Fantastic word game

[Silkie]

SOS describes the expression of frantic exasperation displayed by the gerbil caught and unable to even squirm in the too small hamster wheel that it appropriated for itself, that wouldn't stop spinning round and round while stale, years old, motionless roadside shaded images were stuck to its lasered eyes as it searched to find a way off the wheel and latch on to get to the nasty old slop and garbage that we left in the corner of its cage.

Slop and garbage that we left in the corner of its cage was eventually cleaned up and tossed into the bin.

 

[quadraphonic]

Tossed into the bin of the past, many memories are not erased but are merely repressed.

 

[dmargalotti]

Repressed memories are sometimes how the brain deals with trauma.

 

[CTListener]

Trauma of the blunt-force variety to the head, occurring repeatedly over several years, can cause concussions and CTE, a malady often seen in retired boxers.

Boxers make great pets although they expire earlier than most dogs. 🐶

 

[dmargalotti]

Most dogs are good judges of character.

 

[Silkie]

Character Matters was started by Tom Selleck and then latched onto by any number of people, as is of those who desperately want to bury the best, and we know the original is always the best.

 

[Stuart]

The best of yourself should always be on display. 🪞

 

[Silkie]

On display cases everywhere are padlocks, but we all know that locks were made to keep honest people honest.

 

[CTListener]

Honest talk about the deal you'll get on a car won't be heard until the salesperson has a talk with the manager.

 

[WMC2006]

The manager of that inferior band camp in the next town dropped by my house to try and sell to me some Girl Scout cookies but in reality he was just looking for TFWG secrets so I told him to get off my lawn.

 

[dmargalotti]

Get off my lawn before the sprinklers come on, unless you want to get wet.

 

[CTListener]

Wet is what we in Northern New England are going to get in a couple of days, as yet another storm in this El Nino winter brings us rain instead of snow.

 

[Deleted member 108832]

Snow in Texas is far more commonly found wrapped up in a plastic baggie than it is sticking to the ground.

Well, it IS. Not that the rambling redneck indulges in the nose candy.

 

[CTListener]

Sticking to the ground game is a conservative football strategy often described as "three yards and a cloud of dust."

 

[Deleted member 108832]

 "Dust your britches" was a threat my grandaddy used to make when I misbehaved as a child, and one that I knew to take seriously.

 

[Stuart]

Seriously, I thought Texans used the name "Grandpappy" when talking about their grandfathers. 🧓

 

[CTListener]

Their grandfathers used to tell them tall tales about Sam Houston and Stephen Austin, the notable Texas politicians, not the wrestlers.

Stone Cold said so.

 

[WMC2006]

Wrestlers or politicians named Stephen Austin are unknown to me but Steve Austin was The Six Million Dollar Man.

A man barely alive. We CAN rebuild him.
