Fantastic word game

Classic rock or oldies, depending on how you categorize each of them, plus Sheb Wooley, nets you the 1958 #1 smash-hit The Purple People Eater.

Ho, ho, ho.
 
The Purple People Eater also exists in a Christmas version, under the name Santa And The Purple People Eater.

I have one of the few remaining copies in existence. Not that it's worth anything, but it's fun to play to people who have never heard it. Maybe I'll upload it to YouTube.

@rosecitymedia, sir, you contribution #49,297 does not consist of a complete English-language sentence, which if I understand the rules, merits a demerit or two. I have a few of them accumulated, and will be more than happy to rid myself of them.
 
This Christmas will find several maple-scented demerits in rosecitymedia's stocking, not only for the sentence fragment cited by Ed, but for several non-hyphenation incidents in previous posts.

Kayla will be burning the midnight oil calculating exactly how many.
 
Posts which do not consist of a complete English-language sentence will be flagged by the Director of Linguistics (DoL as most prefer) for inappropriate and unacceptable mangling of the English language.

Please note that there is no hyphen in the phrase "English language" the second time it occurs, although there was in the first occurrence of said phrase. This is because they are different parts of speech. It is correct grammatical usage, so I'm not being inconsistent.
 
Inappropriate and unacceptable mangling of the English language will get you called out in front of the entire group and world to see.

I'm about to do something I never thought I would do. I'm shocking even myself. But I'm going to rescind those demerits assessed to rosecity for that sentence fragment back in Post #49297. Not necessarily because I disagree that it's a sentence fragment although it kinda depends on how you look at it. It could be one of those sentences where the subject is understood while not actually written. Maybe someone can diagram it. But the real reason I am rescinding those particular demerits is because CT had every chance to assess them right then and there because he posted right after rosecity did and did nothing about it until Ed brought it up several contributions later. So no demerits for that contribution. But the other demerits mentioned for not using hyphens still stand. You are welcome, rosecity.

Meanwhile, those issues with the 'dispensing butter' clues and contributions happened because CT and I posted within a minute of each other and the system didn't tell me someone else posted and did not show any new posting. Just something that has happened many times before including over the last few weeks. We move on.
 
Home plate is where I kicked a bunch of dirt toward Mr. Ed for being a stool pigeon.

Just goes to show, Florida may be in the South, but we Texas rednecks sure as shoot don't claim 'em.

Thanks for the pardon, WMC. I believe you and me may just get along right proper, yet.
 
A stool pigeon and a couch potato walked into a bar but I don't remember the rest of the joke.

Get it? Stool? Couch? See what I did there?
 
Before the store closes, it's typical for the proprietor to run a going out of business sale.
 
free milk is great if you've got your own cow like one contributor I know, but the rest of us have to fork over our hard earned Benjamins.

The last time I bought milk at the grocery store, the young lady working the registered asked, "would you like your milk in a bag"? I replied, "no, it might leak. Better to just keep it in the carton". I wish you could have seen the look of confusion and annoyance on her face!
 
Our hard earned Benjamins (or hard-earned, as you'll soon find out that the Linguistics Czar and his, apparently, self-appointed assistant to the PBI prefer) are not nearly as difficult to give away.

Oh dear, Padre... weren't you watching, just this morning, as I got slapped upside the dome with a stack of them there demerits over the very same lack of hyphenation in my, otherwise, flawlessly executed, backwood rants and raves?

Kayla is gonna have a sure fire, well-defined set of calves after all this running back n' forth to the cabinet that holds each of our player files, you'd better believe.
 
To give away the store does not require any ingenuity, just as originality is not a necessity to install locks.
 
A necessity to install locks isn't something I would say applies to me or the intern, as anyone is free to drop by our cozy northern New England abode any time of day for a chat, a snack or a couple of gummies.

All caught up on the demerits, thanks to the PBI. 12 in total, to three offenders. Check your mailboxes to see if you're a recipient.
 
Gummies, when they are referred to as such, usually contain something rather unusual.

I will gladly share my accumulated demerits with the aforementioned three offenders. :LOL:
