It's just a bit too much for some which is why I refrained from making reference to either over the last several days but upon reading The Dude's post this morning, I thought the time was right.

Fantastic word game
- Thread starter 4dude
- Start date
Also, the time was right to note that the original rules were to use the last word to form a new sentence, and to note that the song has it all wrong that Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, especially when taken out of context to predefine and attempt to shape opinions contrary to kind motives toward the valued founder of the feast.
Kind motives toward the valued founder of the feast is a word string that I could work with, but I'm way too distracted over Silkie's rules-based post which breaks the rules right off the bat by adding words to the previous bolded phrase.
It's like raaaaay-eeeeeeee-aaayyyyn on your wedding day...

Phrase a song the way Alanis Morissette does and people might think you too are a wee bit mentally unstable.
"You Oughta Know" is the kind of song that should scare the bejesus out of every guy on the dating scene.
"You Oughta Know" is the kind of song that should scare the bejesus out of every guy on the dating scene.
Mentally unstable is a perception, by some unsavory types, that very few normal people who have been judged normal would consider their strong suit, a badge of honor to be worn while quietly going about their routine lives.
Actually nobody used any part of the sentence formed by The Dude, so I figured that it must have been missed, because the amended bolding rules of the game he created were never formally adopted. Heavens!!! Raaaaay-eeeeeeee-aaayyyyn on my wedding day? It would have been just as natural a blessing as waking up in the morning - as natural and normal as the marriage itself. And no Freida Payne wedding night blues.

Around and around we go again with the posting of the rules for our dear Silkie who has apparently missed a memo or two.
My dear Silkie, you should have received these memos from the Executive Director some time ago. Either he never sent them or you never read them. The three of us may have to take a meeting together if you two don't get in synch.
Meanwhile, let me once again repeat what I've repeated so often and that is the game has evolved over time. What started oh so long ago as using the final word as the end/beginning clue became a word or proper name and that became a word, proper name or some kind of phrase. As long as you bolded your clue and used a proper sentence (and some of your sentences aren't proper, Silkie), then you were fine.
That's the rule.
Then, not all that long ago, we came up with TheDude Rule. As everyone has noticed, TheDude never gives any indication as to what his clue might be. True, we could guess that it's the final word of his contribution. However, TheDude Rule states that the poster following TheDude may use whatever part of TheDude's post he wants to to begin the next post; or, you may use the entire thing (just as dmargalotti did, Silkie, which you apparently didin't bother to notice); or, you may completely ignore TheDude's post and begin a new one with a new clue. Usually, people choose to use TheDude's entire post and build off that.
And that's pretty much it.
And, now, because whenever I repost the rules, I always re-post the TFWG Executive Hierarchy, here's that too:
Game Czar: WMC2006
TPS Czar: quadraphonic
International Band Camp Executive Director: dmargalotti
Director of Energy and Travel: Anyacat (hope she's back soon)
Linguistics Czar: raptusregaliter
Not part of Executive Hierarchy but very important nonetheless:
Mixologist and Head Librarian: Silkie
Chief Flirt: andreajesus

A memo or two a day helps keep the Game Czar away.
I have all of your interests at heart is what most politicians will say out loud while what they really mean is I want all of your money in my pocket.

Now is the time that you are reading this, but then was the time that I posted it.

It is always good for me to read Raptus' posts because they are very funny...
Funny, but I just noticed that Quad seems to be mysteriously absent which makes me wonder if he and anyacat might have gotten together for a romantic interlude.
Seriously, Quad's last post was the morning of 8/17...more than 4 days ago. It's not like the Quadster to remain away from TFWG for so long. Even my ONJ reference yesterday didn't draw him out. While ultimately it's WMC's call, I think planned absences of more than 3-days should require prior written approval. For unplanned absences of 3-days or more, you had better have a doctors note or a really good excuse. And I mean REALLY good.

A romantic interlude with the lovely Mrs. Quad is more likely but I am a bit concerned that he didn't mention his absence which leads me to think that, perhaps, real life intervened so let's just think good thoughts and let's hope that both Quad and Anyacat return very soon.
The front office staff has forwarded to me all the TPS Reports that were piling up in quad's IN box. Everyone else, please just forward your TPS Reports and other paperwork to me directly and I'll take care of it for now. DM and Silkie, if Quad hasn't returned by Monday, you will each be receiving a stack of paperwork so make sure you are caught up on everything else.
