Fantastic word game

#14,000 is something to celebrate and I am celebrating by doing a happy dance at the sight of The Lovely Anyacat hopefully permanently returning to these boards.


I'm in the office catching up on paperwork as dmargalotti wishes. Looks like a holiday-ish skeleton-type crew in the building today. I'll be here for a couple hours before I head down to the library to throw Miss Silkie into the lagoon.
 
Enthralling is an understatement, quad, and if she does come back permenently then we need to throw a huge-a$$ party.
 
"We need to throw a huge-a$$ party" was sarcastically suggested by one of my co-workers a couple months ago when I returned from Alaska.

[size=8pt]Well, sarcasm aside, they did come through. I found a glazed doughnut on my desk with a candle in it, and "WELCOME BACK" written in red & blue Sharpie across the bottom edge of the paper plate. So it wasn't a total waste of a suggestion, I guess. ;o)

And hey, welcome back Anyacat. Where'ya been?
 
I returned from Alaska to find that for the first time in history a record number of people were having respiratory difficulties as a result of the south southwesterly winds from the Gulf, while everyone waited for BP to get theirs first.
 
To get theirs first, the displaced workers in the front of the unemployment queue had camped out in front of the building since midnight, else if they had shown up later they would have ended up at the back of the queue.
 
A kind of spontaneous tacit black market situation is the sort of thing that got Al Capone in a bit of hot water and not really something we here at band camp look kindly upon, as we study the library archives to the wisdom that "character means doing the right thing when nobody is looking".
 
"Character means doing the right thing when nobody is looking" is a phrase that hangs on a banner high above the library atrium and it's meant to inspire the band camp youth to always be good little campers.
 
Good little campers get invited back to band camp the following year while bad little campers get their behinds whooped and their reputations tarnished.
 
Good little campers might have some character lapses when nobody's looking from time to time, but overall, they aren't going to stick their fingers in the eye of dignity, honor and integrity and act as they never did anything wrong in the first place.

Dang I'm shut out twice in a volley.
Here's shot #3:

Bad little campers get their behinds whooped and their reputations tarnished, and typically they are drummed all the way out of band camp, no matter what instrument they play.
 
What instrument they play sometimes has little to do with anything other than what we have available in the music room.
 
The Mantovani type music is often referred to as easy listening music and as a kid it was my dad's musical preference anytime we took a long car ride somewhere which means for example that instead of listening to the Beatles, I got to listen to 101 Strings performing the music of the Beatles and let me tell you kids, it's definitely not the same.
 
It's definitely not the same when you consider that Yorkshire Pudding, served with roast beef, is made with flour, lard, milk and eggs, while rice pudding is made with rice,cream, egg, cinnamon and vanilla which is served as dessert and somehow simply seems much more refreshing.
 
Much more refreshing with today's less humidity, many band campers were seen taking leisurely strolls around the campgrounds and even into town.

Excuse me, but where do the words, "with today's less humidity" appear in the post just before yours, Mr. PowerWorld Executive Director?
 
Around the campgrounds and even into town people know that when you are going to flag a fellow TFWG'er for a procedural error, you need to make sure to include your own post as well even though you were certainly right to wave the finger of shame in his direction.

A resolution was passed some time ago by the full Executive Board that barred conversations and comments that did not accompany a post because it would then create inaccurate post and reply numbers thus tarnishing our reputations and endangering our chances of becoming the worlds longest continuous internet thread. If you need additional clarification, please see your department head or consult your PowerWorld employee training guide and manual.
 
His direction and instruction, it became clear and convincing, was to cover up for WMC for breaking the rules that he made up as he went along.

Kind of like capping your bet, which nets you some broken digits and a visit to the band camp time out chair, to say the very least.
