Fantastic word game

Hunt for lint in the carpet and you may, or may not find what you are looking for, but hunt for the latest gaffe (located above in WMC's post) and you can be assured to find that Mr. Ed made no such usage of the word "by".

Looks like Mr. Ed isn't be the only sneaky scoundrel around these parts. Huh, WMC? The heifer glares in your general direction, hombre. You didn't really think that kinda tomfoolery was gonna fly under the redneck radar unchecked, did you?

KAYLA! Up and at 'em, girl! You've got some demerit filing to do before breakfast.
 
"By the way! No joke! Folks!" my sleepy intern sputtered, sounding like Dana Carvey imitating the president in her early morning confusion.

She's not a morning person at all, and being awakened this early often disorients her. I even had to remind her she wasn't in Tyler -- or Washington, D.C., for that matter.
 
Confusion reigns in my neck of the woods as I wonder where and how that 'by' made its way into my beginning clue.

While I was typing my contribution, the game's popup appeared telling me someone else had posted so I had to delete and come up with something else. But I dunno how that 'by' snuck in there. It was there and wanted to be used. I accept all demerits.
 
My beginning clue, as well as the rest of my latest contribution, is dedicated to a virtual handshake and an apology to Mister Ed, as I previously called him a Yankee scoundrel and that just ain't right.

After a lil' pecking around, Henrietta (the know-it-all hen) has left a beak-scribbled message on my desk informing me of my ignorance. His neck of the woods actually lies within DeSantisland, come to find out. Tampa-ish, from what I've been told. Our mistake, Mr. Ed, but that only gives you half a pass for the ugly shot you took at Connie's fellow heifers. You may be a Southern boy, but you got a' ways to go in fulfilling your destiny of being a full-tilt redneck, partner.
 
That just ain't right, but you can rest assured that it is something that we will fix.

My original post did in fact read "... by some sneaky scoundrel." I didn't like that as a beginning clue, so I made the edit a couple of minutes later. I double checked to make sure I got the edit in before someone else made a post, and seeing nothing after my edit, I went ahead and saved it. I double-checked, and still seeing no posts after mine, I left it. It's ironic that this whole thing happened with a post talking about that very issue!
 
We will fix your little red wagon for you, if you ever let it happen again.

Just so you know. ☠️

WMC, sorry for the wayward buckshot in your hind end, hombre. For once, it ain't you gaffin'.
 
Funny business, around these here FWG parts, is usually confined solely to the boudoir of the Pretty Blonde Intern and Linguistics Czar, or while one of us is flyin' high from being under the influence of CT's ever-popular gummy line.

I guess we're simply expanding the funniness to include Mr. Ed's vanishing words, too.
 
Maple syrup flows aplenty on those early Sunday mornings when kenny is flipping those pancakes to perfection at Denny's.

A-HA!!! So there was a 'by' in Ed's original ending clue. I KNEW I had seen a 'by' there somewhere. That contribution of Ed's is timestamped just 9 minutes before mine so that's plenty of time for something wacky to happen as has happened many times before. But I'll hang on to the demerits to account for some other miscue down the line.
 
Flipping those pancakes to perfection at Denny's would require them to bring back the unlimited option.

All-you-can-eat pancakes were a mighty fine idea. Maybe y'all suit n' ties in the PowerWorld structure could persuade kenny to bring those back to the menu at tomorrow's early morning rendezvous (EMR, as one redneck prefers).
 
Go afterwards, WMC, because nothing gets the appetite of this redneck into gear like cleaning up puke from inside the bartender's sink.

I mean, doggone. Who wouldn't want to chow down on some greasy sausage and lightly fried eggs after that?
 
Convey your message clearly and without grammatical errors, so that you don't receive demerits from the Director Of Liguistics (DoL as some prefer.)
 
'Demerits from the Director Of Liguistics (DoL as some prefer.)' is a clue that will definitely bring demerits to Ed because he put the period inside the parentheses rather than outside them at the end of the sentence.

I believe it was dmargalotti who did the same thing just a few days ago and received demerits for that. I guess people just don't pay attention to what goes on here. Also, if you are going to capitalize 'Of' in 'Director Of Linguistics', then the 'O' should be capitalized in 'DOL'. CT will have a field day with this one.

Happy Sunday and great to see everyone last night at the new Illusions and early this morning at Denny's.
 
The end of the sentence always receives special scrutiny here in the Linguistics Department, for the reason mentioned above.

Demerits on the way to the guilty parties via U.S. Mail. I'm doing this so as not to spoil anyone's Christmas or Hanukkah with bad news. I figure delivery will happen in mid-January at the earliest.
 
Above my contribution, CT has made his first contribution of the day now that he has awakened from his mid-morning nap.
