Fantastic word game

Their Valentine costumes have already been scrutinzed by the women who made them, so don't strain your eyes too much; you have TPS Reports to review too.
 
You have TPS Reports to review too which I forgot about in the frenzy so I'll make sure to get those done now that I've helped scrutinize the interns.
 
I've helped scrutinize the interns, said the game czar, who got his position thanks to our policy of promoting from within based upon the merit system and rejecting the spoils (patronage) system, so that people who are a bit "lower" in rank would also have an opportunity for promotion and then a little bit "lower" would also have an opportunity if everyone works hard, studies, gets good grades and passes their exams.

If everyone works hard, studies, gets good grades and passes their exams, Mister WMJ will take the interns on a field trip to someplace considerably more fun and enjoyable than the places he has taken them on previous field trips, which have always been nothing more than an empty field.

And not even "of dreams"---just a plain ol' empty field.
 
The Goodyear Blimp, being full of helium, made a completely uneventful, safe arrival at Lakehurst, New Jersey, today, disappointing a reporter with a tape recorder who was left with little to say but, "Oh, the banality!"
 
The banality of the blimp arrival certainly could not compare with the, "Oh the humanity!" exclamation made by Les Nesmith on location at the WKRP Turkey Drop.
 
The WKRP Turkey Drop was a much more famous television episode than the Happy Days episode in which a water-skiing Fonzie jumped over a shark, and yet "jump the shark" became a popular expression while almost no one ever uses the phrase "drop a turkey."

Maybe if Fonzie had dropped the turkeys, "drop a turkey" and not "jump the shark" would have become a popular expression. Aaaaay!
 
Drop a turkey and you might as well say goodbye to your toes.

]I]For the record, it was Les Nesmann, not Nesmith. ;)[/I]
 
Wave of gratitude to Jeff as he corrected me in front of the entire class after I corrected Miss Silkie in front of the entire class.

Ok, fine, it was Nessman, but it wasn't Nesmith! :D

Getting ready to head down to Illusions later today for the 80s Rockfest. Given dmargalotti's apparent departure from TFWG (as I prefer), PowerWorld and band camp, it seems (and Kenny can correct if I'm wrong) that Dave & Kenny's 80s Rockfest is now Kenny's 80s Rockfest. I'll be pitching in and helping out tonight. Look for me at the soundcheck. If I do a good job, maybe it will become Kenny and WMC's 80s Rockfest. :) ;)
 
The entire class of seniors stood up to receive their sheepskin diplomas at the Potrzebie High School graduation ceremony but Mister WMC, being a longstanding member of PETA, refused to accept his diploma until Principal Cowznofski explained to him that the diplomas are no longer made from actual sheepskin.

His first comment was "Baaa, humbug." :)
 
Sheepskin diplomas are okay, but lambswool or chinchilla would be better to have on a balmy 24 degree day with a northern wind making it feel like 14, while we cogitate (to use the fantastic word of the day) before a fire about what we must have been thinking during our mental image of all of those turkeys dropping out of the sky.
 
"The Sky's In Love With You" was not a hit record by Herb Alpert.

Richard Sanders, who played Les Nessman, lives in the Seattle area now and can sometimes be heard on the Seattle-based syndicated radio drama "Imagination Theatre."
 
Herb Alpert was famous for leading the Tijuana Brass and he had a number-one hit in 1968 with This Guy's In Love With You, but few people know that six years earlier, calling himself Dore Alpert, he had recorded Tell It To The Birds.

Once again, a combined post and Fun Factoid. The song got quite a bit of airplay on KFWB in Los Angeles. Here it is on good ol' YouTube. Hurry and listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgK6TiH6tW8
 
Tell It To The Birds because I don't care much for Herb Alpert because I do care for The Lovely Olivia who goes out of her way to stop by band camp any time she can.

The Lovely Megan hasn't stopped by since dmargalotti disappeared. I think he took her with him. Maybe that's WHY he disappeared!

It occurs to me that, with dmargalotti's disappearance from TFWG, I'm the last remaining sole survivor from the original group of contributors (regular and non-regular) from 8 years ago. Makes me feel sad that we've lost so many good people. But it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and stuff for those of you who ARE here. <sniffle> :)
 
Any time she can dance the can-can, Candace does so, partly because the dance is fun and partly because it is a vigorous exercise which helps her to stay slim, although Candace can not figure out why the dance is called the can-can when she is shaking her legs and not her can.

I could have written a longer sentence but I figured Jeff would just tell me to can it! :)
 
In the late 70s, most men should definitely quit wearing speedos and tank tops.

Kenny, that's what you get for omitting that apostrophe! :) Jeff, thank you for the link to that early Herb Alpert novelty recording. I had never heard it---or even heard of it. I was a big fan of Jan & Dean and that recording included the "Ba-ba-ba-ba" chorus of Jennie Lee, which featured Jan Berry with Arnie Ginsburg in the pre-Jan-&-Dean days.
