Fantastic word game

Our little game at storytime includes a break to send the kiddies to the lounge for a hot cocoa break, so that we can move our token, undetected, to another snowy part of the world where we will pick up right where we left off, to see many colorful houses and villages, to say nothing of the comings and goings of reindeer at work and play.

Let's face it, if they're going to play with technology we might as well make it wholesome and educational, right?

Reindeer at work and play have no idea what their daily activities, most done while freezing their little asses off, have to do with Christianity, presents or a fat man in a red and white suit.
 
A fat man in a red and white suit is just a fat man in a red and white suit, but when that fat man has his origins as an orphan in a part of Greece that is now southern Turkey, a solid reputation for caring for and rescuing children - backed by hard facts - who leads the way to the Saviour, he is a different fat man in a red suit, but he is recognized sometimes all year, and sometimes only once a year.

Sweetie Pie, on the other hand, has the train tour all worked out, so we in the Fun Department suggest to those who are cranky and miserable indulge the children a moment of solid education with a bit of whimsy, along with others who may be in need of some cheering up. Thank you. That's right, he and others point the way. So there.
 
He is recognized sometimes all year, and sometimes only once a year, but that depends on whether you regard Uncle Sam as a perennial symbol of our nation or as only someone who comes to us every April 15th demanding our money.

There is a saying, "Pay your taxes with a smile." I tried that...but they wanted cash.
 
Ho, Ho, Ho, chanted the crowd at Kaua'i Community College Performing Arts Center in Hawai'i and, after they were almost hoarse from yelling, Don Ho finally took the stage and immediately launched into a redition of his most famous song, Tiny Bubbles.
 
Tiny bubbles in your wine could indicate that you either have champagne, Asti Spumante, Lambrusco, or somebody dumped some Mr. Bubble in your claret and shook the bottle before securely replacing the cork.
 
Securely replacing the cork into the naughty language bottle, I have instructed CTListener to please watch his language because we're a family program and also we don't want to catch the RD General Manager in a bad move whereby he might throw part of the game into the Take It Outside board or whatever it's called now.

Thank you, CTListener. PowerWorld appreciates your support and restraint. :)
 
Whatever it is called now the interns advise that they have discreetly switched the dreidels in the toy box with the dreidels that were in the librarian's desk drawer, since some wiseguy had four sided gimel (winner takes all the chocolate gelt) in the toy box, and four sided shin (loser put one in) in the librarian's desk drawer.

You have to get up pret-ty early in the morning to get one over on those gals.
 
The librarian's desk drawer contains a 14-by-20-inch sign with big black letters that say "Shhhh!" and she holds the sign up any time library patrons are being especially noisy, because if she simply shushed them verbally, they likely would not hear her.

When the librarian shushed me, I told her she sounded like a leaky tire or a whistling teapot.
 
They likely would not hear her if she sang in a whisper so The Lovely Olivia (TLO as we all prefer) belts it out when she sings most of the songs from 'Grease'.

Except for 'Hopelessly Devoted To You'.
 
Most of the songs from Grease were written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, who, sadly, never became as famous as other songwriting teams such as Rodgers and Hart, Bacharach and David, Lennon and McCartney, and the Three Little Pigs.

Frank Churchill took credit for Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf but we all know that Practical Pig wrote the words and collaborated with Fifer and Fiddler on the music.
 
The Three Little Pigs, the Three Musketeers, and the Three Stooges all agree that good things come in threes, as they prepare for a nonuple date with the Chipettes, the Dixie Chicks, and the Kardashian sisters.

The Three Blind Mice, however, don't see much point in it.
 
"My day used to end with a sermonette, a recitation of technical information and ownership, and a stirring rendition of the national anthem by a military band before my owners took me full-time," said my local anthromorphic TV station.

The best thing about old issues of Broadcasting were the ads featuring smiling, excited-looking TV sets, towers and microphones, all telling you why WXXX or KZZZ is No. 1 in Insert Market Name Here.
 
My local anthromorphic TV station rarely gets very thrilled about all of the anthromorphic buildings, bathroom facilities, bears, bladders, mops, tops, and any other imaginable things under the sun.
 
Other imaginable things under the sun, besides the things that have already been imagined and invented, include a bladeless knife for chefs who are accident-prone, a prescription windshield for people who don't like to wear glasses when they drive, and a radio made out of candy so it can get AM, FM and M&Ms.

Who wants to get started on those? WMC, I can answer for Jeff: "nonuple" means "ninefold; in a multiple of nine." A nonuple date would involve nine people, or three sets of triplets. If a woman carried nine children to full term and all nine were delivered alive, they would be nonuplets. However, I don't think any human could be pregnant with nine children. In the United States, there have been only two successful deliveries of octuplets (eight), one to Nigerian-born Nke Chukwu in 1996 and one to "Octomom" Nadya Suleman in 2009. Hey, this makes today's Fun Factoid!
 
M & Ms and Skittles mixed together in the same candy dish give you a dish of S & M.

By the way, don't try it; it's not as kinky as it sounds, and the combination tastes lousy...

Incidentally, LARR, as a double date actually involves four people, a nonuple date (and you're right about the origin) would involve 18 people, as you would be coming up with dates for nine. Two's company, three's a crowd, 18 is just ridiculous.

S & M does sound a bit kinky while B & N sounds a bit bookish.

Think about that one while you're reading and enjoying a pastry or coolata.
