When his favourite teams were in the play-offs, did their logos. For New Year's though, he always did the same thing: he shaved his face and head bald to give them a rest and slather them in lotion until his skin healed. His friends knew the occasions, just by looking at The Kallender!

Pronunciation: wiss-con-sin-ners

Sentence: In one particular state, men who were convicted of a crime and sent to the state penitentiary were made to shave their heads but grow their whiskers long to show that they were convicts. They were known as the Whiscons because of their distinctive beards and attire. Once day a Franciscan friar who was quite a gifted preacher came to convert the convicts. He was so persuasive that the entire jail repented of their sins and were baptized. They all shaved their beards into the form of a cross to show that they were "Whisconsinners" and spent the rest of their sentences doing fasting, penance and good works. The men who were sentenced to life with no parole began a Priory at the jail where they specialized in making delicious cheeses, jellies and license plates. They were called the Little Brothers of the Whiscon Cross which was eventually shortened to "Whiskers." The unfortunate brothers who were on death row were called Fryers.

Etymology: whiskers: facial hair + con: person imprisoned for a crime + sinner: one who commits a sin

Pronunciation: PRIM-Pil-geyt

Sentence: Cincinnati: the city of curly hair; pilosophy: only 59% original; fuzznick, scores of google-hits there, too; hairmony, - not a bad word, but does it fit the definition? What about a platterpilar: might be a bit of a bad hair day when "she" turns into a butterfly. Think I'll have to settle for primpilgate: it's about the best, and most original, I can come up with. Phew, it's been a tough week verbotomising.

Etymology: Blend of PRINK: preen, prettify, prink; PILOSE: hair, hairy and PROMULGATE: make publicly known"
