Fantastic word game

[WMC2006]

If you had to stop by Miss Silkie's Tasty Tidbits for a treat, you would be welcomed and helped by the lovely young library interns and/or Sweetie Pie.

The lovely young library interns and/or Sweetie Pie are always more than happy to recommend something good from the menu to eat if you're having a hard time making up your mind.

 

[dmargalotti]

Making up your mind about which presidential candidate to vote for can be tough which is why I'm really hoping someone running for office will come out in support of the one issue that really matters to me, mandatory nap time for all Americans.

 

[Silkie]

Mandatory nap time for all Americans is a capital idea that periodically shows up in the suggestion box, and now we know who makes that routine recommendation.

It really is a good idea though.

 

[dmargalotti]

That routine recommendation really could make us a healthier, less stressed, less angry country which is why I fully support the concept.

 

[MarcB]

I fully support the concept of the new "Maple Bacon" potato chips that we sell at my store, but when I actually tasted them, they were gross.

Actually I lied. I never tasted them. I'm trying to lose weight. My boss/best friend tried to mess up my weight loss attempt by buying a bag and telling me to have as many as I wanted.

 

[WMC2006]

They were gross which is why we deleted them from our menu and went with something less gross.

 

[scanman1]

Something less gross than greasy and salty junk to snack on would be very desirable.

 

[dmargalotti]

Desirable is a word most often associated with the lovely Olivia Newton-John.

 

[MarcB]

Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" has been playing a lot lately over the intercom at work.

And I have no idea why since 1981 is way older than 95% of the other music they play.

 

[CTListener]

The intercom at work hasn't worked for weeks, so we just yell down the hall a lot.

 

[Silkie]

Yell down the hall a lot, and you could run a whole lot of bidness to your competitors, namely, us.

...and, "Thank you for your business", takes on a whole new meaning.

 

[dmargalotti]

Your competitors, namely, us thank you for sending customers our way but please don't expect us to return the favor.

 

[Silkie]

Don't expect us to return the favor, because the only time we refer out is to Curb & Co., while we sing, "Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out".

 

[dmargalotti]

Way out in space somewhere beyond Pluto, scientists think they may have discovered a 10th planet in our solar system.

 

[Silkie]

A 10th planet in our solar system would be a fine thing, as long as the scientists recognize that Pluto is still the 9th planet from the sun.

Nobody much cares about the opinions of a few scientists who have demoted Pluto; Pluto continues to orbit the sun, as it has for at least 8 trips around the sun in the past 2000 years, staying in its own proper path. Earth has made a little less than 2015 trips around the sun in the same period of time.

 

[dmargalotti]

Pluto is still the 9th planet from the sun but only when he's not busy being a cartoon dog for Disney.

 

[MarcB]

A cartoon dog for Disney could be Pluto or Goofy.

 

[JeffM]

Goofy novelty songs are no longer part of the radio mix on most stations, and I think our sense of humor is the poorer for it.

Hi friends, I'm still around, just waited for a good place to jump back in.

 

[WMC2006]

For it to be a proper and perhaps brief welcome back for JeffM, we hope he provides us with a few Fun Factoids.
