The latest Michael Jordan tennis shoes sure do look fly, and that's probably why they help basketyballers fly too.

Fantastic word game

Fly too far and you might get lost.
DoL notes: Previous usage of "fly too" should have had a comma. Not sure whether "basketyballers" is a typo or a stab at baby talk, so no correction on that right now.

Lost episodes of many old TV shows are sometimes aired late at night on cable TV.
Cable TV is something my parents waiting to get until after I went away to college.

After I went to college, I had enough education accrued to know that "basketyballers" is not a word, and therefore, should be disqualified from game usage.
What in the blue blazes, DoL (LC, as I prefer)? We look to you for the guidance, for the unwavering linguistic leadership. I don't want to say it, and you probably don't want to admit it, but...you're becoming a bit of a softy. Aww...😇
Dave, you missed a word. I'll defer to the Director, as it's his duty, to which word that is.

The last several pages have provided many clues, but no Game Czar.
I eschew commas when not necessary, but the Oxford Comma is always helpful, beneficial, and a nice way to set off things that can often get conflated, unfairly combined, or confused.
"Basketyball" is out there. It has been used in a few press conferences and media days, in addition to the occasional typo and whatnot. I am pretty sure legendary basketball (for the purists) coach Roy Williams, for one, used it more than once.

No Game Czar worth his throne would ever condone, or even be able to decipher, Stuart's submission two posts previous.
Cerebral Heel deftly avoids confrontation by shifting criticism to another poster's entry.

Previous posts in this forum, along with the comments, tell us that things are getting verrrrry intersting!
Cheech and Chong once did a song called "Basketball Jones." It was a parody of "Love Jones." Anyway, maybe they could re-record it as "Basketyball Jones."

Things are getting verrrrry interesting in a lot of areas, including the FWG, but now it's time for another distractatory mention of Taylor Swift on what I hear is her birthday.
And yeah, sometimes I just make up words too. lol

Her birthday is such a singularly special day that Swifties will attempt to alter the dates on their birth certificates to duplicate it.
Duplicate it if you wish but her birthday is not something we will recognize at band camp because we've all had about enough of her this year.
Stuart, what do you mean I haven't been around for several pages??? I am on the previous page at Contribution #45,655. Pay attention, man, pay attention. I said then and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it! Oh wait, that was Ferris Bueller.

This year is almost over, which means it's again time for those always popular best-of and worst-of lists.
Should we all send our best and worst of TFWG lists to WMC for judging?

Denny's sponsorship of the mechanical bull has upset our distinguished Director of Linguistics (Linguistics Czar, as I prefer) so much that he has taken it upon himself to become an IHOP man.
Heck for, Director. I'll ride shotgun with you on that. Looooove me a Rooty Tooty Fresh N' Fruity.

An IHOP man never seems to get tired of pancakes, or as they are known in some places around the country, griddle cakes.
Griddle cakes, toast, bacon and scrambled eggs make up an unhealthy but delicious breakfast.

An unhealthy but delicious breakfast includes a side of grits, homemade biscuits and sausage gravy, and a good, old-fashioned chicken fried steak.
It'd likely include a comma between unhealthy and but, too. Geez, Ed. Are you just trying to overwork my distinguished associate (and part-time tag team partner) from the great State of Vermont?

A good, old-fashioned chicken fried steak would be a meal fit for a Vermonter if only it were slathered in maple syrup.

Maple syrup, slathered on a chicken fried steak, would be the last thing our beloved Director of Linguistics (Linguistics Czar, as I prefer) would do, in the land of the Lone Star, before being hogtied, thrown into an open boxcar door, and run out of the State on a rail.
That's just plain sacrilege, sir. I don't know what to think of you anymore. 🤯
