I went through my personal posts in the Word Association Game and realized I'd posted quite a variety of words to continue the game. My challenge for those that have regularly been playing with that thread is to make a story from all of the words you've contributed. My word list is nearly 100 posts and I've started on my story for this thread. What can you come up with? Are you up to the challenge?

As I didn't participate all that much with word contributions, it would not be too much of a challenege for me personally (with the exception of that one short little word I threw in there "antidisestablishmentarianism". I just know that word as a sort of trivia thing, not really sure what it means.
But I know some of you posted a lot there, so good luck... this should get interesting. GlenD

Ok here goes -
Sam Chan had an accident in Hawaii. He was trying to teach Bill, who is from Paris, to wax an oak ornament on the top of a building. He fell off and landed on top of a Ben and Jerry's ice cream truck, causing several flavors of ice cream to spill out into the road. Sam's mom, who had been watching all this, decided to sample the mixed ice cream flavors from the road, remarking, "Variety is the spice of life". She left some change on the truck to pay for the ice cream and walked away happy. It was after seeing this that the members of the neighborhood association decided to impeach her as president. |

The DVD is possibly the greatest invention since Marconi invented the radio. (I think he conceived it while visiting a local Gelateria in his native Italy. ) One night while watching Gladiator on DVD I wondered what would have happened in WWII if they hadn't invented the weapons of war that contributed to that type of horrific gore. Those ancientweapons caused the death of many warriors worldwide long before Monet painted his masterpieces or Sir Isaac Newton was even born. I would imagine the weapons of WWII which put Brothers in Arms in the vacuum of war would be as astounding as magic to those grandfathers of war. This was not magic and no magician was there to produce rabbits from his tophat. I guess we would be just as awestruck if the hourglass of time (or the science of cryogenics) gave us a view of the types of weapons wielded by J&K on MIB (Men in Black). To be put on ice and awakened in the future would really jazz things up. (speaking of jazz, did you know that Leigh Snowden's husband played the accordian? Look it up on the web.) Accordian music is quite popular in the mountains of North Carolina. It's a long way from Salt Lake City, Hong Kong or Broadway but they do know who Snoopy, Bugs Bunny and Tom&Jerry are (three cartoons.) I guess I'm getting off topic like a clown in a double agent spy movie.
The full spectrum of weapons wielded by today's military and even police forces is astounding. They have weapons the size of a Pepsi bottle that would make Alfred the Butler start gambling and would make anchovies nothing more than an oil slick on the river water. Some of the items look as normal as apple pie but could level a house faster than any tornado. "Deja Vu" Here I go getting negative again. That's a long way from the weapons carried by our postal predecessors the Pony Express. It was a pretty dangerous job getting mail from one side of the country, through the corn and green grass to the other in time for Christmas. I'm going to have to change subjects. You can call it a commercial without the subliminal psychobabble you get through television camera today. Those crooks use subliminal advertising to sell you anything from beannie babies to 7-Up (the uncola) to the latest Alfredo Sauce that wouldn't draw flies. The sad part of the whole operation is that they do it all with a teenie eenie smile all the while selling your sister to some wannabe gold digger without a single bit of remorse. When someone like the press confronts them and tries to stop their little party or rock the boat with a boycott, they sit back with their big plate of french fries (which the English call chips) and say profound things like "Huh?" or "No Comment." What has happened to our intelligence? Do they no longer read classics like A Separate Peace in school? These days it's all about applause or play ball and no one wonders why the word synonym doesn't have one. I think it's terrific that they're taught to play drums but learning things like a "compass is a magnet" and "feline means cat" shouldn't come from the Chinese Zodiac placemat at the local restaurant that won't even serve you until your bill is paid in full. Our tummy is full but our minds are melting away. The End WHEW!!!

All my words, in order....
I find this rather strange. You might, too. It's no secret that I am getting a little long in the tooth, but not quite the sunset of my life, ya know. Still have a few extra watts in my wits and a nose for logic. It's not like I'm one of those hillbillies who couldn't see checkmate if it was lit up in neon on Charlott's web! Anyway, a mock-up for a new advertisement comes across my desk with a note that reads, "What do you think? Could use some input. Ty, Apollo." It's for Campbell's soup. Something about getting nostalgic for a dinosaur named "Johnny". What kind of ad was this? Might as well have a picture of Roy Rogers riding a bird, 'cause this wasn't going to sell soup! Just then the lights went out. I cursed that scum Edison for his thieving treachery and threw chocolate sprinkles over my shoulder shouting "Tesla" three times (Hey, we all have our superstitions). If this was another one of Planter's tricks, I thought, well I could play one on him that would make the crusades look like a birthday party. Lights came on, I took a pepto to ease the raining acid in my gut. I dialed an old friend. "Hello, Michelle Pfieffer, please. Blindbo calling. Yes, I'll hold." "Hello, Blindbo!...a-a-chooo!" "Hi, Michelle. What a sneeze! What a cold! Are you taking plenty of fluids?" "Yes, I am. But its terrible. I feel like I've been run over by a herd of cattle!" "I'm sorry, I won't keep you. Just want to ask a favor..." "Anything, Blindbo. Anything at all! Cold or no cold, you know how much I adore you and would do anything for you. Just ask. It would be my only desire to please you!" (Hey, we all have our fantasies, too!) "Ok, there is this man at work who I need to pay back big for a trick he pulled on me. Do you think you could get Lawrence Welk and a bus load of witches to drive my friend down to the boardwalk in Atlantic City and have Donny Osmond kiss him fully on the lips?" "Oh sure...that would be a snap!" |

That pounding sound coming from your computer is just a grammar host somewhere out there in cyberspace, whacking his head against his computer screen. Pay no attention to it, and continue to post as usual.

I think Jon has made a subtle and valid point. I submit that future posts be limited to 5000 words, or less....
