Fantastic word game

Andy Pettitte threw some heat over the plate in front o' us Texans, too, although he chose to work his magic, not with my beloved Rangers, but, instead, with the Astros down in H-town.

Y'know, in the pre tub thumpin' era o' the 'Stros.
 
"Houston, we have a problem" was all the local PowerWorld band camp had to say for dmargalotti to make his way down there, get his feet on the ground, analyze the situation, and propose a solution.
 
Propose a solution to WWE's present-day creative conundrum, and you may soon find yourself booking the show.

Haven't gotten dressed, yet, so no hat. Apologies to one and all if you find this latest ranch correspondence difficult to read or understand. We haven't had a wrestling-centric submission in quite awhile. I have, now, remedied that.

You are most welcome. 😁
 
Booking the Show Me State vacation getaway I'm planning for next summer was challenging for my travel agent, who tells me he hardly ever gets asked to book summer vacations in Missouri.

He finally came up with a country concert in Branson and six days in an air conditioned hotel room in St. Louis, watching baseball on TV as the Cardinals' fans in Busch Stadium swelter.
 
Missouri Pacific locomotives once featured a very specialized color scheme called Jenks blue.

I didn't know you were a Redbirds fan, CT. I might follow their games more closely if they'd just switch the corporate sponsorship to Miller Lite.
 
Red socks (Sox, as they and all intelligent baseball fans prefer) are what my favorite team wears, not red everything else except the bat those St. Louis birds are clutching on their team's uniform.

I said I'd be watching baseball. I didn't say which team. And I'd be doing so -- watching the Red Sox on TV, that is -- in air conditioned comfort, while those Cardinals fans drink watered-down, so-called beer and risk heatstroke at the ballpark just a few minutes away. Better beer and food at the hotel, too.
 
Uniform that I find to be most appealing comes from San Antonio's XFL/UFL team, the Brahmas.

It takes a special kind of athlete to pull off yellow.
 
The Brahmas will have to do their thing without me because I've never heard of them.

But I have heard of the weekend and it's here which means it's time to unwind and relax. It also means it's time for a Halloween-themed edition of the 80s Rockfest tomorrow night at the new Illusions. Plan to hear a lot of the Monster Mash and any other Halloween-themed music you can think of. The Denny's-sponsored, permanently-guarded mechanical bull will be in full costume mode and we hope you will be too. Join us early Sunday morning for some great grub at Denny's. Have a great weekend!!

 
"Buck! Buck! Buuuccck!" said the chicken before it got its head chopped off.

Edit to add: CT's improper use of the previous clue made him say "I've never heard of them Brahmas," which is incorrect use of the English language. He should have said "those Brahmas" but he couldn't, because that would be changing the clue. But he repeated the same grammatical error a few words later. He should issue himself a demerit or two. Or three.

Before it got its head chopped off, the chicken crossed the road to see if the grass was any greener on the other side.
 
"On the other side of town, a boy is waiting," sang the Eagles on "Lyin' Eyes," one of their many '70s hits.

No demerits for them "thems," Ed. I happen to have been gifted a genu-wine 10-gallon Resistol redneck hat by rcm, which allows me to slip into hayseed usage and grammar whenever I dern well please.
 
'70s hits used to be sold by companies like K-Tel Records.

Where in the official TFWG rulebook does it say anything about a hat? And, you added the word "on" (which was not bolded) to the beginning clue. So you still get the demerits.

More Edit-to-Add: Assuming that the official Supreme Court of The Fantastic Word Game (SCOTFWG as we all prefer) OK's the use of the hat, then it will be necessary to set up a procedure to make sure that you are in fact, using a genuine and not a counterfeit hat. Kind of like a customs inspector.

K-Tel Records, I most certainly hope, has a copy of Paul Kandel's "Topsy Turvy" lying around for me to purchase, because with CT wearing the hat and Ed now passing out demerits like candy, I feel like my redneck world has been turned on its ear.

Gosh. I walk out of the house without the Stetson one day, and all hell breaks loose. Where's the Padre? Holy water urgently needed. Stat.

Hey, Ed. Look up (in that official rulebook of yours) whether or not chickens crossing roads should be coming by way of the cozy, plush, former Game Czar's office. Sounds like a bit of critter talk from this vantage point.
 
Turned on its ear, the game (because it has a mind of its own) was wondering what happened in the interweb spectrum with storylines becoming all discombobulated and stuff.

rosecity, I only mentioned chickens because that's what was mentioned in the previous contribution. Never fear, there is no permanent critter talk from me, that's for sure. And I was not in my cozy, plush former Game Czar corner office at the time. This time.
 
Storylines becoming all discombobulated and stuff have been known to cause cranial explosions in certain parts of the country.

I don't know anything about chickens going near any (former) Game Czar's plush corner office, but I do know what fate awaits those chickens that either get their heads chopped off, or fail to reach their destination while attempting to cross the (very busy) road.
 
In certain parts of the country and the world at large, cranial explosions are deemed god-like in which case I am in a good place with a majority of the human population.
 
A majority of the human population is unaware of Fantastic Word Game's mere existence, and these ill-informed individuals are the lesser for it.
