Fantastic word game

Standards and practices at the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as everyone including heifers knows) require one sentence and one sentence only beginning with the bolded ending clue from the previous contribution.

Good to see dmargalotti providing his Early Morning Contribution just a few minutes ago.
 
The bolded ending clue from the previous contribution can, sometimes, be rather difficult to start a new contribution from, and in several instances, lack the necessary pizzazz of something witty and whimsical.
 
Something witty and whimsical, but without any grammatical errors, and which contains references to young library interns, bandcamp, PowerWorld LLC, the mechanical bull and rogue dairy cows, is the ideal contribution to The Fantastic Word Game (better known as TFWG.)
 
Marbles are not something you'd want scattered across the floor, late at night, when all you're trying to do is make your way to the can.

Good call, Padre. Please keep your period in check, Mister Ed, and don't be goin' around callin' my sweet Connie dishonest, you cotton-picking Yankee scoundrel.
 
The can can also be referred to as the head, the loo (if you're in England,) the s@#*house, and even the throne room.

Notice my ingenious use of the word "can" twice back to back. And Mr. RCM, sir, I made no reference to your particular cow being dishonest. I mentioned rogue dairy cows in the plural, as there are many rogue dairy cows, one of which may or may not be yours.
 
The throne room was an early description of my cozy and plush Game Czar corner office back in the day but no one really liked it, especially me, so it became known as my cozy and plush Game Czar corner office which I just mentioned earlier in this contribution.

dmargalotti, that period issue in Post #49,203 doesn't affect my brain to the point of splatter. It might affect CT's brain to the point of splatter, though. Let's hope he shows up soon so we can watch.
 
In this contribution I'll just keep it short and sweet.

The world must be coming to an end.
 
Short and sweet, or long and wordy, is fine with me just as long as you remember to bold your beginning and ending clues.

Good morning and Happy Friday to one and all.
 
Mr. Dick Van Dyke would be surprised to learn that on his 99th birthday, he is the latest celebrity to be featured in a TFWG clue.
 
To be featured in a TFWG clue, it helps to have two legs and be petite and blonde or to have four legs, be black and white and give milk.

It was I, not Ed, who accused that cow of dealing from a crooked deck during those poker nights in the barn. And I have no reason to doubt the word of my intern on that.
 
The rest of the world has no idea what we are talking about and, dare I say, sometimes neither do we.

You sure did, compadre, but you also loaned us the Petite Blonde Intern for a spell. As a result of your kindness (and not trying to sully your dastardly heel reputation by mentioning that) you get a pass on calling us out on our suspect poker deck. Ed, on the other hand, has provided nobody with magic fingers, be it Petite or otherwise. Life may not be fair, but by golly, you can always expect us to remember those who've previously been good to either of us.
 
We are expecting the Game Czar to pop in any moment now with his usual invitation to our regular Saturday Night shenanigans at Illusions, but until that happens, we will continue to mention other interesting and offbeat topics like the Wankel Rotary Engine (WRE as most prefer).
 
The Wankel Rotary Engine (WRE as most prefer) suffered from many substantial issues that included poor fuel efficiency and emissions, high oil use by design, poor combustion chamber sealing, problematic of no starts, and low engine torque.

Hate to cast a dark cloud over your subject material, Padre, but the redneck had to go and employ The Google, and boy howdy... I'll gladly take a set of pistons in my John Deere's motor any ol' day.
 
Minutes, even seconds, count when you are posting to The Fantastic Word Game, (TFWG as some prefer) because you could have a master post typed out and you could lose by mere milliseconds to some sneaky rascal.

...and you would have to start over with a post that just wouldn't be as good...
 
By some sneaky rascal, in this case Ed, I was beaten to the punch using 'minutes' as my beginning clue so I had to quickly delete and come up with something else.

Too bad, too, because it was something to read and even something-er to look at. Such a shame. Ed, by the way, the official name of the game is Fantastic Word Game, not The Fantastic Word Game. But I much prefer TFWG anyway. And, as I mention in my world-famous Welcome speech, FWG, TFWG, tFWG, and the FWG are all considered intellectual property of PowerWorld LLC.

But, hey, we'll get past that and move on because it's Friday, the weekend is here, we are still kind of hung over from celebrating The Big 18, and it's high time to hit the new Illusions tomorrow night for a Christmas-themed 80s Rockfest. Dave, kenny, myself, and some lovely young library elves will play the best in 80s rock plus your requests plus some holiday tunes. Join us in person where you can wrestle (or rassle, as rosecity might prefer) with the Denny's-sponsored and permanently-guarded mechanical bull or join us via the huge PowerWorld livestream. See ya there and have a great weekend!!!
