phrase not often found on my elementary school report cards.

 

[Stuart]

Report Cards, that were very good used to be worth a free hamburger in Philadelphia Area McDonalds. ;D

(Look, Fair and Lovely Miss Anaycat, a big corporation has done a good thing )

 

[Anyacat]

McDonald's built an empire on selling high fat, high sodium foods to children and exploits children by using them, as more susceptible subjects of advertising, to pressure their parents into going into McDonald's.

 

[raptusregaliter]

McDonald's hamburgers can't compare to those at Burger King.

 

[Basnya]

Burger King is all right as far as national chains go- at least you can get it your way, but for my money nothing beats a burger from Carl's Junior!

 

[quadraphonic]

Carl's Jr. also owns Hardee's restaurants in our area, their hamburgers and biscuits are pretty good, but their man-centric commercials induce nausea and vomiting.

 

[raptusregaliter]

Nausea and vomiting go hand-in-hand at Clear Channel Atlanta as they peruse their ratings. ;D

 

[dmargalotti]

Ratings mean nothing unless you're able to translate them into revenue.

 

[Stuart]

Revenue for corporations is a good thing. ;D

(Note to The Fair and Lovely Miss Anyacat: You used McDonalds as a first word and a last word. If this happens again, you will be issued a demerit :-[)

 

[Anyacat]

Thing is, only WC is allowed to make arbitrary rules concerning this thread, late comers and interlopers need not apply.

 

[raptusregaliter]

Apply yourself, and you too can have an impressive stock portfolio.

(Not that I'm still paying attention to this thread or anything but using the same word as first and last isn't new to the FWG at all, Stuart. Please do not attempt to discipline the Fair and Lovely Anyacat when it's not warranted. Not that I'm paying attention or anything. Now I go bye-bye again. Buh-bye! Poof!! )

 

[Anyacat]

Poof, the Magic Dragon, lived by the sea...

Poof, the Magic Dragon, lived by the sea...

(Anyacat, my dear, pardon me for disciplining you but, as evidenced by the parentheses, I was merely communicating and not playing the game. Please revert back to Raptus's clue of "portfolio". Not that I'm paying attention or anything. ;D )
