Fantastic word game

The first contribution on Page 10,000 will appear sometime around the year 2027, will likely be
composed by a super-powerful miniaturized computer, and will probably say something such as 001101000010111001010000101100.

If a publishing company put all those codes in book form, would the company be a binary bindery?
 
001101000010111001010000101100 will be sent over to the other version of TFWG (as I prefer) so that it can be deciphered by Darth and the IT boys.

Because, like computers and robots, Darth and the IT boys will still be there.
 
Darth and the IT boys are all upstanding young men and without their hard work and technical skills, we would have to go "old school" and write everything down in a leather bound spiral notebook.
 
A leather bound spiral notebook containing aimless doodling and a few indecipherable scratchings is all I got out of Philosophy 205, the most boring college course ever.
 
The most boring college course ever may well have been any philosophy level, but the good news is that you did not run the risk of getting your brain all scrambled by actually paying attention to any of it.
 
Any of it and all of it was pretty boring and useless because, let's face it, how much philosophy do you really use on an average day.
 
Any of it that you still retain 20 years later makes all of your high-school memorization work worthwhile, especially if you're accosted by a gunman who demands your money and cell phone and you can put him to sleep by reciting the poem If by Edgar A. Guest.

I speak from experience---that fershlugginer poem is one of the things I had to memorize.
 
An average day at the Fantastic Word Game usually does not involve two people writing sentences at the same time and posting them within seconds of each other but I'm going to leave my previous post where it is because it offers excellent advice on how to deal with a gunman.

There! Now we're back on track.

A gunman, whom I recognized as the guy who used to sit front row center in Philosophy 205, pointed a gun at me and said, "Your money or your life ... but you can leave here with both, plus my eternal gratitude, if you'll help me with my doctoral thesis on Edgar A. Guest."
 
Edgar A. Guest lived from 1881 to 1959 and almost certainly was a fan of Laurel & Hardy comedies, so he was probably pleased to see that Edgar Kennedy became a successful comedy actor because Laurel and Hardy made Edgar a guest in several of their films.

This post may not be as memorable as the If poem...but it's much more clever.
 
In several of their films - most in fact - only the eldest three of the five Marx Brothers made appearances while Gummo, the soldier and Zeppo, the engineer were the second youngest and youngest of The Marx Brothers.
 
The Marx Brothers made their marks in motion pictures, Karl Marx made his mark in philosophy and economics, Richard Marx made his mark in music, and Johnny Marks made his mark in history by writing Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree and Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.

I'm sorry I couldn't find a way to include Marks-A-Lot pens. By the way, Johnny Marks was Jewish. He also wrote A Holly Jolly Christmas and Run Rudolph Run. I guess there isn't a lot of money to be made in the composition of Hanukkah songs.
 
Math is good for you and meth is bad for you, and if you think this is just a myth, then you can shut your mouth.

That reminds me of a funny story. Archaeologists in Ethiopia discovered a 50,000-year-old skull of a woman. They know it was a woman because the mouth was open. :)

My wife might see this. It's just a joke, honey, just a joke. Nothing personal.
 
"Shut your mouth!" snapped Irving Berlin to a reporter who wondered whether it was appropriate for a Jewish songwriter to have penned "White Christmas," the best-selling single of all time.
 
All time sounds like a really great phrase with which to begin a contribution but I can't think of one at this point in the evening so I'll have to do what I need to do here to move us along and hope that other contributors may be more creative.

LARR, speaking of your wife as you were, I'm sure there must be some fun and/or interesting factoid about her that you'd like to share since, after all, you are the Director of Fun and Interesting Factoids. Perhaps Mrs. LARR would like to be the Guest Factoider about herself. ;)
 
Creative and practical measures are being submitted to our international band camp directorate round table by band camps worldwide, in an effort to possibly spare Excalibur, the dog in Spain.
 
To possibly spare Excalibur, the dog in Spain who belonged to a man with the Ebola virus, the veterinarian who was expected to kill the animal removed all the bullets from his .22-caliber pistol, thereby making the gun into an ex-caliber, but it was to no avail because the dog was euthanized anyway.

Mister WMC, I can give you an amazing Fun Family Factoid: Mrs. LARR was on the girls' softball team in high school (and obviously not Mrs. LARR yet) and one time she pitched a no-hitter.
 
"Anyway You Want Me" was one of the earliest hits for the King of Rock and Roll.

When I suffer from the itching and burning of Factoids, I use Preparation F...
 
The King of Rock and Roll has spawned thousands of impersonators, some good, some bad, and you kind find most of them trying to eek out a meager living in Las Vegas.
