Fantastic word game

Blackout rules apply only during severe storm warnings which is something dmargalotti knows all too well.

dmargalotti, please meet karsonwithak. karson, please meet dmargalotti. I won't give away the specifics on what each of you do but you are both radio guys. dm, karson hosts a radio morning show somewhere in my listening area somewhere in my state. karson, dmargalotti is involved in morning radio, not in my listening area, in a state that is often the butt of jokes. dm, you've basically just reprimanded a colleague. Please govern yourselves accordingly. :D

Having said that, dmargalotti is correct, karson. Here are our rules which tend to get "MIX"ed (see what I did there?) up when new people arrive:

-Please use one sentence and one sentence only for your contribution. In memory of our late friend Anyacat, we will also accept contributions in the form of a haiku.
-Please begin your contribution with the full bolded ending clue from the previous contribution. Please bold that and also bold your new ending clue.
-All dialogue outside of the contribution should be italicized.
-Clues may be a word, name, phrase, pretty much almost anything. Executive Board Members have the discretion to use TheDude Rule which allows us to form an entirely new clue should a member completely avoid or ignore the stated rules.
-Any and all questions may be directed to the following PowerWorld Executive Board Members:

WMC2006: Game Czar (that would be me ;D )
dmargalotti: International Director of Band Camp; Director of Early Morning Contributions
quadraphonic: Director of TPS Reports And Other Paperwork (DOTRAOP as most prefer)
Silkie/Miss Silkie: Head Mixologist; Chief Librarian; Director of Fun; Manager/Owner of Miss Silkie's Tasty Tidbits
Darth_Vader: Director of Information Technology

The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as most prefer and the FWG as some prefer although I don't know why) is a wholly owned subsidiary of PowerWorld LLC. Radio Discussions (and previously Radio-Info) own TFWG, PowerWorld, and all trademarks including band camp, topless driving, Megan, Olivia, Illusions, the mechanical bull, bottled water, Dave & Kenny's 80s Rockfest, early morning contributions, TPS Reports, Tasty Tidbits, the northwest quadrant, and a few other things I can't think of right now. As always, take us with a grain of salt and, above all, have fun. ;D
 
All too well many of us know the wrath that comes from making mistakes (or more accurately from WMC noticing them), which sometimes are our own fault, but sometimes are caused by our browsers not being perfectly optimized for our eyesight and posting conditions, or the radiodiscussions system updating or not being perfect or whatnot, but some of us know that even when mistakes are made, in the interest of future posterity and contemporaneous harmony, we can sometimes let the non-egregious, unintentional mistakes slide.
 
Let the non-egregious, unintentional mistakes slide if the contribution still manages to make sense and to move us along in an appropriate manner.
 
An appropriate manner of address for today is journeyman carpenters for Sweetie Pie and Silkie, considering that we perfectly mitred and installed a new window frame in the library, work left undone by certain contractors who otherwise did an enormously fabulous job.

I do notice that while karsonwithak followed the rules perfectly, our newest player was given the full menu, except that I do not notice that anyone reiterated how our trials and defense exhibits work, and have held true to form for decades now.
 
An enormously fabulous job was done by Miss Silkie and her entire crew for the big band camp New Year's Eve bash and we look forward to bigger and better things for the big Valentine's Day Band Camp Parent/Child Dance (VDBCPCD as most prefer).

Miss Silkie, we certainly appreciate karsonwithak's participation but he did, in fact, miss two bolded words of his beginning clue from the previous entry. There is no penalty as this is his first (of many, I'm sure) appearance here but we still need to point out, respectfully of course, that rules need to be followed. I'm sure our new friend will broadcast everything about us on his radio show Monday morning just like dmargalotti does each and every day. :p ;D
 
The big Valentine's Day Band Camp Parent/Child Dance (VDBCPCD as most prefer) will keep volunteers and staff members busy for the entire night tending to the needs of all who attend to rock out and have a little fun!

Looks like WMC2006 forgot to bold his beginning clue! :eek:
 
Have a little fun with my stupidity and forgetfulness now because I'll remember it all when someone else does it too.

Whoopsie! :-[
 
When someone else does it too, namely, compose extremely lengthy elaborate sentences, such as Mister dmargalotti and Mister quadraphonic have done today, I become highly competitive and want to outdo them but I don't know if the FWG has a word limit.
 
A word limit does not apply here but all we ask is that you keep your contributions neutral without going into highly controversial topics.
 
Highly controversial topics can be broached here in the friendly confines of the FWG (or TFWG as some prefer), but usually if someone brings up highly controversial topics, no one else can continue the line of thinking based on their ending clue without it being repetitive and banal quickly, like most political/highly controversial topics quickly devolve into being, and besides, if we have an ongoing conversation about controversial topics (or even one central topic for a too-lengthy period of time), then the FWG (or TFWG as some prefer) will lose all the panache we have garnered as the greatest most original internet sentence thread of all time (or TGMOISTOAT as some prefer).
 
A bad cough, headache, chills, and aches cannot stop you from your appointed duties, but you best keep your hands in your pockets and don't blame your feverishness and delusions when Olivia Newton-John and Megan McCormick come by for their Sunday afternoon band camp visit.

Fellow Board Members:
Sometimes I gotta admit: it would be nice to abbreviate or say those ladies' names in some kind of shorthand, but 1. it wouldn't do them justice to shorthand them, and 2. I don't want to shortchange our PowerWorld the FWG (or TFWG as some prefer) SEO efforts. We've been at it so long. The full names do not simply occur because the Board are trying to maintain any kind of professional distance or anything like that. Like every move the FWG (or TFWG as some prefer) makes, there is a method to the madness.
 
When Olivia Newton-John and Megan McCormick come by for their Sunday afternoon band camp visit, all other activities stop as everyone's attention is focused solely on them.
 
Focused solely on them is rarely something they would take seriously, and so the ne'er do wells of the flea circus continue on their path to their own detriment and eventual demise.
 
To their own detriment and eventual demise the Seattle Seahawks will go if they can't put up a better effort against the Washington Redskins.
 
The Washington Redskins are not a variety of potato, as I quickly discovered as soon as I dumped three of them into a pot of boiling water.
 
A pot of boiling water was once the request du jour by doctors to fathers back in the days when doctors and midwives delivered babies at home.
 
At home earlier, I was wondering why LARR tried to boil three football players until I realized he was probably being facetious.
 
Facetious humor often goes over peoples' heads unless they know me well enough to know that when I say I confuse Redskins with potatoes, I wouldn't really try to boil Redskins, nor, on the other hand, would I try to make a touchdown with a potato.
