I think Aunflin's on vacation - or something - in California this week.......

Felon, that post was damned scary

All that rhyming.....EEEK!!!

Post by **Darb** » Wed Aug 11, 2004 3:30 pm

Ok, I'll try to whip up a post sometime later today, or tomorrow.

Hmmm, who havent I picked on yet ?

Post by **Darb** » Wed Aug 11, 2004 6:40 pm

Ok, I cobbled together a new post after work. Enjoy.

Let's see someone TOP THAT.

Onward, my loyal troops !

Oh my goodness.

Ditto, Herr Field Marshall

/quack, quack.......

Post by **Darb** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 8:54 am

Quack quack indeed

/me wishes he were present when Herr Field Marshal gets sent to the firing squad

I was briefly tempted to try penning a mini St. Crispin's Day kinda speech, ala "Henry V", but I gave up when I noticed I was already pushing 1,500 words. Besides, speeches like that are very tough to write, so I just dotted my i's, crossed my t's, and stuffed in a "... we brave ... we few ..." reference, and called it a night.

Say, I wonder if ECM will notice the "Major Echus" reference.

how /why did the Nonoxyl-9 get inside the duck.

Perhaps Herr Field Marshal's condom broke.

Anyway, I think I'll have to decline the continuity point ... that was a left field kinda post, and the connection to the prior post was nearly non-existent.

/me pauses to pay homage to Ghost's 666th post.

Here's the source idea fragment that's been sitting in my E-Notes since July 22nd:

VB GENRE: Non-sequitur / Military Epigram

Do the combat swimmers schtick searching fallopian tubes for egg targets.

Ex:
"recon platoon reports egg found"
"well dont just sit there flagellating, launch a full assault ! Go find that egg, and pile on !"

Ideas occur to me, and I write em down and save em for later use ... all I did with this one was dig up my reminder and flesh it out

Perhaps Herr Field Marshal's condom broke.

Don't joke about stuff like that, man!

[Genre: Humor; Mad-lib]

It is hilarious so far

I have recieved word lists from Brad and Laurie so far

- I need at least two more assistants to submit their list of words to finish the post.

Anybody, please PM me with all of the following: adjective, adverb, noun, verb, color, part of the body, someoneâ€™s moniker, and a name of a famous song.

Post by **laurie** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 2:40 pm

Me and Brad - teacher's pets or what?

/me waves hand in air: "I know, I know....."

Post by **Darb** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 3:01 pm

Hurry up and post, Ghost .... I've got an "Allegorical Automotive Pileup" to post, in retribution for Felon's earlier "Alliterative Ailiment".

I've gott ah turtle-haid pokin out, an i'm gettin all emoushunal aboot it.

I need another volunteer - I guess I could ask someone at work to give me a word list. I'll post by 2:00.

Post by **Ghost** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 4:34 pm

Kilt stepped up and helped, but I could have used one more assistant. Oh well it is done.

Heheheheh

Good ... good ... I can feel the irreverence growing within you, young jedi. Soon you will take your 3rd cousin once removed by marriage's place at my side. Together, we shall rule The Amateur Alcove.

Ok, if someone will PM me a noun, 2 verbs, and a body part, I'll see if I can somehow stitch my "Allegory a la Mode" post onto the hind end of Ghost's.

Post by **Darb** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 12:05 pm

Ok, posted. Managed to squeeze in the WOTD too.

Boy, those recurring shitzu references are starting to become a running joke

p.s. It's Friday the 13th !

Post by **laurie** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 1:18 pm

Friday the 13th - and you referenced "Psycho" instead......

Very good, Brad! Poor Aunflin's gonna choke when he gets back and reads the latest twist.

Post by **Darb** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 1:21 pm

I used psycho because Hitchcock did it better than any of his imitators.

Post by **Darb** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 1:29 pm

Dunno if anyone noticed, but I managed to squeeze in an insultingly alliterative etymological pun into the middle my allegorical rampage:

"... like a torturer adding insult to injury, he sprinkled the crushed remains of the clove with salt ..."

Post by **Ghost** » Fri Aug 13, 2004 1:31 pm

Brad, that was excellent.
