Fantastic word game

[Ed Nielson]

With this contribution (#54,081), I begin a new page (#2,705) and a brand spanking new chapter in TFWG history.

A brand spanking new chapter in TFWG history has begun, but let it be known that around here, we do not take kindly to any snollygosters.

 

[CTListener]

Any snollygosters who dare bring their slithy toves around these parts this brillig to gyre and gimble in the wabe need to beware of the frumious bandersnatch.

 

[Ed Nielson]

The frumious bandersnatch rambled on and on about the mimsy borogoves.

The borogoves (whatever they are) have indeed been rather mimsy lately, but you know how borogoves are. Sometimes they get mimsy.

My next contribution will hopefully be in English.

 

[CTListener]

The mimsy borogoves, the bandersnatch and the snollygosters (whatever they are) were last seen with Little Jackie Paper in the Land of Honalee, enjoying a nice long toke with Puff.

 

[dmargalotti]

Puff pastry is a light, flaky laminated dough made by folding butter into dough multiple times, creating many thin layers.

 

[WMC2006]

Thin layers of whatever you people are smoking should be set aside for the professionals.

Good God, for a second, I thought the hayseed had returned. I'm not sure even he could have made sense of whatever you people said. It was funny, though.

 

[Ed Nielson]

The professionals – for that is what they call themselves – held a secret meeting in which they strategized not only about the borogoves, snollygosters and frumious bandersnatches (how do you deal with these things when you don't even know what they are?), but more importantly, they decided that every post contribution would be an attempt at making the biggest, baddest, boldest and best contribution ever posted on the thread known as The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as we all prefer).

There. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. 😁

 

[WMC2006]

The biggest, baddest, boldest and best contribution ever posted on the thread known as The Fantastic Word Game (TFWG as we all prefer) will be one which stops the interweb in its tracks.

Tracks of My Tears, originally a hit for the Miracles, surged up the pop charts a decade later, courtesy of the lovely Linda Ronstadt (TLLR, as I've always preferred over TLONJ, who I always thought was overrated).

 

[dmargalotti]

Overrated and untalented celebrities usually need to resort to outrageous antics to keep their names in front of the public.

 

[CTListener]

In front of the public restrooms at the Buc-ee's in Tyler, Texas, as well as in the post office, you'll find posters reading "MISSING" and bearing pictures of a hayseed and a dairy cow, along with a reward offered by the PowerWorld Board of Governors for their swift return to this and other games.

Games here on the beach in sunny Florida might take a brief break as temperatures are expected to soar into the mid 90s.

Stay hydrated and take it easy.

CT, I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say, that you would besmirch, BESMIRCH I tell you, the wonderful memory of our very own The Late and Lovely Olivia Newton-John (TLLON-J as we prefer). A pox and a million demerits on your head!

The mid-90s saw the rise of Grunge.

 

[dmargalotti]

Grunge was basically music for people who didn't like to shower daily.

Smells Like Teen Spirit? Yeah, it ain't the "spirit" that you're smelling!

 

[Ed Nielson]

People who didn't like to shower daily numbered around 300,000 back in 1969 when they gathered at the Woodstock Music Festival.

 

[dmargalotti]

The Woodstock Music Festival was attended by about 300,000 people but there are somehow millions who said they were there.

 

[CTListener]

Millions who said they were there in 1969 were really at Woodstock '94, but their memories are shot due to dropping too much acid.

 

[WMC2006]

Acid reflux is an issue which can be controlled with over-the-counter medication.

 

[Ed Nielson]

Over-the-counter medication advice according to Harry Nilsson is to put the lime in the coconut.
