Now, Greenback, please tae pass th'torch on tae someone else. (Wallace will wait fer Tuxon's response before Wallace gies oot his 10 sun tracks.) |

Anyways, Wallace would'uv gien it tae Greenback since ah doan approve o' yer copious use o' dem self-aggrandizin' wee clappy emoticon beasties. ......

Now that th'martinet-moderatoors ha' pigeon'ol'd us tae dis distant corner o' PA , noobody kens aybit dis threid. Wallace would ha' preferr'd tae callit oot SPERCIFIC members , but now tha noobody kens whare dis threid ha' dissapear'd, ah guess its baist it juist becum a random themeathon threid tha' anyboody can git in on.

I think to mention a specific person to answer the post, would limit the responses, and the game would stagnate.
The game is fun enough to play at random.
I will return shortly with the Feline subject.
sorry it took me so long, had to go away in a hurry yesterday. I see it's already been done, but I'll give a shrt list nonetheless.
Delilah - Queen
barely 10, and hardly progressive

Spakin o' LOTR:
Gimli be a dwarf, right? An' Gimli noo likit dem goblins, coorect? Sae then dwarf noo equals goblin, right? Wrang. Onna GNOME deal th' Prince o' Eagles were aybit tae contest yer Glass Hammer "Dwarf and Orc" soobmissioon. Aye -"orc" be clean oot o' th'equatioon, but on coontsultin' me 500 page Thomas Kneightley buik, "Gnomes, Elves and Other Little People", it turns oot tha' gnomes, dwarves an'goblins be o' th'same fambly o' bein's 'avin' th'earth as hir element. Bye th' bye, t'was th'awld bacardi Paracelsus coin'd term "gnomus". Weel, wha dis awl be sayin' is tha Glass Hammer is arkcepter'd -an' ah'm now feelin' even mair cornshidderabool LOWER den a snake's arris. BUT HAD WALLACE HAD FOREKNOWLEDGE TH' DWARF COULDAE BIN USED INNA GNOME GAME, AH WOULDAE KNOBBL'D YEW LAME, TUXON. Ach, th' song titles ah couldb list arf onna theme o' "dwarf" would stamyghaster yew summat silly. But, bein' a gentlemon, ah willna say noo mair. |
