Fantastic word game

The fold in my wallet gives the money within a crease.

Yeah, I'm not so sure I suddenly feel all safe and secure, nor warm and fuzzy. What kind of security can't gain access to the system and loses his own credentials, scanman? I think we need to fling a few demerits in your direction for unacceptable job performance.

...and your boom box is now askew. 🤦‍♂️ Get it together, HOSS.
 
A crease in your money is no excuse for not having extra cash just in case of emergency.

No demerits to scanman for having security issues. After all, quad has rejoined us after several years of security issues with his account. Last night, I was unable to access this site due to server issues or something or other. Crap happens. It's not our fault. Just gotta live with it and move on.

Happy New Year everyone! I look forward to another great year here at the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as everyone knows I prefer). I would like to thank everyone involved: dmargalotti, Miss Silkie, scanman, quad, CT, Stuart, rosecity (even though I'm tired of the wrestling talk), RadioDiscussions.com, the mods and admins who you just know want to play this game once in a while but are too scared :) , and the lovely young library interns. And thanks to myself, of course.

I did some quick digging into the recent archives. The first post of 2023 was made by yours truly (thank you, thank you very much) on Page 2,131 and it was post 42,606. (Looks like rosecity contributed the first post of 2024.) As I write this, we are currently on Page 2,296 and this will be post 45,902. So, roughly, we accomplished 165 pages and 3,296 contributions for 2023. A job well done by everyone. With quad back in the fold (hopefully permanently), and scanman back as well, and the hope that we might pick up a new contributor or two along the way, I would expect that we could leave those numbers in the dust by the end of 2024. Onward we go!
 
In case of emergency, break the glass, but make sure that, before you do, you've finished off the last of the whiskey.

Notes: "Assessed" doesn't need "to." Assessed a demerit, assessed a penalty, assessed a fine are all perfectly grammatical. However, a half-demerit to the returning scanman for "finely-honed," as the AP Stylebook decrees that only adjectives take a hyphen, not adverbs.
 
 Whiskey neat for me, please.

The proper way to start the new year off right. Speaking of which, it's my privilege and honor to have started the ball rolling for 2024, here at the Fantastic Word Game (FWG, as most sane folks prefer), however, WMC has forgotten our poor old pal, Ed. Ed, on behalf of the Ranch, the old lady, Constance, and all the rest...we thank you.
 
Traumatic, indeed, but I simply do not wish to air the dirty laundry of her ongoing misfortunes for the whole world to see.

She's been udderly embarrassed of the whole confounded situation, I'll tell you what.
 
For the whole world to see a cow flub something up is sometimes amusing, and reminds me of the days when water cooler talk was the shows on the three channels on the tv last night, unless you missed them.

I'm just kinda hoping that Constance is a figurative or literal cow, not a veiled reference to something I missed eons back. If it's a relative or some other reference, disregard, and "Allons-y!"
 
You missed them by that much were words spoken by Agent 99 to Agent 86, informing him that he was off by a mile.
 
A mile in the wrong person's boots leads to athlete's foot.

Constance is a living, breathing, non-mechanical bovine, quad. I'd take a picture of her, but she hasn't been feeling up to photography lately. If you'll scroll back in time, you'll see where WMC made a rather unfortunate flub of his own after CT and I were bantering back and forth, and it has been somewhat of a running joke between the Linguistics Czar (as I prefer) and this here rambling redneck.
 
Athlete's foot can be relieved with some good old antifungal cream.

Ed, please accept my humble apologies for forgetting to include your name earlier. I'm still feeling all tingly and stuff with quad's return after years and years. To make up for that, I will make sure that there will be zero demerits issued to you for any linguistical issues over the first month of the year.

quad, it all started with the long time new Illusions mechanical bull mascot available each and every Saturday night during the 80s Rockfest. CT wanted to make it disappear but it's now sponsored by Denny's which is where we all meet after the 80s Rockfest for fantastic grub cooked by kenny. I'm sure you remember kenny. He is here in spirit but, sadly, not in this fake reality we call TFWG. But he still shows up every Saturday night at the new Illusions to spin the tunes with Dave and I. Constance is something created by rosecity.
 
Problem is, some good old antifungal cream may clear up athlete's foot, but I wouldn't recommend using it as a topper on a bowl of mushroom soup.

See that sweet pivot, Director?

I am neither cow nor bull, nor did I stay at a Hoilday Inn Express last night, so it would have been quite a feat for me to create ol' Connie.
 
A bowl of mushroom soup sounds pretty disgusting to me so I'll just snack on some goodies I picked up from Miss Silkie and the interns late last week.
 
The real world is a scary place.

...but, but, I wanna spend a lot of time here!
 
A scary place for dairy cows, as we've recently learned, is western Massachusetts.

Note to Game Czar: RCM boldfaced an extra word in Post 45,912. I recommend four demerits, since he made such a big stink about my last transgression of that sort.
 
Massachusetts is such a miniscule state that Texas would simply walk across it with a cowboy boot and scrape the remains off with a discarded tissue.

Damn. Guilty as charged, LC. I'll give myself 4 of them bad boys for having my head firmly up my ass with that most unfortunate gaffe. Serves me right for the earlier fuss.
 
A discarded tissue will come in handy for rose when he cries after reading the latest bad news from the DoL below.

Read it and weep. It's "minuscule." Three demerits.
 
Below this is the link to "The Grammarly" that says both ways are acceptable.

Minuscule or Miniscule—Which is Correct?

Minuscule means very small. Miniscule is a newer spelling, probably derived from the prefix mini-. Many feel that miniscule…

Ha Ha! Let the tears flow from your own eyes, mister. Rescind those extra demerits, or you n' I are heading down the ramp, kendo sticks in hand.
