Fantastic word game

World News Tonight would probably want to do a full feature story on TFWG as we approach our 1,000 page milestone so I think we should decide now amongst ourselves who will make the best spokesperson for our group.

I know WMC is deserving but I'm afraid he's a little too confrontational and we don't want any negative publicity. Silkie could be good but her tendency to ramble might not work so well. Anyaycat and Andrea would look great on TV too just like Silkie but because of their inconsistent appearance, I'd be afraid of them missing the interview. Quad, raputs, and me are probably way too busy. And Stuart...well, I'm just not sure of Stuart since it's too soon following his intervention. What say the rest of you?
 
The best spokesperson for our group wants it clear that just because summer session is over does not mean that band camp's partying little Delta Beach is not without more than adequate resources to maintain law in order, just in case anyone gets any other message.
 
Any other message that includes a subject, whether implied or explicitly stated, but nonetheless clearly understood, along with a verb, should be acceptable, even under the strictest linguistic rules.
 
Rules should be followed on TFWG so WMC doesn't blow anymore gaskets, and continue our quest to page 1000.
 
Our quest to page 1000 and all the incisive, cogent, mind-expanding information and imagination we encounter along the way must continue undaunted by the constrictions of picayune rules and strict formatting, as if the facts that we are the TFWG and we must roll on can even be contained by such strictures.
 
Strictures aside, we must keep rolling along and we can do that if we can all just follow the simple rule of posting one complete sentence.


Given that Raptus is our Linguistics Czar, I feel he is the best man for the job of spokesperson for the inevitable story on ABC's World News. (It hasn't been World News Tonight for quite awhile). And, by the time we reach Page 1000, Charlie will have retired and Diane will be onboard so all the better for Raptus.

And I am not confrontational, dammit!

And, Raptus, I would not have had much of a problem with Quad's implied sentence only because, not long ago, you used "Heads up" which is also implied. And I know that that exact contribution has been given in the past (probably by you) and probably several times (probably by you). So it was ok by me and it was funny too.
 
One complete sentence is probably all I could manage all together over the course of an evening with Olivia Newton-John, because my mind would be on other things besides speaking.
 
Speaking for myself, I know that The Lovely Olivia (not to be confused by the absentee The Lovely Anyacat) enjoys some fruitful social intercourse and who better to provide that than yours truly.
 
Holding my hand, we walk slowly to ONJ's bedroom and just as we lay down upon her bed and begin to kiss, the ringing of an alarm clock rips me out of the dream and thrusts me back into reality where once again I find myself all alone.
 
All alones with my thoughts, I pondered the missing s on my last post.

Dang. So I added it in here, trying to sneak it in unnoticed, except for me mentioning it. Mea culpa. Thanks friends for not ripping me a new one.
 
On my last post I sounded like a sad and pathetic lonely little man but I just want to make sure you all know that the words were not my own because I was actually reading from a diary found at band camp that belongs to another TFWG regular who shall remain nameless.
 
Your discretion only goes so far when you've got reporters from the tabloids offering you bundles of cash in an attempt to get you to reveal the name of the mystery diary writer.
 
The name of the mystery diary writer likely appeared on a popular game show, is very combative, a know it all, and disappeared a long time ago.


That's what I'm hoiping anyway. Because my diaires are locked up, buried, and can only be found by using secure satellites and St. Bernards.
 
A long time ago that diary was unearthed and revealed verbatim what the writer recorded during the course of an average night, and years later an average day.
 
Cigarette smoke is a terrible addition to a meal, especially if you're on a date with Olivia Newton-John, and is a cause for woman-honoring defensive stances, and, if need be, fisticuffs.
 
Fisticuffs is another word for pugilism and one if I may be so bold as to point out, the no man worthy of Olivia Newton-John's affections would ever use in public.
 
In public and privately, Olivia and John are regular people, of whom some are extraordinarily envious to the point of obsession.
