Fantastic word game

The comics section in your local newspaper feature characters that have never aged in decades including the Peanuts gang and the kids from Family Circus.
 
The Peanuts gang and the kids from Family Circus keep us entertained with full-color comics every Sunday morning.
 
Every Sunday morning, the PowerWorld janitor must clean up the end results o' servin' the more-lightweight folks who patronize the New Illusions' Saturday night 80's Rockfest n' can't be trusted to hold down their alcohol.

It's a thankless job, I reckon. I do believe he gets a discount from ol' Kenny at Denny's fer his pittance.
 
Their alcohol swabs were strewn all over the floor of the new Illusions after being used to disinfect the mechanical bull before removal, a time-consuming but necessary task given the presence on the device of billions of nasty germs.
 
Germs ain't as big o' a concern, out here on the farm, as all the fleas, flys, and ticks.

I reckon they'd dern-near need a flamethrower to disinfect the men's room's floor at the New Illusions 'round 2:15 in the morning, let alone a mess o' ol' alcohol swabs. I know how Rosie's sometimes gets, and that's with just a quaint lil' ol' gatherin' o' rednecks, drinkin' just a few hunnerd gallons o' beer n' red-eye.
 
The fleas, flys, [sic] and ticks
If they do not get you, then
The mosquitos will.

Contribution in haiku is permitted as previously mentioned in this thread.
I expect there will be a spelling-related demerit issued soon.
 
The mosquitos will pounce on you so make sure to use some spray and keep your extremities covered.

Ed, haikus are indeed permitted in honor of our late great friend, Anyacat, who was once our Director of Travel and Tourism Tips. To be sure, she is thanking you profusely while watching over us from the heavens. I thank you for the memories as well.
 
Keep your extremities covered, and your face, too, if you are female and visiting Iran.

Indeed, "flys" should be "flies." Three more fresh-from-the-oven demerits headed to the ranch. I was going to red-flag Ed's "mosquitos," too, but Webster says that, while "mosquitoes" is more common, the no-"e" variant is also OK.
 
Iran used to be named Persia, and Istanbul was Constantinople, back in the good old days.

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople...
And Thank you Webster!
 
Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as I prefer) has seen many contributors come and go but only the best of the best stayed to create some interweb history.
 
The best of the best stayed to create some interweb history, because they knew that someday, decades, even centuries from now, in a galaxy far, far away, future historians would be looking back in awe as they tried to understand how The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as all should prefer) came to be such a world-wide phenomenon.
 
2006 began, as most years begin, with that old "Ring out the old, ring in the new!" spirit, and with the world unaware of what would make this particular year a year like no other.
 
A year like no other was 2007, the first full year of the Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as no one yet called it back then), with approximately 88 pages of contributions over that period.
 
Now you've gone n' done it, Linguistics Czar, n' got some feathers ruffled down this a'way, 'cuz there was most assuredly a ramblin', rambunctious, raucous, ramblin' (x2) n' sometimes ragin' redneck playin' the game, it's just that I hadn't fully developed the character, debuted this par-ticular screen name, gotten completely fed up with WMC's broken record, unleashed the critters, n' got him to shut down the cozy, plush, former-Game Czar office.

It 'twas a long, twistin', turnin' n' windin' dirt road, I'll tell you what.

Reminds me that I need to stop by the teepee n' check on The High Chief. I ain't seen no smoke comin' from his place in quite awhile.

Hey, Mister Ed. What was so special 'bout 2006? I reckon that musta been the year the Freezer o' Doom was purchased n' delivered from the local Sears n' Roebuck dee-partment store.
 
The cozy, plush, former-Game Czar office is in the corner, as most already know but I forgot to mention.

I think I'm slippin' a lil', I'll tell you what.
 
I forgot to mention, rosecity, that Post #51,777, while certainly long and ramblin', is actually two sentences which of course breaks our main rule (one sentence and one sentence only).

First sentence ends at 'redneck playin' the game'. Second begins with 'it's just that'. Had you used a Sinister Semicolon, that might have worked but it's too late now. 17 demerits to your account. CT told me so.
 
Our main rule (one sentence and one sentence only) is right up there with the 10 Commandments when it comes to the really important stuff that matters in this world as well as the next one.
