Fantastic word game

In public together, rosecity and I would make quite the pair as he'd be doing all the talking because, given that I can barely understand what he writes, I sure as hell would never understand what the hell he is talking about.

We could become the next Penn and Teller. Without the magic.

rosecity, me interspersing a couple of words in the clue a few submissions ago is the same as you changing 'HR' to 'H.R'.

And, as a reminder, the Denny's-sponsored mechanical bull is guarded 24/7/365 by HOSS scanman's security team plus a few burly guys from PowerWorld Town. All at my own expense. The mechanical bull is not going anywhere.
 
Video evidence exists o' that one fateful night out in the hay barn.

I reckon you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now.

No, there'd be no magic, 'cuz you'd just keep on showin' the same tricks to our audience over, n' over, n' over, n'...well, ev'ryone else gets the point.

H.R. is the correct abbreviation for Human Resources, WMC, last I checked. It passed the grade with the Linguistics wing. Didn't see nothin' in my mailbox postmarked from VT. You might wanna pull the Padre (yer Die-rector o' Early Mornin' Contributions, as you prefer) aside n' have a word with him over his lack o' proper abbreviation methods. Of course, maybe it's just a cost-cuttin' move in the Mayflower-bssed retail world to vanquish periods, altogether. Some retailers even have an entire section dedicated, solely, to do just that. I dunno. There's periods in that par-ticular abbreviation down here, but my world n' yers are like night n' day, partner.

Out in the hay barn is plenty of hay, but no evidence, since the hay involved that night has been cleaned several times since then and the cow is deceased.

HR, with no periods, is the most commonly used abbreviation for Human Resources, but H.R. is also acceptable. No demerits. And play nice, you two.

Deceased heifer or not, the VCR in the barn was, indeed, recording the events of that evening.

I thank you fer the straightenin' out, but I'm gonna have to get some pointers from you, compadre, on how it is you go 'bout cleanin' hay. Cleanin' the stalls by sweepin', sure, but the hay itself?? 🤔

I reckon I ain't ever seen that done.
 
Recording the events of that evening on a VCR instead of current technology must mean that those events took place in the '80s or '90s, not recently, so whatever accusations you are still pursuing after all these years are rendered invalid under the statute of limitations.
 
Limitations in ownership o' the various modern technologies, n' the knowledge o' the pro-prietor on how to properly implement or use 'em, is kinda the whole premise o' The RCM Ranch.

I thought we'd established, long ago, that I'm just a dumb ol' antiquated hayseed from the piney forests o' East Texas.

There's actually 2 VCRs here (one VHS n' one Betamax) a complete closed-circuit system fer deliverin' all o' the substandard taped programmin' to Rosie's Dance Hall n' Saloon, Rose's Hotel, Conference Center n' Wagerin' Window, n' the various outbuildings 'round the property.

Heck for, I still carry a beeper, CT! Feel free to shoot me a 07734 anytime, compadre.
 
The RCM Ranch is proud to bring you this foller-up contribution in an effort to keep movin' things along.
 
Stops in, looks 'round, n' sees that The Padre hasn't been by today.

So, I'll just keep on keepin' on. He must spendin' his day liftin' up a diff'ernt cast o' sinners, instead.
 
The culprit is definitely not The Lovely Olivia, the lovely young library interns, Stuart, Ms. Phyllis, Mr. Allen, Miss Silkie (on sabattical), quadraphonic (also on sabattical), the mechanical bull, or me.
 
Methinks the lady doth protest too much, as Shakespeare once sayeth, and forceth me to write a sentence in ye olde English.

There. That ought to get the attention of the DoL! 🤣🤣🤣
...do I hear heads exploding?

Ye olde English sayeth, or used to sayeth, that changing a clue is against the rules but that's been happening a lot lately (innocent mistakes notwithstanding), including 'methinks' and 'H.R.', so I guesseth that we just aren't bothering with the rules anymore which dramatically alters my world-famous Welcome speech and also does, indeed, make my former Game Czar head ready to explode.

In 5....4....3....

(ellipses in the dialogue don't count)
 
Ready to explode, he began lamenting the fact that The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as some prefer) was going down a slippery slope.

I included the previous clue, which was "me." Where in the rulebook does it say that the next character has to be a space?
 
Going down a slippery slope, I managed to stop myself from falling to remind my friend Ed about my world-famous Welcome To TWFG speech where I always say "begin your contribution using the bolded ending clue from the previous contribution".

I also used to specifically say that a bolded clue cannot be changed in any way. I stopped saying that awhile ago. However, I have said it once or twice this week alone when rosecity changed 'HR' to 'H.R.'. I actually commented on that. That's up above in Post #51321 and rosecity commented on the same issue when I accidentally interspersed a couple of words from his ending clue. That's on the previous page. So, yes, changing 'me' to 'methinks' is, or used to be, a no-no. Maybe nobody cares anymore. Maybe you just don't pay attention to my world-famous Welcome to TFWG speech (which makes me really sad). Could be the beginning of the end. Again.
 
Begin your contribution using the bolded ending clue from the previous contribution, and don't bold it, or any single word in it, partway through, especially if the only (or final) word in the contribution begins with "me," because that would allow a sentence beginning with "Mechanical bull," that device I despise, to gain unneeded legitimacy.

Ed, is there room in the Freezer of Doom (FOD, as I hope we all start preferring) for gray matter? After all, brains of various animals are used as food all over the world, and I can't see a reason you couldn't jam a little Tupperware bowl of czar brain in between the frozen fish sticks and chicken wings.
 
Assumed that I had to follow 'legitimacy' but dmargalotti was mean enough to sneak in a contribution before I finished my own.

I would be honored to have my brain matter included in the fabled Freezer Of Doom (FOD as my brain matter prefers). As I am no longer Game Czar, I have to pay through the pocket to have my brain matter cleaned up. This way, they can come by and get what they want before commencing cleanup in Aisle 5.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Before I finished my own meal, the snarky, hairnet-wearing waitress with the "Florence" name tag affixed to her mousy brown uniform, presumably chosen to help hide all the greasy food stains, handed me the check and said, "Y'all have a nice day".
