Fantastic word game

[quadraphonic]

Years ago there was a lot of buildup for that program.

 

[WMC2006]

That program about Olivia and her band camp experiences is incredibly successful.


Good morning everyone.

Incredibly successful movies are often made into horrible sequels.

Grease 2...need I say anymore?

 

[Silkie]

Horrible sequels have been known to occur a decade later.

 

[dmargalotti]

A decade later, people in Hollywood were still talking about the failure that was Grease 2 while trying to understand how anyone in their right mind would even consider making a sequel without Olivia Newton-John.

 

[quadraphonic]

Without Olivia Newton-John, no movie or album can truly be called "successful."

 

[dmargalotti]

Successful Television ad campaigns include the long running series of commercials featuring the Ty-D-Bol man which I was thinking of today because the actor who portrayed that character has just passed away at the age of 79 and even though he had a long life, you've got to admit that his career was in the toilet.

[quadraphonic]

His career was in the toilet, but his commercials were on the television, and the difference between the two is often negligible.

 

[Silkie]

Negligible differences are noted in the game tactics employed when fickle types use the same line with everyone on their little circuits to cover their tracks, but at the end of the day, after so many twists, turns and changes we are glad that they are someone else's headache in their strange little worlds.

 

[dmargalotti]

In their strange little worlds, geeks, freaks, and nerds dream about becoming rich, famous, and powerful.

 

[Silkie]

Rich, famous and powerful people may only be so on the outside.

 

[raptusregaliter]

On the outside of the outhouse was a painted crescent moon.

 

[Silkie]

A painted crescent moon was on the door of the outhouse, while the Amish family had the phone hooked up to the rear.

 

[raptusregaliter]

The rear of the outhouse (or anything) reminds me of an Amish joke.

And here it is: What do you call an Amish man with his arm halfway up a horse's rear end? A mechanic.

 

[Silkie]

An Amish joke about a horse's arse or anything else seems to me a bit of a misnomer.

But their telephones, when any have one, really are hooked up on the rear of the outhouse. I don't want to venture a guess what happens with Internet service.

 

[quadraphonic]

A misnomer always reminds me of a malapropism.

 

[dmargalotti]

A malapropism was at the heart of every joke told by Norm Crosby.

 

[Silkie]

Norm Crosby was once the ballyhoo of Bally's Casino and Hotel.

 

[DToTheJ]

"The ballyhoo of Bally's Casino and Hotel" is actually an inaccurate statement, as the proper form is, "The ballyhoo of Bally's Hotel and Casino."

 

[Silkie]

The ballyhoo of Bally's Hotel and Casino is similar to you say tomato, I say tomahto, but in either case that was Norm Crosby in another time when he was fun.
