Fantastic word game

Spring forward in the Spring for daylight savings time, and fall back in the fall for daylight saving time, which comes the first weekend in November this year.

You get to hibernate for an extra hour anyways, dmargalotti
 
On January 1 or thereabouts I will probably be ringing in the New Year with my family while watching The Twilight Zone Marathon instead of that show hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
 
That mistake again will not be made, mainly because Dick Clark died in April 2012, but when he was in charge of the grill, he tried to cook hamburger meat with a very high fat content and the sputtering grease and fat nearly started a fire, and, to make matters worse, Dick declared that he actually liked the sound of the sputtering grease and fat because "It has a good beat and you can dance to it."

Whew! That was a lot of effort just to make a reference that a lot of people probably won't understand.
 
You can dance to it, LARR, but in these times, the kids would probably more likely understand that "it was really pitchy, dawg".
 
"It was really pitchy, dawg" was something we heard a lot a few years ago when American Idol judge, Randy Jackson spent a summer with us as a volunteer band camp talent coach.

The kids really loved Randy but I think they were mostly glad that we didn't bring in Simon Cowell.
 
Coach must be having a huge handbag and accessory sale, because the interns are glued to their buying guides cover to cover.

...and naturally, we cannot resist the shopping reminder to park in well lit areas, do not have full arms, put the purchases in the trunk out of the sight of ne'er do wells who try on all different kinds of looks (to their pathetic shame) and even though you are sure you locked the door, check the back seat and floors before you get into the car. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Cover to cover is another term that is losing it's meaning thanks to technology because most kids these days don't read actual books with pages and covers, they read a Kindle or other brand of eReader.

It's like telling a kid they "sound like a broken record" when they don't know what a record is or what a broken one would sound like.
 
eReader brands may come and go, but our interns know better than to go online to do research, and so they use the catalogues, especially what with Christmas and Chanukkah coming along shortly.

And while we are on the subject of shopping, don't forget to be aware of your surroundings, so that some Cretan you've seen a gazillion times doesn't hang around and duck down while waiting in a parking spot in a different ride until you get out of the car and then comes to walk alongside you. Just a reminder, so that you can give yourself room to make noise and take off the other way to avoid letting them anywhere near you, whether they think they are strangers or not. They are.
 
Coming along shortly, there will be another Megan McCormick/Olivia Newton-John Marathon on the Jumbotron in the FWG Convocation Center and on all of our usual media outlets.
 
Media outlets like radio, TV, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, seem to have no end, but the one thing that remains constant is the parade of looky loos to the FWG.
 
The parade of looky loos to the FWG are almost always attracted (and apparently more often than not, petrified of) our style, class, intellectual acuity, and overall wondrousness.
 
Our style, class, intellectual acuity, and overall wondrousness are the example to be met, but in order to understand what we even mean one must already be in our band camp league.
 
Our band camp league of extraordinary posters does not take applications, and is solely based on a super-secret formula that's derived from your contributions and determined by a very restricted group of people, so there are, as you'd expect only a few members.
 
Only a few members of our band camp went on the field trip to the U-Pick Cherry Farm and, because most of them were fairly short, I had to instruct them, "If you can't reach a high cherry, just pick a low."

I can hear it now: quad and WMC and dmargalotti are all thinking that I've reached a new low for bad puns.
 
A low temp around 30 is expected tonight as we head towards the fall season but the low temps are nothing compared to the frosty reception LARR receives for some of his bad punnetry.

See what I did there?
 
It bit Mitt and then lit out while Mitt had to grit his teeth to keep from throwing a fit until he could discover exactly what kind of "it" it was.

It doesn't matter to me, though---I don't give a whit!
