Fantastic word game

You are thinking at all of the games you have prepared for the little band campers on this beautiful Sunday.

I've been walking around band camp this morning. Nice to see a lot of PowerWorld associates and their family members putting in some volunteer work even though it's not required today. Saw scanman and his little team involved in a tug of war with LARR and his team. Quite the competition going on there!
 
This beautiful Sunday finds Miss Silkie in the band camp commissary preparing beautiful sundaes for all the kids to eat so they will have enough energy to play Monday Monday, Friday On My Mind and Saturday In The Park while Tuesday Weld and Wednesday Addams sing along.

I know, I know---WMC is going to tell me that was a week sentence.
 
Sing along with any of Dave & Kenny's playlist and you could win a free ride on the Illusions mechanical bull.

LARR, Sargeant Friday informed that he'll be taking you in for questioning.
 
The Illusions mechanical bull bucks with such rapid jerky motions that it will cow any of the jackasses who think they can stay on it for more than five seconds.

In case anyone thinks this sentence is a lot of bull, here is the definition of "cow": Cow, verb: to destroy the resolve or courage of; also, to bring to a state or an action by intimidation—used with into. (Probably of Scandinavian origin; akin to Danish kue, to subdue. First known use: 1581.)
 
The Jetsons had a pretty good TV run from 1962-1988, but today the interns in the library have pulled together some good wishes for retirement from the library's language lab to the man who presided over many activities in the band camps all over Spain for nearly 40 years, so to King Juan Carlos of Spain from all of us on the PowerWorld Board of Directors, mis mejores deseos en su retiro para un rey sabio, and those interns better hope that means best wishes in retirement to a wise king.

And I better hope my high school Spanish held up.
 
The royal dog house is, in my opinion, a very clever name for the concession stand at the Kansas City baseball team's ballpark.

Today's Fun Factoid: Historians believe that Gaius, Emperor Nero's cook, was the first person to make a sausage. Two cities, Frankfurt ("frankfurter") and Vienna ("vienna sausage"/"weiner"), claim to be the birthplace of the modern-day hot dog. German immigrants in New Yoirk began selling weiners from pushcarts in the 1860s and Charles Feltman may have been the first to put weiners in rolls.
 
Ballpark layouts are pretty much all the same, except for that home run distance goal that is farthest away from home plate.
 
Farthest away from home plate is where I like to sit in the hope of catching a nice souvenir of the baseball game, and I'm referring not to a home-run ball but to the bats that the players sometimes throw in anger after they strike out.

One time at a Dodgers-Pirates game, I saw Dave Parker strike out and then angrily break his bat across his knee. He got booed loudly the next time he came up to bat. The above isn't too far-fetched!
 
Strike out and you won't be able to run to first base unless the catcher happens to drop the ball in which case the runner should attempt to reach first before the catcher retrieves the ball and throws to first or tags the runner beforehand]/b].

David Ortiz broke his bat on his leg just a few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGEAXFddT_I
 
Beforehand, we made our reservations at the popular downtown fine-dining restaurant so once we arrived, we could go right in, sit down at our table and enjoy an exquisite meal.
 
Our way should not have to be a choice between "my way or the highway" because there is no way we should risk being waylaid by some wayfarer whose way is way off from what our own way is, and anyway we are way too smart to be easily led away.

Whoever responds to that, be sure to weigh your words carefully.
 
We are way too smart to be easily led away to other less satisfactory internet threads which is why some of us stay here in an attempt to create history.

I got home way late and not feeling too creative so, after weighing my options, I did the best I could to keep us going.

And, for some reason, I'm now thinking about scales and when people first started weighing themselves and I'm thinking that LARR must have some interesting factoid or four regarding scales and weighing and some such.
 
An attempt to create history is certainly a worthwhile endeavour if one accomplishes something people will remember like, for example, riding a bicycle on water!
