Fantastic word game

Any number of songs with an abrupt ending or fade has the interns and the boys from the journal writing section all abuzz, pencils in hand from behind their ears, with news that either the friendly stranger in the black sedan thought he smelled blood in the water, so he decided to take a little after hours cruise through band camp, or he was sent on an errand, just as Sweetie Pie and the librarian knew all along.

We're good

Sweetie Pie and the librarian knew all along that I was coming by to check on the lovely young library interns and to find out how their latest super secret band camp project is coming along.
 
Coming along the street is the ice cream man and I have to go get a dollar out of my piggy bank so I can get a Popsicle and, while I'm at it, I just may tell him that I'm getting really sick of his chimes playing Tubular Bells over and over.

After I eat my Popsicle, I always fall asleep and then have nightmares!
 
Tubular Bells over and over is thought by loosely wrapped types from that other band camp to be the Mike Oldfield Michael Jackson Thriller version of Over and Over, by The Dave Clark Five.
 
The Dave Clark Five is thrilled to get a shout-out from Miss Silkie and they are now hoping to get an invitation to our next TFWG Oldies But Goodies SingALong (TFWGOBGSAL as most prefer).
 
TFWG Oldies But Goodies SingALong (TFWGOBGSAL as most prefer) is gonna be a Bobby Day sing-a-long spectacular, seein' as he is the one who originally wrote and recorded Over and Over, which the Dave Clark Five remade, and I know this is because I was the attentive one at Golden Oldies School and did Sweetie Pie's homework while he knew all and was the little grasshopper that played, just like The Coasters said of way cool Charlie Brown.
 
Always pickin' on me is not something I spend a whole lot of time wondering about, because time shows that them what what spends decades of energy doin' the pickin', are the sorrowful, fearful, ruined, broke and prolly a little bit deranged by the time they go away and it catches up.

Strange thing is they never know it, because they've been spoon fed lots of great tasting manure. And they always go away, even if it takes a bit of doing at the time.
 
By the time they go away and it catches up to the lip of the upside-down bottle, the diners will have no way of knowing that if they had waited just two minutes more, they could have had ketchup to put on their hamburgers.

Remember the old tv commercials with Carly Simon's Anticipation playing in the background? Ketchup (or "catsup" as some prefer) comes out verrrrry slowly!
 
For tomorrow I'm going to borrow a narrow wheelbarrow from my hero, Tom Morrow, who works at a Carrows restaurant, and do a thorough job of digging up my taro roots so I can be a "straight arrow" and ship them to my cousins who live in Point Barrow and the Faroe Islands and still admire Spiro Agnew.

I bet Miss Silkie thought I was going to make a "Wimpy" joke about paying on Tuesday for a hamburger today. Naw, that was too obvious.
 
Spiro Agnew vintage gubernatorial campaign buttons are pretty hard to come by, but we have them in the library vault, along with other campaign memorabilia that came down through a generation or two.

Nah, LARR, it was just obvious that I was the one who needed to make a Wimpy Burger reference. Since nobody else is looking, and we are being left to take up the slack, I think we should have an all out barbecue for the kiddies.
 
A generation or two have grown up with computers and when they hear the word "online" they will immediately think of the World Wide Web and not have any idea that at one time the word referred to the place where we hung our clothes after we took them out of the washing machine.

Now I'm feeling nostalgic. I think I'll go play some of my old Paul Whiteman and Billy Murray 78-rpm phonograph records on my Victrola.
 
The washing machine is going fulltilt right now as I get all my 'coloreds' cleaned up from the last few days.

Later in the week, I'll do my whites. ;)

Sorry I've been amongst the missing. Got home late last night, turned on the puter, and found that it was taken over by some kind of spammy/virusy/trojany kind of thing. Spent a couple of hours on the phone with Symantec to get it taken care of. Seems ok now. I'll have Darth and the boys double check it later on.
 
The last few days have been much warmer and it's possible that we could hit the mid 70s over the weekend although I'll believe it when it happens.
 
I'll believe it when it happens too, and I will prolly faint from a case of the vapors if people from some of those other camps ever learn, as we have, the old words of wisdom, "Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see".

Especially if the half you see is the half that was brought to your attention while drawing your attention away from the half that prompted what you thought you saw.

Watching it for the first time after all of the reviews are in gives you a chance to just relax, observe and know that Hollywood types or in what is often erroneously called the news the reporters pick, choose and get all caught up in the moment and miss the salient points of the programming.

That is why we have the newly created school of faithful journalism at the FWG.
 
The programming of my computer so it can read and respond to posts was a relatively easy task for me, so now I can be out doing other things while the computer creates and posts sentences to the Wanfastic Gord Fame.

Okay, I can see that I still have a bug to fix.
 
The Wanfastic Gord Fame didn't go so well and, in fact, rumor has it is that's what killed Radio Discussions back in December.

I think it was TheDude who did it. ;)
