Verbotoweek: Rikboyee gets a Science Fiction Verbotomy

It was a nail bitter, but rikboyee surged in the final minutes of the race to take the prize for this week — an autographed copy of Robert J. Sawyer’s newest novel Rollback. Cool! And he did it with coolest words of the week like unsuitorble and liet to popcult. And this is Rikboyee’s second big win! Last time was when we offered up a copy of the Kurt Vonnegut novel Cat;s Cradle. Coincidence? We think not. Obviously Rikboyee is motivated by great writers. Congratulations!

“I can smell something burning, Sar’major Davis, you really must desist from spreading your wedding tackle with coconut oil and sunbaking. You’ll come to a nasty end! and it sets a worrisome example for the young uns.” Just then Grandpa came to muttering about pineapples at twice the speed of light, being relatively generally unified and not supporting string theory at all. “Eureka” he announced to the assembly who were still clutching their guts and trying to avoid slipping in what they had just voided. “Kate you must not marry this progenitorturer, until he returns triumphant from a quest. He must prove himself worthy by …”

His campaign was based on a platform of clarety of purpose and he won over the the members when he sangria non by Fleetwood Mac. He rosé to the occasion and showed his sparkling wit.

Verbotoweek: Jabberwocky’s Garden of Verbal Delights

Jabberwocky verbgabbles her way to this week’s Cup

Another strong week for Jabberwocky who looked for paradrice in a Bulk Barn Store, commited adultergate which caused her friends to emobilize her. With a possible case of woebegonorrhea she didn’t want to get invoved in another threedundancy situation. Congratulations Jabberwocky!!!

Verbotoweek In Review:
It never ceases to wonderstruck me the daily creativity of our Verbotomists. Monday’s euphoria indry beans lead to the new states of lentitillation, paradrice and ecstapea. Tuesday, Edna Sky (ask deny) and her age old, old age, young age problem caused fibbage, misagery and embellage when she hyperbolages and manipulages. Wednesday’s returned emails summed up my feelings of being emailaise, emobilized and sendsitive when the damn thing is egloomeranged, enailed, or ebounded. Thursday was a fifth-wheel situation four three two one about and they did with feelings of threedundancy, matecrashering and threesquirming. Emoyions ran high Friday with the killherinstinct of some players to trampire, janger and emoflux before they confloved and woebegonorrhea.

Woebegonorrhea

Created by: Jabberwocky

Etymology: woebegone + gonorrhea

I think VD (Verbotomy Dialogue) is very contagious

rikboyee2007-06-01: 18:48:00
dinner was going well, the potatoes were cooked to perfection.. the meat was tender and the gravy she’d made was delicious.. but the evening went downhill after he tasted Her Peas

petaj2007-06-01: 21:50:00
No doubt someone had been engaging in riceque behaviour and enjoying some lentitillation with the peas.

And Clayton inspired a garden of words

Dysphuriation

Created by: Clayton

Pronunciation: dis-FYOOR-ee-EY-shuhn

Sentence: Gerald could not contain his dysphuriation, which was clearly harder on him than either Janet or Carl, the landscaper.

Etymology: dysphoria + infuriation

Points: 17

Comments: Dysphuriation

purpleartichokes2007-06-01: 08:55:00
Janet was into whoreticulture.

petaj2007-06-01: 09:03:00
Gerald was a mite angry, but Carl probably has a spray for that. Janet declared she was just being environmentally friendly.

purpleartichokes2007-06-01: 09:19:00
Carl was a seedy character, having had affairs with Rose, Daisy, and Lily as well.

Jabberwocky2007-06-01: 12:30:00
sounds like a thHorny problem

Clayton2007-06-01: 13:54:00
Yes, but Gerald rose to the occasion.

Clayton2007-06-01: 14:05:00
Damn, “rose” had already been used. I’ll try again. It wasn’t the first time Janet had been deflowered. Gerald fell into a vegetative state, preventing him from getting to the root of the problem. Tree times was fir too many.

Jabberwocky2007-06-01: 15:35:00
Perhaps Janet felt that Gerald had been spending too much thyme with Rosemary and as he hadn’t been wearing his foxglove he had developed a problem with his peonies

Clayton2007-06-01: 18:35:00
Whereas Janet’s gardenia belt left her feverbush exposed, making Carl’s horse cane extremely gladiola, until his stamen peeked out from under his monkshood and he began pollen on his periwinkle. Fertilization was fine, but there was no possumhaw that he could marigold that witch-hazel and become a poppie, carting the orchids around to daisy care. Some called him a pansy, but many problems stemmed from his disinterest in cultivating a family and branching out. He wished everyone would just leaf him alone so he could smoke weed and listen to the Sex Pistils. Maple it was for the best. He’d rather bee with Jasmine, to chestnut on her pod and turn out the nightshade.

Jabberwocky2007-06-01: 20:10:00
too funny – I’m splitpeaing myself with laughter!!

petaj2007-06-02: 23:34:00

Verbotoweek: May I have a word with you?

Stevenson0 takes the top word and the Cup

Stevenson0 took the top poll position this week with an extremely set of strong verboticisms. We can only hope that these brilliant words reflect his creative ingenuity, rather than his own personal circumstances. Because, if he suffers from constant ruminesia and the occasional bout of dentritis, he is bound to lieandeny any acclaim with a stream of fiduddles. But let’s not get too actstatic, because there is no doubt that he will be thrilled to acquire, a highly coveted, one-of-a-kind, Verbotomy Cup.

Congratulations to rikboyee and Jabberwocky for taking the second and third positions. It was close – very close! And congraulations to everyone for a very creative week. Great words all round!

Verbotoweek In Review:

Monday’s lost thoughts struck a chord with me as I disconthinkcue, ponderror, braindrop, blinkling my way through life and just generally suffer from ruminesia. Tuesday was a farg day, filled with many blugger people who are total blixits. As a result, my language was full of fiduddles, merdededieux, phits and fudgemuffins. Wednesday’s topic was front page news world wide with Tour de France athletes, instead of the usual denyitol, defibulation, prescriptstun, were now decrying their aghrasst, jabbergasted and pharmapologia behaviour. Thursday and Friday’s nightmarish and embarrisshun situations of teeth and peer pressure was a fretend of angush gungfaux perfadiousness of passionvictims with various cases of dentritis, munchgrins, embarrasites, partickles, and evidents.

Our evolving language would be better off with the daily inclusion of any of the above words from our very creative Verbotimists.
