Fantastic word game

The cowboys, hayseeds, and rednecks of the south sure know how to have a good time which apparently includes munching down on Mattress Firm Tempurpedic-sponsored corndogs.

The Denny's-sponsored mechanical bull approves. But, geez, you couldn't send some corn dogs up to band camp?

And what's that big round thing on the right side of the first picture? Is that a roller coaster type ride or maybe just the grand entrance to the Fair? I'm guessing it's all lit up and stuff when it gets darker.
 
Munching down on Mattress Firm Tempurpedic-sponsored corndogs, I began to ask myself, is "Mattress Firm Tempurpedic" the name of the sponsor or an actual description of the product?
 
An actual description of the product that I think WMC is looking at, or the ride as it were, was called "The Condor", had 4 arms with 4 (or maybe it was 6) carts hanging from each arm, rose up and dropped down at a pretty intense pace, and spun you 'round n' 'round quickly enough to feel putdy queasy after just downing a turkey leg, a fried Oreo, and a funnel cake.

Sorry 'bout the lack o' a corn dog shipment, WMC, but you are correct. It's lit up brighter than most parts of Tyler itself. Heck, it being surrounded by nothing but woods and a few small businesses that dot the West end of Texas 64, 2 miles west of the city limits, really makes it stick out.

Just wait until the first weekend in October. The Rose City Airfest features vintage warplanes, trick planes, fighter jets, and various other pieces of aviation history. I'll be covering that event, too, and will find a way to incorporate it into the storyline to share some glimpses of the show with y'all.

Hopefully, Lance has fixed whatever is causing the issue with uploading a 45-second video of some ol'-fashioned steer 'rasslin, yet having no problems at all posting a 4 minute De Barge video to accompany my "Short Circuit" contribution.

Edit to add: I stand corrected. Now, I see what WMC is looking at. That is called the "Ring of Fire". It's a coaster-like ride that spins you around the inside of that ring at around 50 mph. It ain't good to eat fair food before hoppin' on that one, neither. 😂

A turkey leg, a fried Oreo, and a funnel cake sound like some mighty good eatin' right about now.

Ed, if you look at the second picture, in the foreground, there is a corn dog stand. And in front of that, or in back of it depending on how you look at things, there is a white tent with the words Mattress Firm on the front of it. To the left of the words Mattress Firm is "Tempurpedic" and to the right is "Purple". So I came up with Mattress Firm Tempurpedic-sponsored corndogs. Very crafty of me, don't you think?
 
Another contribution is in the works from me which leads me to wonder who will have the contribution following this one.
 
"Who will have the contribution following this one?" is a question that will only be answered when someone raises their hand and shouts "I will!"
 
The next one who leaves the toilet seat up, runs the risk of gettin' the all-too-familiar glare, that most men know all-too-well, comin' from yer better half, and, concurrently, faces the near-certainty o' a long night of restless sleep on the couch in the den.
 
"I will!" have a long night of restless sleep on the couch in the den because the next one was submitted by scanman who failed (but in a good way) to notice that Ed's bolded clue was "I will!" (including quotes and exclamation point) rather than I will so there we have it.

So I went back to the future to use the missed correct clue along with the subsequent clues. The current ending clue is simply there we have it.
 
There we have it, folks, n' don't y'all go turnin' a blind eye to it neither, 'cuz y'all have just witnessed a heapin' helpin' o' PowerWorld red tape.

I ain't ever noticed us ever requiring the additional, surroundin' punctuation marks (n' such) to be included in a transfer of clue from one contribution to the next.

If that rule ever existed, then we are both guilty as hell o' similar, repeated infractions. No demerits were wrongly issued to Mister Ed and his cold storage facility, so I reckon we'll just move on n' not dis-turb the boudoir dwellers this soon on a Monday morning.
 
Red tape aside, rosecity, the quotation marks were bolded along with the rest of the clue which, in this case, means the quotation marks were part of the bolded ending clue and must be included in the beginning clue of the next contribution.

If the quotation marks had not been bolded, then it's not part of the ending clue. Very simple. It's not new. It's always been that way.
 
The beginning clue of the next contribution is a simple matter of copy & paste, but after that, you had better do some thinking to come up with a sentence and new ending clue that are worth reading.
 
Reading the, oftentimes, ramblin' rants n' nonsensical tongue o' a certain Stetson-wearin' hayseed from East Texas, requires several o' the other more sane Fantastic Word Game players to have a bottle of aspirin at the ready.

As a stockholder in Bayer, that just makes me plumb giddy, I'll tell you what.
 
A bottle of aspirin at the ready is a good idea, but at my age, I have home Advil and work Advil because there are a lot of things in both places that make my head hurt.
 
Make my head hurt by taking a spin on that roller coaster contraption shown in those Texas County Fair pictures shared by rosecity.

Probably make a few other things on this body hurt too, not just my head, I'll tell you what!

And now that I realize I actually said "I'll tell you what", stay tuned for a possible cranial explosion.
 
Pictures shared by rosecity (that's me) are proudly shared with each n' everyone o' you, and I'd certainly be happy to continue bringin' y'all snapshots from the country.

Well, now. Lookie at WMC. Usin' a redneck sayin' like "I'll tell you what". That was wicked pissah, right there. Kinda made my 10-gallon bang a u-ey, die-rectly on top o' my head.

May none of the carriage wheels, at yer gig, lock up on you this week, former Game Czar.
 
Journalistic excellence has been left unchecked 'round here, lo, these last couple o' days, n' to top it all off, I received a letter from Kayla just yesterday that mentioned he had been summoned over to the community park this last weekend, to help break up a scuffle between a dangling participle and a misplaced modifier.

I sure 'nuff hope he's ok.
