"Do you think there could be any truth to the rumours that the Emperor was adopted?" asked clong, transparently.

"Why is Clong using the British spelling of "rumors"? asked Laurie, WASPishly.

"I vaguelly recall him admitting it's because of his rose-coloured reading glasses.

Personally, I despise British spelling variants" Brad snarled ... his face reddening with apoplexy.

"You can't blame me for this. It's not my fault. Someone else around here must have tainted my spelling abilities" kvetched clong.

"Prrrrreeeeetttttyyyyy" purred Archbishop Pyrrho Perfidious, as he peered impertinently at the pert pre-pubescent protrubances of a nearby pious penitent ... his pathological predilection for pedophilia plainly apparent to all present patrons of the predominently protestant parish.

No need to get catty, people ... I had a sudden alliterative itch that I just had to scratch.

"Puh-LEEEZ!" parleyed felonius, peckishly.

"Hey, I thought being 'peckish' was a Britishism for having a bad case of the munchies" inquired Brad, hungrily.

clong wrote:"Yes, we still have a resident spelling mistress, although I understand that our Greek woodland deity is no more, " offered clong, with a deadpan expression.

"Greek to me," Kilgore replied in classic fashion.

(clong, yours is one of the funniest lines on this forum. No wonder you are so good at the Haiku book reviews.)

"I love listening to Sousa on the radio!" said clong with abandon.

My favorite is still un-thin-king-ly.

"Isn't the Sousaphone named after Sousa? Anyway, turn off that radio and brush your teeth," said KT, handing clong a tuba toothpaste.

"Are you some kind of anarchist?" asked clong, with an unruly expression.

"You call that a dog? My little flat-nosed beast could tear him apart," said KT pugnaciously.

Post by **clong** » Wed May 24, 2006 8:18 pm

"But can your dog make mixed drinks like my feline companion?" asked clong, catatonically.

Kilgore Trout · Post by **Kilgore Trout** » Wed May 24, 2006 8:37 pm

"That's nothing. My dog is descended from Nipper, the RCA Gramophone dog," said KT victoriously.

"Wow, you must be proud to have a pup with such a distinguished pedigree" admitted clong, ingeniously.

Kilgore Trout · Post by **Kilgore Trout** » Wed May 24, 2006 8:50 pm

"I'm proud as Punch!" replied KT, looking up from his British humour magazine.

"Wasn't that label eventually purchased by EMI?" asked clong, angelically.

Kilgore Trout · Post by **Kilgore Trout** » Thu May 25, 2006 8:21 am

"I thought it was Motown," replied KT soulfully.

"I think I'll just sit back and savor the sudden flurry of spicy exchanges" replied Brad, sage-aciously

Post by **clong** » Thu May 25, 2006 8:52 am

"Were they the ones who released the complete Cantatas?" asked clong with bacchanalian frenzy.

"Hey, I've heard rumors ... isn't that the long awaited lyrical version of 'Rites of Spring', with a picture of nekkid meneads cavorting on the cover ?" inquired Brad, in a frenzied dance of eager anticipation.

Post by **Kvetch** » Thu May 25, 2006 9:36 am

"sorry to disappoint you - it seems to be full of minotaurs" replied Kvetch, bullishly.

Post by **Darb** » Thu May 25, 2006 10:04 am

"Wrong on 2 counts - (1) the cover is definitely meneads rather than minotaurs, and (2) as a vegetarian, it's against your religion to be bullish." replied Brad, counterintuitively.

"That's not a bull; it's a cow," said KT, not at all hornily.

Post by **Darb** » Thu May 25, 2006 11:16 am

"Would having horns imply you've been cuckolded ?" crowed Brad (who was clearly cuckoo from the proximity of so many heady puns).
