Fantastic word game

Throwing stones to test the adage might be a little painful so, instead, we'll try that sticks-and-stones finger game that I can't remember the name of off the top of my head.
 
The pun master is here to regale you with (a) a story about the Alaskan optometrist who is an optical Aleutian and (b) a warning about how you shouldn't make a belt out of cardboard because that would be a waist of paper and (c) a sad tale about my wife, who passed out but doesn't have the faintest idea why.

Don't blame me! Scanman started this!
 
The faintest idea to me why LARR comes up with all of this stuff is either that he needs the attention or he needs to release certain energy and this is the best way he knows how.
 
He knows how to break boards with his bare hands but unfortunately when Mister WMC is accosted by a stranger in a dark alley late at night, the stranger is seldom carrying any boards and then poor Mister WMC just stands there, not knowing what to do.
 
Not knowing what to do, I hand him an invitation to visit The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as I prefer) and I also ask him to invite as many of his friends as he can.

That's pretty much how you got here, isn't it LARR? ;D
 
I also ask him to invite as many of his friends as he can is what Mister WMC told me, so I asked all of my friends and, as it turned out, both of them were uninterested.

I found this site last year while searching for radio news sites. For nine years I wrote the daily Rewind feature for LARadio.com and I didn't join this site until after Don Barrett shut down his site. He couldn't fully retire though; he still maintains the site, although it's not on a daily basis like before.
 
Punnery and related wordplay learning will be taught to the band camp kids this summer during a special elective course being taught in the library by LARadioRewind with some assistance from the lovely young library interns who always smile politely even if they don't always understand some of his humor.
 
The lovely young library interns who always smile politely even if they don't always understand some of his humor will get teaching assistance credit towards their classes over at PowerWorld University (PU as most prefer).
 
Their classes over at PowerWorld University (PU as most prefer) include "An Introduction to The FWG 101" and one of the first lessons taught is that all beginning and ending clues must be properly marked with bold type.


Looks like SOMEONE might be to take a refresher class. ;) ;D
 
Bold type is how we start the sentences, and I'm not naming no names, but the same dude who forgot to bold that last exemplar of an unbolded start also left off a "why" a few posts back, but at least he included it a few words into the sentence.

So I guess it's all good, since his intentions were good, nobody got burned and we're one post closer to 10,000 pages.
 
Shakespeare class was just a muddled few hours for me every week, because I did not get the same overwhelming jollies from reading it and discussing it that our professor and half the class did.
 
The John Phillip Sousa Museum of American Marching Band History (or JPSMAMBH as a few band geeks prefer) might be a mouthful to say in a normal situation, but it's almost impossible to enunciate it right when you try saying it with a Sousaphone in your mouth!
