Fantastic word game

[JeffM]

Time to get out of this rut about time, don't you think?

I understand we have an understanding. Understood?

 

[dmargalotti]

Don't you think we should avoid posting responses that are questions?

Oh wait, that's a question...never mind.

 

[Silkie]

Questions regarding this year's trick or treat parade should be directed to the Fun Department.

 

[WMC2006]

The Fun Department goes non-stop all year long but goes pretty much double time non-stop starting now.

Had to get another time reference in there. I wonder if Jeff has any fun and/or interesting factoids regarding time. Hmmmmmmm.

 

[scanman1]

Starting now, everybody hop on one foot.

 

[dmargalotti]

Hop on one foot and you're out of the game because scanman did not say, "Simon says".

 

[CTListener]

"Simon says" is a simple game, which still didn't keep the 1910 Fruitgum Company from confusing it with "Simple Simon," which is not a game but a nursery rhyme.

 

[Silkie]

A nursery rhyme in time saves nine does not make as much sense as a stitch in time, but then Mother May I, also a game in which you get thrown out for simply doing as you are told without asking, "Mother May I?", is not really as entertaining as Mother Goose, not to be confused with Father Goose, who was played by Cary Grant.

 

[dmargalotti]

Cary Grant used to make all the guys jealous and all the ladies swoon.

 

[dmargalotti]

All the ladies swoon whenever WMC strolls through his hometown singing a medley of hits from Olivia Newton-John.

Hey, where did everyone go? Hope the aliens didn't take you away!

 

[dmargalotti]

A medley of hits from Olivia Newton-John playing automatically every time you came to The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG) would probably improve our response rate.

Okay, only three posts in the last 23 hours. And they're all from ME. Hey, people! Where did you go? WMC? Silkie, Scanman? Jeff? Hello? Anyone?????

 

[Silkie]

A medley of hits from Olivia Newton-John played in the background while the FWG Board of Directors freaked out and ran in a gizillion different directions over a possible hurricane headed our way along the Eastern Seaboard.

 

[dmargalotti]

The Eastern Seaboard called and asked us to remind Miss Silkie that the proper clue to being her post with was "our response rate" however in spite of this omission, she is still a fan favorite around here.

 

[CTListener]

A fan favorite around here, and anywhere people use fans, is air, blown in the face to provide relief from oppressive heat and humidity.

 

[JeffM]

Humidity is considered a cardinal virtue by those with a speech impediment.

 

[scanman1]

A speech impediment would make it difficult to get up in front of an audience and deliver a speech about the virtues of joining the Fantastic Word Game.

 

[dmargalotti]

Joining the Fantastic Word Game or TFWG as some people prefer comes with many benefits, perks, and privileges including your very own secret decoder ring.

 

[WMC2006]

Secret decoder ring applications can be turned in with any TPS report.

Sorry I've missed 24 hours, I was waterlogged while trying to commute to and from work during some heavy rainstorms. And, hey, nice to see CTListener making an appearance or two again. Scanman, keep an eye on the hurricane. We may have to take steps to protect some of our band camps and band campers in the path.

 

[Silkie]

Any TPS report that even gets turned in is appreciated, but with so many seeking a secret decoder ring, we might see many TPS reports with the secret decoder ring application stapled on the corner using the PowerWorld Board's red Swingline stapler.

 

[WMC2006]

The PowerWorld Board's red Swingline stapler is for Board use only unless specific Board permission is granted following a mandatory 2 hour waiting period.

Hey, it's the Board's rules, not ours.
