Fantastic word game

You should never ever ever ever ever post dialogue without also playing the game, but since you have received such a harsh punishment from the Game Czar, the Fun Department will not necessarily require you to trade that really nice looking Entenmann's Pecan Danish for the Brand X (not Quaker) Oatmeal somebody pranked us with, depending upon your behaviour when it comes to not posting puns for 3 days and 3 nights.
 
Not posting puns for 3 days and 3 nights will be a challenge for me, especially after being given six demerits and immediately thinking of Jimmy Demaret, the first golfer to win the Masters three times, but I will accept my punishment, even though I'm asking for leniency because I at least remembered to italicize what I wrote.
 
Italicize what I wrote, was what she ordered me to do; I asked her how I could do that when I don't speak Italian.

Well, except for words like spaghetti, pepperoni, mozzarella...
 
Italian characters were portrayed by Leonard "Chico" Marx in all thirteen Marx Brothers movies but Chico was actually born in New York to a mother who came from Germany and a father who came from France.

No puns...and a Fun Factoid. How did I do?
 
France appreciates the shout-out and we all appreciate the pun-free contribution.

Even though you forgot to bold your ending clue. ;)

Meanwhile, Jeff, you need to watch your sentences. You basically used two full sentences. Gotta stick with one pretty please. Thanks muchly. :)

The pun-free contribution I made above should probably have included the word "so" after the semicolon.

Well, the past couple pages have been pretty messy anyway; SO I guess I could have done worse.
 
The semicolon is not nearly as important as the colon because the colon can be turned sideways and double as the letter "I" in Morse Code but the semicolon turned sideways can only be used to represent a pair of eyes, one of them winking, in an emoticon.

And why don't teenagers ever use Morse Code in their text messages? It's becoming obsolete!
 
An emoticon is a face made with punctuation marks and I'm wondering why no clever artist has tried to draw an entire body using punctuation marks.

Tonight, December 2, was the 50th annual telecast of A Charlie Brown Christmas. The scene with Snoopy eating bones was cut. The scene with Sally dictating a letter to Santa was cut. The scene with Lucy claiming that Christmas is a racket run by an eastern syndicate was cut. The scene with Shermy complaining about always playing a shepherd was cut. And why were those four scenes cut? So ABC could run more commercials! Apparently, greed is what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
 
Punctuation marks include exclamation marks to demonstrate outrage over the idiocy of ABC to revise even the history of a cartoon, which just goes to show the wisdom of the old children's poem, "When a job is once begun, never leave it till it's done; be the labor big or small, do it right or not at all.
 
Do it right or not at all is the exhortation in a quatrain that my grandmother taught to me when I was a child, but my favorite version is the one that was recited by Tommy Smothers of the Smothers Brothers, who said, "If a task is once begun, never leave it till it's done; be thy labor great or small, do it well or don't do it."

And why the heck aren't all the Smothers Brothers' 1960s albums available on CD? By the way, if Mister WMC says that the above is actually two sentences, I can point out that I was only following the precedent of Miss Silkie. Perhaps the Rules Committee should clarify whether a post which quotes a two-line poem qualifies as a single sentence.
 
Baretta actor Robert Blake got into a lot of trouble a few years back but we won't get into that messy situation as we try to stay the happy bunch that we are here at the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as Miss Silkie and the lovely young library interns know I prefer).

LARR, I have no issues with your contribution or Miss Silkie's. They were both long well-written sentences with quoted poems. Well done. :)
 
The happy bunch that we are here at the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as Miss Silkie and the lovely young library interns know I prefer) will have a fun time caroling this year, although we will have to resist the urge to declare that Joy To The World is "JTTW as we prefer."

And we can't refer to Jingle Bells as JB because Jeff will think we're talking about a brand of scotch whiskey. :)
 
As we prefer "retro" technology, Jeff will provide this year's Christmas party entertainment with his Kalart Victor 16mm sound projector and a selection of Castle Films.

Including those holiday favorites Howdy Doody's Christmas, Three Little Dwarfs (Hardrock, Coco and Joe,) and everyone's favorite, Woody Woodpecker Plays Santa Claus. In Anscochrome color, yet...

Castle Films released Abbott & Costello's 1952 Jack & The Beanstalk movie for home viewing, and I was truly surprised that Lou Costello was able to scale a castle wall without accidentally knocking over the big sheet of blue-painted plywood which was supposed to look like the sky.

It might have been the inspiration for the painted-plywood ocean in the Disney tv series Hannah Montana, Austin & Ally and The Suite Life On Deck.
 
The sky, despite what many people believe, was what Jimi Hendrix wanted to kiss.

Actually, "Jack and the Beanstalk" was one of the few Abbott and Costello movies Castle Films did NOT release in 16 or 8mm. But the copyright on it expired, and any number of small companies did release it for home showings; first on film, then VHS cassettes, and finally DVDS.
 
Kiss is a song released in 1986 by Prince, and then It was remade 3 years later by Tom Jones.

Of course, KISS is also a major Rock Group as well.

The Love Boat was a 1977-86 tv series and each episode featured a lot of celebrities but not as many as the number who showed up every year at the annual Christmas party at Hugh Hefner's mansion on Charing Cross Road in Los Angeles.

"Another pair of monogrammed silk pajamas! Just what I need!" :)
 
The annual Christmas party at Hugh Hefner's mansion on Charing Cross Road in Los Angeles must seem confusing to all the guests who wonder if it's really Easter because they see bunnies instead of reindeer.

Today I heard The First Noel on the radio and I thought of something that I had never before thought of. The song is believed to date from the 1700s and was first published in an 1823 book, Carols Ancient & Modern. The original author is unknown. The lyrics mention "a cold winter's night that was so deep." How the heck can a night be "deep"?
