Fantastic word game

No haste at all is probably a good thing, since haste makes waste and my waist is already too big.

That one works better if someone reads it to you so you don't see the spelling. Haste comes from the Old Frisian hāste, which is related to the Old English hæst, which means "violence." The word originally referred to extremely reckless speed. But is "reckless" the same as "violent"? Are there any Old English people around so we could ask?
 
Too big a hit is how the Fantastic Word Game has occasionally been described here and there, but we know that it just isn't big until it reaches 10,000 pages.
 
Until it reaches 10,000 pages, the new union for high-school juniors who work as aides in the Senate will likely have very little political influence.

The House of Representatives used to have a Page program as well...but they ended it in 2011. Something about "budget cutbacks."
 
Fly here and there and everywhere to open up new band camp locations is what dmargalotti used to do for us and currently nobody does that so it looks like I'll be the one to fill that role temporarily next week when we are scheduled to open our new band camp in Turks and Caicos.

Miss Silkie, perhaps you'd like to accompany me to Turks and Caicos for the event if you think the lovely young library interns can keep the Tasty Tidbits going. Of course, that means LARR and Jeff would be in charge back here at the main campus. THAT'S scary!! We'll need to discuss this situation.
 
Turks and Caicos have many landmarks, so it is curious to see an inukshuk in your travels, unless one of our campers from the north pole region scouted out the islands and taught the kiddies there about setting up a marker in places like the tundra that have no other landmarks.

They're all pretty much different really, depending on the necessity at the time.
 
Places like the tundra that have no other landmarks is such a weird clue, Miss Silkie, that I have no idea what to do with it so I'll just acknowledge it, smile at it, give it a high five, and move us along on our merry way.

Snowmageddon 2015 continues here in southern New England and central Mass. More than 2 feet of snow here in my town and close to 30 inches next door in Worcester, MA making it one of the top 3 heaviest snowfalls in recorded history. Boston is hitting the top 5 for them. A state of emergency remains in effect for the eastern half of the state.
 
Move us along on our merry way, Mister snowplow driver, and we will be happy to be able to get to where we're going, even though we're on foot and not driving a vehicle.

Out here in Glendale it's sunny and warm right now but I wrote that one for all the Massachusans...Massachusettsians...Massachustians---oh, whatever they're called!
 
Driving a vehicle may be a problem for Bay Staters right now, but since the worst of the storm passed to our east, it's back to normal for us Nutmeggers.

That's what we're known as, LARR. Bay State and Nutmeg State (although the state nickname on our plates is Constitution State) provide easier-to-pronounce alternatives to Massachusettsians, Connecticutters and the like.
 
Nutmeggers sounds more like a potential nickname for people with a different shade of red hair than gingers.

How about Massers? (Your huddled Massers, yearning to breathe free...) Connecticutters sounds like a ten-buck haircut place.
 
Gingers are the rhizomes of plants in the Zingiberaceae family and are used to flavor ginger ale and ginger beer but apparently had nothing to do with the flavor of Ginger Rogers.

Fred Astaire would have known for certain but he died in 1987.
 
Backwards sometimes run sentences here; where all will it end knows only God.

PS to Silkie: Not only that, but she had to do it in high heels too!
 
God only knows how long the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as Miss Silkie knows I prefer) will continue on but I hope He has some exciting things in store for us.
 
For us to reach Page 10,000 will probably take a miracle, as well as a few posters who left rather conspicuously at a point in time, and who will probably return under the right circumstances.
 
The right circumstances might bring back dmargalotti and quadraphonic but, sadly, we'll never again see the likes of Darth_Vader, andreajesus, Stuart or former Linguistics Czar raptus regalitur.

Fortunately, we have Darth with us over at TFWG2 (as most prefer) at another location.
 
The likes of Darth_Vader, andreajesus, Stuart or former Linguistics Czar raptus regalitur goes back to the time when RD was RI and there were many more people on here back then.

Even the local radio board here "Central CA" has lost a lot of people since the temporary shut down a year ago.
 
Keep it going as long as we can so we can all star in a movie of the week about ourselves.

I may have misspelled raptus's screenname, I didn't bother checking beforehand. It might have been 'regaliter'. Bad me. :)
 
A movie of the week about ourselves would, without a doubt, draw the lowest Nielsen rating in television [/b]history.[/b[

Rhizomes? Regaliter?? Really???
