Fantastic word game

The first day in February it hits 60, but the 2nd day in February is Ground Hog Day, and nobody seems to catch on that whether the furry little prophet sees his shadow or not is of no consequence, because the first day of Spring will still be March 21.

The library is finished with the exception of some moulding that we threw on a woodpile. The only moulding we did not throw on the woodpile is the moulding that was given as a gift to finish the mantel.
 
A happy dance is often a spontaneous celebration of something positive and I hope we will all be doing lots of happy dances as we journey through 2010.

Thanks to WMC for providing us with some of the TFWG highlights from 2009. It was certainly a significant year in the history of TFWG. Perhaps next year, our "year-in-review" can be made available as a Power Point Presentation.

Band Camp Tip: dark color uniforms can often reveal the unsightly presence of lint. Since few band campers remember to pack lint brushes, you can use scotch, masking, or even duct tape to deal with your lint problem. Simply wrap the tape around your hand with the sticky surface facing out...then pat the lint on your uniform. The lint will lift off with the tape and you'll look great!
 
As we journey through 2010 let us not forget those less fortunate who have not heard of TFWG and its subsidiary band camp.

(Travel Tip: I forgot to mention that I purchased the official Route 66 road map and guide to better prepare for my topless journey this summer to points southwest.)
 
History was never one of my favorite subjects in school because I didn't care what happened a couple of hundred years ago or who did what because chances are I wasn't going to meet those people anyway.
 
I wasn't going to meet these people anyway is a piss-poor excuse for not taking interest in the events and people who made the world as we know it.

(Besides I think the fact that Ben Franklin was known to hold audiences in Paris while sharing a bath with his mistress is kind of interesting.)
 
We know it already and I didn't feel the need to learn everything in-depth but, then again, I'll look forward to the day when, 100 years from now, as I'm looking down from the heavens, the kids of that present day will be learning about the most exciting, fantastic, record-breaking, influential thread in history known as The Fantastic Word Game.


What did Ben Franklin's mistress look like? ;)

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. 5 demerits to Quad.



The most exciting, fantastic, record-breaking, influential thread in history known as The Fantastic Word Game will still be going on when we hit the next decade in the year 2020 with page 20000.
Click to expand...
I swear it is not my fault. All the threads are a post or two off on my main page. I check and check and check, and still they slip through. I accept the demerits, begrudgingly.
Or maybe the fact that I was holding an audience in my bathtub threw off my concentration.

When we hit the next decade in the year 2020 with page 20000 maybe I won't make mistakes.
 
Mistakes are common here at TFWG for various reasons but we can't hold ourselves responsible for computer-oriented troubles.

Marc, for the record, while you are a very important poster here at TFWG (as is everyone), you aren't on the TFWG Executive Board and therefore aren't allowed to hand out demerits. Quad forgot to turn the page (which happens frequently to him) and, while it is demerit-worthy, it's not worth 5 demerits.

For everyone's review (including Marc's), here once again (which I just posted a few pages ago) is the TFWG Executive Hierarchy:

-Game Czar: WMC2006
-TPS Czar: quadraphonic
-Linguistics Czar: raptusregalitur
-Director of Energy, Tourism and Topless Driving: Anyacat
-International Exective Director of Band Camp: dmargalotti

Not on the Board but still very important in the operations dept:

-Head librarian/chief mixologist (reporting to dmargalotti): Silkie
-Chief flirt (reporting to all of us): andreajesus
 
DOS and BASIC probably wouldn't be able to handle TFWG and we'd probably have to invent our own operating system if we didn't have Radio-Info.
 
Roseanne Barr was one of those freak moments in TV history when a relatively humorous comedian gets her own show and all hell breaks lose.

(All hell seems to have broken lose on the thread yet again. I won't pretend to know exactly what set MarcB off, maybe he suffers from the same malady as Stuart. Maybe it's just me, but I cannot imagine a more laid back thread so I can't figure out why Marc is going off in a huff--if not a minute and a huff. Maybe he will enlighten me. I have gone back and reviewed what I missed but I still don't get it. Meanwhile, we are down a soldier although we soldier on. And for WMC: Apparently, Mr. Franklin, was already in his 70s when he served as US Ambassador to France [1776–1785] and his mistress was not much younger, and maybe even a little older. However, at the time, ladies bathed completely covered in a muslin bathing dress--which became transparent when wet; men bathed in their breeches. But the idea, much less the sight, of Franklin and his lady love was too much for the patrician Thomas Jefferson.)
