Rikboyee Wins!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to rikboyee<\/a> for winning this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Verbotomy, played in tribute to Kurt Vonnegut. It is also fittingly coincidyll<\/a> that Stevenson0<\/a>, (Sony Stevenson was a character in \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Sirens of Titan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and also featured in some Vonnegut TV spinoffs) should do so well. and Jabberwocky<\/a> true to it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nonsensical namesake set a fast pace early in the week with a wicked placeebull<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Without the benefib<\/a> of a lullalie<\/a>, this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s words were a taopestry<\/a> of meshergy<\/a> and kismesh<\/a>. While the fishtorians<\/a> in the group may have a different pointofviewtopia<\/a> and perhaps be jealeash<\/a> of the erosponge<\/a> reference, for the slaveheart<\/a>, it was the paradaxiom<\/a> antidoter<\/a> for the anecdontalist<\/a>\/anecdadalist<\/a> in all of us. As the tangentvangelist<\/a> once said to his domimator<\/a>, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just a diggdang<\/a> of chickenpoup<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. So let us all be cheerfullofit<\/a> and toast the master who holds the key to finding the chronosynclastic infundibulum<\/a> (Kurt Vonnegut) and keep those caterpillaries<\/a> charged for the next Verbotomy challenge. As Sony Stevenson once said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sometimes the obvious is obviously obvious.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

    Which inspired some dangerously creative conversations…<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Playdohheart<\/a> verbacious creativity had a host Verbotomy Writers keyboarding a full tilt with this sentence for anecdadalist<\/a>…<\/p>\n

    “When I was younger I only had one pair of pants. They were purple plaid flares and all the other kids made fun of me. And when you bring up the subject of pants, I think of that and then I get all worried that I’m still just the kid with the proverbial purple plaid flares and you’re such an angel of miraculous beauty. I’m going to go lay down now because I’m upset. I don’t think I can go out to dinner tonight until I feel validated as a man again… you know… sexually.” She sighed, realizing she should have known better than to ask Jim, the master anecdadalist, if she looked fat in these pants.<\/p>\n

    \nFantastic sentence! Can’t wait til the book comes out!<\/p>\n

    Jabberwocky<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-18: 08:54:00<\/em>
    \nyou get my vote for a great story<\/p>\n

    Bulletchewer<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-18: 13:03:00<\/em>
    \nJust realised that your name could’ve worked for yesterday’s definition. I’ve seen murderers with shorter sentences, mind.<\/p>\n

    Jabberwocky<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-18: 13:17:00<\/em>
    \nBe careful with your acid-ic comments Bulletchewer. Keep in mind Playdoheart’s heart is made of playdoh<\/p>\n

    playdohheart<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-18: 14:52:00<\/em>
    \nHa, you’re right about the name relating to yesterday! But I think a playdohheart would be the one having his or her life molded by someone like a domimator. I did get a bit carried away by the novel-ty of my sentence(\/paragraph), but it appears I’ll do anything to make the punchline work… the best jokes are dangerous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And Alchemist’s Noodality<\/a> inspired a few well-chosen words…<\/p>\n

    petaj<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-20: 07:55:00<\/em>
    \nIf Jeff was also a good naturist too, then your etymology could include ‘nude’!<\/p>\n

    Alchemist<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-20: 08:51:00<\/em>
    \ndone!<\/p>\n

    wordmeister<\/strong><\/a> – 2007-04-20: 10:27:00<\/em>
    \nWow, creative collaboration! Dan Pink would be proud of your group kayveeisms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And finally, a few clever words that deserve a second look…<\/strong><\/p>\n
