Fantastic word game

Stuartness is the measure of how authentic and genuine the man claiming to be Stuart Greenberg really is but the problem is none of us are in a position to evaluate Stuarts Stuartness.
 
Stuart's Stuartness, especially in this "Baby Book," but also throughout his recent infatuation situation, is undoubtedly an apocalyptic experience that most of us cannot hope to emulate, much less duplicate.
 
Stuart Greenberg said:
If she remembers what she wrote in my "Baby Book", my mother could prove my Stuartness.

Although the Baby Book could just be presented, if it was not thrown out by accident! Who the hell throws away their son's Baby Book? What if there was not a book? Maybe you guys are right, I might not be me!


I'm thinking Stuart has other issues as well. Perhaps Mrs. Stuart can bring along Mama Stuart to the intervention.

By the way, is it my imagination or does The Lovely Miss Anyacat keep disappearing for days at a time???


Duplicate one's Stuartness and I think that would be counterproductive and wouldn't really solve any problems at all.
 
Any problems at all you may encounter at TFWG are not caused by those of us who labor mightily every day to make sense of some of the stream-of-consciousness postings which are deposited here with reckless abandon at an accelerated and alarming rate.

Stuart: Are you sure the book was thrown out by accident? Perhaps Stuart's Stuartness is not the question. It could be that the motherness of Stuart's mother is the question. Did you ever stumble across any large seedpods in your basement while growing up?
 
At an accelerated and alarming rate we are hurtling toward our target goal of 1,000 pages thanks to timely and frequent contributions from many of the regulars but I've got to tell you, we would get there even quicker if some people would just get off their butts and make TFWG a priority in their lives.
 
Make the TFWG contains one of those nagging redundancies that might cause WMC to blow his stack (the The Fantastic Word Game), but that's nothing compared to the stack-blowing that I struggle to control every day as I pass by the speed trap set up inside a school zone that is pulling cars over two at a time even though said school doesn't even let out for over a half-hour and there is absolutely NO danger of plowing down somebody's little darling--assuming said rugrat could even negotiate his/her way past all the barricades, traverse the 100 YARDS OF OPEN TERRAIN, and scale the 8-FOOT FENCE that separates the school and the street.

This little racket they've got going has nothing to do with public safety and is just a sleazy way for the county to generate revenue. And no, I've never been pulled over. I just think the whole thing stinks.

Edited to add: The "street" is a 4-lane divided highway with a median strip containing grass and trees. The cops set up on the side farthest from the school, which means that the kids would also have to dodge two lanes of traffic coming from the other direction before the cars on our side become a threat. The speed limit is normally 45 mph, reduced to 25 when the caution lights are blinking. If you get stopped doing 20 mph over the posted limit in a school zone you will get a TREMENDOUS fine and all kinds of points on your license. Like I said, it stinks.

End of rant.

We are quizzed about which one is real and I'm really wondering if Silkie knows what she is writing half the time and maybe we oughta quiz her after she posts her contribution to see if she remembers what she wrote.

FYI that is exactly how we were taught decades ago when the Secret Service used to teach one way to detect counterfeit money. I know exactly what I am writing.

The school and the street are sometimes one and the same, especially when you catch someone stealing your husband's bonus check and she comes off with some heart wrenching tale of undue influence, with alligator lizard tears about how it was not really his bonus check, his wife is dead anyway, some wheelchair story from way back when, and now it is all okay for her to resume her illicit affair with her beau, who sent for her with his own sad story, except that he was never her beau and did not send for her, because he and his very much alive wife had gone for dinner and dancing.


Hey, folks, just holding the fort down while we all wait for that last taping of Guiding Light. Besides, is this not about the time the soap operas start airing after the lunchtime news?
 
Dinner and dancing with a room full of mobsters, terrorists, and dictators would be MORE FUN than trying to understand what the heck Silkie is talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offense Silkie...I luv ya, but my head is spinning.
 
What the heck Silkie is talking about is always important, but it might not always sound cogent if you are only spoiling for a ruckus, or unless you're one of those who are in the know.

I thought they already taped the last "Guiding Light?"
 
In the know is not necessarily a good thing when you are doing your best to pre-empt Labor Day Weekend special programming by signifying which artists' songs in other people's specials will become what at the very end of each and every hour, but in the know is a good thing when TFWG members are getting to Page 1000.

Okay, so I will not attempt to fill the void of neurotics and their death watches, wishes and vigils in the soap opera world. Yes, I believe Quad is correct that the last episode was already taped; but hey, let's just call it a pre-emption at the very last minute while we hold the fort down until then.
 
TFWG members are getting to Page 1000, and since it's been such an incredible ride thus far, one can't help but be excited about the future prospects for the TFWG ride.

I only heard about "The Guiding Light" last taping on this board. I didn't want to think that R-I would mislead me. My grandmas might have cared ten years ago, but not anymore, since they're both gone now.
 
The TFWG ride gets wild and wooly at times but never fear, we are here working round the clock, and we don't care what they say, we're gonna keep right on it together as we have from the start.
 
From the start, it was slow going way back around Page 1 but once the current hierarchy took over, great things started to happen.

Some year, when I have some time, I may hark back into the TFWG Archives to figure out just when we (meaning I) took over this joint. All I know is the anniversary date of the start which is I think December 3rd which will be 3 years this year.

And, ya know, given all Silkie has to say, if she could tone it down and divide up her long posts into smaller ones, we might reach Page 1000 even quicker.

I don't see any postings from Stuart today. Did we get him to THAT location?? How's the intervention going?? Who's got the night watch?? I heard that Margaret, the PowerWorld Luncheonette waitress he stiffed for a tip, was offering her services to keep a special eye on him. I'm thinking Stuart's "incarceration" may last through the weekend. I'll be taking the Saturday shift to give him my own special brand if intervention-ing.

Anyone seen Anyacat?
 
Great things started to happen for the TFWG team after they "gelled as a team" and they "played their A-game all games" and they started "picking each other up" and "a different player stepped up each game," but you'll never hear any TFWG ballers use those crutch-ridden cliches in postgame interviews.
 
I was just about to post this when El-quadster beat me to the punch:

Great things started to happen when you dim the lights and put a little ONJ music on the old turntable.

So instead please accept this as my contribution to TFWG:

In postgame interviews, you never hear players or coaches giving the marching band the credit they deserve for helping to keep the crowd fired up and the players energized and as a long time band camp director, I think that's a real shame.
 
That's a real shame that I beat you out on that last post, dmarg, especially since I neglected to mention the beauty and talent that is Olivia Newton-John.

What was I thinking? I assure you, I was thinking about ONJ, because that's such a worthwhile pursuit. I just didn't put her in the sentence.
 
Olivia Newton-John is probably sobbing over being neglected by you guys and, rest assured, I'll be there to comfort her during my downtime from Stuart's Labor Day Intervention.
 
Stuart's Labor Day Intervention was going to include a special deprogramming session wherein the supremacy of April Bowlby over ONJ was clearly elucidated, but it turns out that Stuart has not yet drunk the ONJ Kool-Aid so our time will be better spent by indoctrinating him on matters more pertinent.

His midnight-to-six shift passed without incident, but I'm a bit concerned about his frequent trips to the bathroom. I put a note in his chart for a follow-up appointment with TFWG Medical.
 
Matters more pertinent are few and far between when it comes to the lovely Olivia Newton-John and as the record clearly shows, I was in no way being neglectful because I was the one who so thoughtfully remembered to include her in this conversation so while WMC is supervising Stuart's Labor Day Intervention, you will find me and ONJ canoodling by a camp fire under the soft glow of the moon as it shines high over our beloved band camp.
