    Song Lyrics  Poetry


Mike Stevens: Cannot believe how anyone views Trump as a 'normal' President, he's not a 'normal' person
    mrsmajor: trump's isn't normal, and I think many people know it...he's cruel, selfish and filled with his own sense of importance...those members of congress that prefer to adore him come from the same mindset... -
    Dean Kuch: HULK SMASH!

    Heh-heh-heh...
    ~Dean -
    Gypsy Blue Rose: You are right, Mike, he is not normal, he is abnormal. I think he only cares about himself and money. I am so afraid he is going to send people back to work too soon and many more people will die. He is stressing me out. -
    Kingsrookviii: LoL. I don't get it at all. He's done well and is attacked constantly. For God's sake, Biden is batshit loonie. -
    Lance S. Loria: It certainly is discouraging how polarized the country has become. We are all Americans. We should all be united as Americans. If we can?t agree on that, than what can we agree on? -


Mike Stevens: I forget to check this very often, I see I've made a few people angry with my anti-Trump comments--one person even let me know I suck--thank you, I would have never known and continued to post my misguided crap--I--err--oh, that's right, I don't give a rip what they think!
    mrsmajor: You're not alone Mike S....but Its not stopping me from speaking my mind...not to hurt anyone, but trump's not someone I could ever respect...and I will let that be known whenever he does something that I find repulsive...nice seeinh you... -
    Sarkems: You don't 'suck', except possibly on a boiled sweet. That's a very childish comment from somebody, and anyway, people are supposed to be reviewing the writing. If they don't agree with the politics of the piece, and can't critique it fairly as a piece of writing, then they shouldn't be commenting. Nor wrote something about that just recently in the reviewing thread. Whoever said this should take a look. -
    His Grayness: When you have pure rotten scumbag democrats to call to shame on every breath they take, why waste your time on Trump who has already done more good for America than any Crat in modern times! Oh! maybe you do agree with sanctuary cities, killing ICE and opening up America to every lowlife criminal south of the border so they can come in and join you in voting for more Crat Corruption??? -
    Gypsy Blue Rose: lol, trumpers are as crazy as Trump is... no worries, you don't suck. -


Mike Stevens: I've come to believe you can't have a rational debate with an irrational person


Mike Stevens: Doesn't the media ever get embarrassed showing Trump crap all fricking day? Surely, the reporters must cringe, 'Another one? You're s*****g me?'
    Mike Stevens: Boy I'm bat-spelling 1000 today-'hide the keyboard, kids, Daddy's been sniffing glue again!' -
    Jannypan (Jan) : They don't tire of it anymore like the multitude of Trump-bashing posts that appear all over this forum everyday. -
    Dean Kuch: With all due respect, ladies, anyone who disrespects another nation by calling it a sh!thole country deserves to be bashed.
    Just sayin'... -


Mike Stevens: Our president may be mentally unstable, but FOOTBALL is here, baby!--what must other countries think of our priorities?
    DR DIP: do you mean grid iron mike?
    In australia football is soccer
    rubgy league is like rugby union
    and we don't officially play grid iron -


Mike Stevens: Is it just me?
    William Walz: Reminds me of the guy who was told he had a split personality and was beside himself. -
    Mike Stevens:
    Adri7enne: ha, good guess, I think I matched two numbers once. The clerk at the store where I bought the ticket didn't buy my 1/3 of the prize money should be mine argument--hey, made sense to me! -
    Mike Stevens: Wa-wa, William, drum roll, can I get a drum roll here, please? -
    pome lover: Mr. Stevens, your short bio says you like comedy writing. I was hoping to find some of it but have found only your dissatisfaction with the President.
    Your latest piece popped up on the "Up Next" to be reviewed and after I read it I went to your portfolio looking for humor.
    I am not going to get into politics, but we, of a different persuasion spent 8 years being heartsick, but still kept our sense of humor, or tried to.
    I hope yours will return. I'd like to read it.
    Pome lover -


Mike Stevens:
pipersfancy: watch who you're calling a perv--oh yeah, guilty as charged!
    Mike Stevens:
    michaelcahill: nothing but the best for these amazing, talented owls! -
    Mike Stevens: Pome Lover--ouch, you really let me have it, it's a good thing I don't give a shit what you say, or care that I hurt your feelings. Otherwise, I'd be feeling pretty bad right now--I don't check this very often, so I realize this is a delayed 'I'm glad you're pissed' -


Mike Stevens:
michaelcahill: keep taking your medication, it's bound to kick in soon!
    Mike Stevens: Do that, but remember; NO operating heavy machinery! -
    DIS-illusioned: Not unless of course you're stoned or drunk out of your noggin. If so, do take that new tractor for a spin down Main Street, waving to the good folk as you whiz by. -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'senslessreasoning'!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'malthoplove'!
    pipersfancy: Pour me a cold one, would 'ya? I love a tall glass of malt and hops... -
    Mike Stevens: When I think of all the money I wasted on TRYING to feel slightly dizzy, and now I get it for free; all the time? I love beer, but I no longer partake; so you'll have to enjoy for the both of us! -
    michaelcahill: This is someone who derives deep romantic attachments to those who play hopscotch while drinking a milkshake. -
    pipersfancy: I can't actually recall the last time I had a beer... playing a intense game of hopscotch while drinking a shake... now that's a whole other story! -
    Kingsland: Definition of Malthoplove
    A milk shake that makes one desire having sex after having drank it...
    Or the best sexual drinks ever devised. Made with chocolate ice cream, with a cherry on top... -
    Mike Stevens:
    michaelcahill: that sounds a lot like a 'sex-shake!' -
    Mike Stevens: Kingsland: yours is the reply I gave to Michael Cahill, and I'll give you the reply I meant for him; nothing says romance like Twister for your feet! -


Mike Stevens: DIS-illusioned: ah, no comment!
    Mike Stevens: michaelcahill: ha, ha, woo; and I apologize! -


Mike Stevens: In honor of Michael C and everything Scottish, today's word is'kiltogram'!
    DIS-illusioned: The standard scientific measure of the closet sissy-ness of all men, especially the Herculean kind--'kiltogram'.
    Last I was weighed, I was over 200 kiltograms. What does that say about me? (Don't you dare answer that!) -
    michaelcahill: That's what they call it in Scotland when a stiff breeze blows one's kilt up in front of one's grandmother. -
    michaelcahill: Michael Patrick O'Cahill
    I'm a worthless potato eating drunken Irishman. You should apologize to Scotsmen everywhere!! -
    pipersfancy: Ya, Mike! What gives? I'm the Scottish one... what's with giving any credit to Mikey over there?!? PIPERSFANCY... HELLO???? (and, this after I posted a nice little poem with a picture proving I actually play the pipes...) Now... excuse me while I go address the hagis, play a lament, and drink scotch. Slaint! -
    pipersfancy: (By the way... you're a wee bit early on the Scottish reference. Robert Burns night is not until the 25th of the month!) -
    Mike Stevens:
    pipersfancy: I responded to your 'Robert Burns Day isn't until...' with something about 'David Frost Day', which makes absolutely no fricking sense. In my slumbering state, I guess I was thinking, 'Robert Frost' . Woo, NOW does it make sense? "Yeah, a little, but it still is lame!" -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'higherlow'!
    DIS-illusioned: The misspelled note the ad agency's manager sent to his assistant after Rob Lowe's audition for the Direct TV commercial--'higherlow' (hire Lowe).
    (If I'm wrong then something is severely wrong with this world.) -
    Mike Stevens: Ha, Dis, nice play on words; and whether you're right or wrong, there's still something wrong with this world! -
    William Walz: I know this one! Higherlow is a condition I often experience when I snort cocaine minutes after taking my anti-anxiety meds! Yes! What a headrush! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm 77, and when I was a teenager my parents took me on a tour of Spahn Ranch--and left me there! Charlie rocks! -
    michaelcahill: That's a dirty Scottish term, "Hig her low!" I don't know what "higging" is, but you know them Scotts, it's something naughty for sure. -
    Mike Stevens: Michael C; I'm sure you're right; those scots; minds in the gutter! -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'elusivedrunkdonkeydance'!

    and backwards too -
    DIS-illusioned: What an over-worked ass does in hiding in the woods on its day off one a year, with fermented liquified oats, to cope with the drudgery of its life--'elusivedrunkdonkeydance'. -
    Mike Stevens: Ann Marie; The Elusive Donkey Dance is my name for when someone gets very drunk and tries not to fall down. I remember exactly when I came up with the name; when my two friends and I were drinking some beer, and one of them said he was spinning and staggered around! -
    ann marie mazz: hi again mike

    my comment was my foolish and bad attempt at poking fun for you are both a riot with this that you post each day and you are an educator as well thus continue to be you and do what you do and with all this said I still say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (ha ha) -
    michaelcahill: A drunk slathered in wesson oil with a key to a new Corvette Stingray tied to his Viagra enhanced wonker being chased by the Over Sixty Car Lover's Club. -
    Mike Stevens:
    ann marie mazz: thank you for saying I'm an educator; maybe on how NOT to teach people anything useful, a sort of anti-educator, if you will! Lol!
    -
    Mike Stevens:
    DIS-illusioned: I've heard of 'drunk off my ass', but an actual drunk ass? Ha! -
    Mike Stevens: Ann Marie; I hope you know I was just kidding about your 'educator' comment; truly, thank you! -
    ann marie mazz: hi and yes of course but now however you have a problem because I have to charge you 25 member dollars for utilizing the word "truly" for I say that over and over (ha ha) -
    Mike Stevens:
    ann marie mazz; so sorry to hone in on your special word; TRULY; eh, ha, ha; wait, too obvious? -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'fundanger'!
    pipersfancy: my dang doppelganger is having more fun than I am... again... Damn Fundanger! -
    michaelcahill: That was the recent failed add campaign for the KKK."Don't stand on the sidelines like a sissy britches. Get involved, FUND ANGER!" -
    Mike Stevens:
    pipersfancy; recreational NUDE sky-diving? -
    Mike Stevens: michaelcahill: not that I'm aware of; of course, I have only personal experience to go by! -
    evilynne: In regard to nude skydiving, the landing could be painful -
    Mike Stevens: evilynne: Maybe, but while you're still airborne, oh, the joy of feeling the wind caress your--err-never mind! -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is "loveavalanchecrushed'!
    Kingsland: Definition...
    Caught in a landslide of discontent... -

    Michaelk: "Honest, I just took your wife out to dinner so she wouldn't be lonely while you were working late." :) -
    Mike Stevens: If you're talking to me Michael C, you're welcome! -
    Mike Stevens: Michael C. Why do I have a sneaking suspicion you WERE'NT talking to me? I'm too tired to know or understand ANYTHING! -
    michaelcahill: I think it wise in retrospect to acknowledge that you were. Ask for the dinner receipt... for tax reasons, of course. -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'clockdust'!
    Kingsland: Definition of clockdust is...
    One who is allergic to time... -

    Mike Stevens: "Malachi Blinder, I'm arresting you for, eh, having a stupid-sounding name!" -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'lookbackinanger'!
    Adri7enne: The main problem in the world today. We drop a glass on a ceramic floor and it goes shattering from one end of the kitchen to the other. We go on with our day, but we "lookbackinanger" and it colors everything else that happens. Ain't life a bitch! LOL! -

    Michaelk: What will happen to me and many millions of people tomorrow night. -


Mike Stevens:
Linda Engel: I was being flippant and I didn't mean most mother-in-laws; it was a rather cheap bid for laughs, you know, the, 'Mother-In-Law' jokes; sorry to include the one's that are great, and it sounds like that includes you!
    Linda Engel: i took no offense I too was smiling knowing I am one of the good ones. Both of my moth-in-laws hated me until the son got a new wife. HA! then i looked like a queen. Did I mention they were Chatholic mothers? Let's not go there. Take Care... -
    Mike Stevens: I'm going to try responding where it says to; it wouldn't work before; let's see how it goes, shall we? That's the old, "be careful what you wish for!" saying coming back to bit them on the ass, isn't it? -


Mike Stevens:
DIS-illusioned: yeah, mother's-in-law can be a BIG reason to avoid marriage; the angel who whispers in my ear used to whisper, "Go on, do it!" back when I was married!
    Linda Engel: I'm a great mother-in-law. Never bother the kids and I love my son-in-law. Blessed to have him loving my daughter and grands. -


Mike Stevens: pipersfancy; yeah, people will buy anything if they think there's a chance that they won't have to actually exercise or diet; "Swallow Slim is the revolutionary one-a-day pill that allows you to lose weight while chomping pizza!* *Or whatever fills your feed bag; allow 2-to 3 days to lose up to 75 pounds; Here is an actual testimonial from satisfied customer Fred D. "I didn't believe it actually worked until after 3 days the neighbor's wife told me, "Wow Fred, you must have really been busting your hump; speaking of..., how about later huh?"


Mike Stevens: William Walz; yeah, Einstein's theories went all to hell after he'd had a few!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'eliptosquare'!
    William Walz: I know this one! Eliptosquare was Einstein's view of the universe after six beers and three shots of whiskey! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only thirteen, and have been attending AA meetings since I was six. -
    pipersfancy: Yes... I saw the tv infomercial on that one... It's the revolutionary new exercise machine where the machine does all the work; circling wildly around in an elliptical pattern (and making all sorts of impressive whirling sounds!) while the person sits in the middle of the contraption on their large, square butt, with a pint of Ben and Jerry's in hand. It looked fabulous! I ordered one! -
    DIS-illusioned: What an angel whispers in your ear at 2am, when you want to sucker your mother-in-law in the mouth--a lip to square = 'eliptosquare'.
    And my mother worries why I'm still not happily married at 60--pff! -


Mike Stevens:
pipersfancy: ha!


Mike Stevens: Shelley; ESPECIALLY late at night!


Mike Stevens:
William Walz: I've given up on the bastard in the mirror; that guy looks familiar, but I can't quite place him; all I know is he's basically a moronic-looking tool!


Mike Stevens:
Kingsland: Paranoia and I are old friends; he comes over just to drink coffee, shoot the breeze, and hang out in my head!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'isanybodythere?'!
    Kingsland: Where, over there, damn paranoia striking in again. Or was it my own reflection I was seeing? Knock, knock, who's there. It's just myself without my underwear... -
    William Walz: I know this one! Isanybodythere? is the question I always ask myself when looking into a mirror. Invariably, the answer is always a resounding...Nope! Nobody home! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only ten, and from the age of three I've been on my own after being abandoned in the Amazon Rain Forest and eating twigs and small insects! -
    shelley kaye: what i say when i'm home alone and hear a knock on the door....
    -
    pipersfancy: The first words that fall out of my mouth whenever I enter into ANY discussion with either of my two teenagers... sigh. -


Mike Stevens: Boy Shelley, you've sure got that right, ESPECIALLY the cable news programs!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'fakerealitytv'!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is theincredibledisappearingpost'!


Mike Stevens: Michael C., you nailed it!

Mike Stevens: Yes, it's the ULTIMATE no-no; applies to friends, family, the guy at the hardware store, ...!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'allornothingpolitics'!
    granny goes viral: Me throwing a "date" off my porch, after I caught him watching Fox News. -


Mike Stevens: DIS-The key is NOT to get caught by a monster; I find that a high-pitched wail, much like a little girl, works wonders; of course, you have to practice almost constantly; so far, it's always worked for me; of course, I get many a strange look in the supermarket!
    DIS-illusioned: It could also be what emanates from your mouth after you've been sedated but then find out that the syringe had contained recycled toilet water.
    P.S. There's nothing wrong with recycled toilet water--as long as it's not from my toilet. -


Mike Stevens:
pipersfancy: ouch!


Mike Stevens:
shelley: at least he melted with a smile on his face!

    (Absolutely no hope for you in such scenarios.) -
    michaelcahill: It's a cream laced with Valium rubbed all over one's body applied to produce a feeling of nirvana. It doesn't work properly if applied by Rosie Perez. -

    DIS-illusioned: The self-fulfilled prophecy that the crap you believed to be transpiring is indeed confirmed--'normalabnormal'.
    (You so hate how obvious it is that you're right in these cases.) -
    Kingsland: How to describe Kingsland, the poet. The poet don't know it, he never did. He's just the definition of the word presented here. that's about as clear as mud, But then you weren't referring to mud... -


Mike Stevens: Michael C; nice poem!


Mike Stevens: It's a mouthful, but it's a REAL word; you can look it up; no it's not, never mind evilynne!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'yesterdayfulloftomorrow's'!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'yesterdayfulloftomorrow's'!
    michaelcahill: yesterdayfulloftomorrow's

    we ponder yesterday
    and mourn our sorrows
    while putting time at bay
    for our tommorrows

    today comes with a rush
    your last one borrowed
    you never moved ahead
    you looked back?and you wallowed?
    -


Mike Stevens: Ha, Dis!


Mike Stevens: Careful how you say 'head gasket' Michael; kids read this too!
    DIS-illusioned: "Head gasket'!
    There, I said it--and callously, too. Let the kids eat cake! Pff! .... -


Mike Stevens: Careful how you say 'head gasket' Michael; kids read this too!

Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'macandmotoroil'! I know, weird; give me a break, my brain is still sleeping!
    shelley kaye: i think that's the new deejay team on kroq....

Mike Stevens: pipersfancy; ha!


Mike Stevens: You still believe it the rodeo, Michael?
    michaelcahill: I always will. Let me know when Dec. 16th is here. I don't want to miss it. -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'latetotherodeo'!
    michaelcahill: Hey, I heard the rodeo is coming to town on Tuesday. Anybody seen it yet? -
    pipersfancy: Is it some kind of weird euphemism for... I couldn't find the bathroom in time, and my explosive digestive issues got the better of me...? -


Mike Stevens: Linda, there's a LOT of that going around!


Mike Stevens: I feel your pain, William!


Mike Stevens: I hear that, Shelley!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'Igotnothingitis'!
    William Walz: I know this one! Igotnothingitis is the mental condition I was afflicted with after leaving divorce court and being told by my Jacoby and Meyers attorney what my part of the settlement would be! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm 86, and the last time I was allowed out of the asylum without a guard was 1956! -
    Linda Engel: I'm with Shelly. My muse is out shopping and NOT at home where she should be. -
    michaelcahill: My wife's chief complaint. I don't quite understand it... she's got me! -
    Michaelk: Didn't we do this same word last month? Or is that your definition? Recycling the same words from previous months in hopes that readers won't remember. Just sayin'. :) -


Mike Stevens: I think I've got it Dis; also known as 'moneysuckosis!'


Mike Stevens: Linda, just turn right at California! Most maps don't list that state, but it's there; nice scenery too!


Mike Stevens: I don't know William; have you seen some of those pots and pans? Any woman would look sharp with one of those hanging around her neck!


Mike Stevens: Mickael K-there are ENDLESS uses for a 12-in-one-screwdriver; let's see, screwing in a 12-in-one screw?


Mike Stevens: Today's word is, "Giftpanicosis'!
    Michaelk: The mental state that sells millions of fruitcakes, 12 in 1 screwdrivers, and cheap bottles of cologne, especially during Christmas week. -
    William Walz: I know this one! Giftpanicosis is a peculiar mental condition suffered by many men at Christmas. It is a temporary psychotic condition during which men become obsessed with the idea of giving their wives pots and pans as xmas gifts, and truly believe their spouses will be delighted to receive such gifts! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only seven, and when I was a toddler my parents hired Adrian Peterson as my baby sitter. Ouch! -
    Linda Engel: But I like fruitcake and I want a new mixer, I hate jewelry, and I'd better get my usual bottle of Scotch, the green or gold label . Hey Mike, can you give the directions to that mental state again..?) -
    DIS-illusioned: That sinking, aching realization that it's freaking Christmas time again, and so you have to quickly find an apt cliff over which to fling your wallet and bank/credit cards, because the family will be bloody salivating in anticipation of the spectacular presents they believe they'll be getting from you--'Giftpanicosis'.
    Let me know if that definition was too brief, or not comprehensive enough. -
    granny goes viral: Ah Dis, I knew I could count on you.
    My take on this word is this:
    Don't even. Cause I ain't. -
    michaelcahill: This is an unfortunate and well earned condition. It applies to people who do their Christmas shopping at the 99 cent store. In spite of all of the thanks they receive for their "thoughtful" gifts, they can't but help believe that all of their friends and family are talking about them behind their backs saying what a rotten cheap SOB they are and how tacky the crap they received is. The overwhelming fear that this "panning" of the gifts will become an organized web site hell bent on their destruction is called, "Giftpanicosis". It is not considered neurotic or delusional as the likelihood of such a site being formed is extremely likely. -


Mike Stevens: Ha Dis!
    DIS-illusioned: So, what do I win? And don't you dare tell me my reward is in heaven. -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'Damnalmostforgot'!

Mike Stevens: Adri7enne: I must agree with you there; ho ho-freaking-ho!


Mike Stevens: Microwave soup, ha Linda!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'holidaybastard'!
    Linda Engel: I got this one: The guy sitting alone on the bed at Motel 6, drinking microwave soup, after his wife caught him kissing his secretary's mistletoe in the supply room at the office Christmas party . -
    Adri7enne: That'll teach him to kiss his secretary's mistletoe. He deserves to sit alone at Motel 6. LOL!
    I can't wait for his holiday hogwash to be over. Yeah, I'm a Christmas basher. Hate it! -


Mike Stevens: Michael C, that's quite a SPECIFIC and hilarious definition!


Mike Stevens: Shelley, that seems like quite the popular theme!


Mike Stevens: Ha, pipersfancy!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'hurldiner'!
    pipersfancy: That awkward digestive sensation I feel after eating a grand slam breakfast at Denny's... pass the Tums, would ya? -

    michaelcahill: "I've told her time and time again. I do not like black olives in my enchiladas. So she tells me to pick them out. Ha! I wouldn't have to pick them out if they WEREN'T THERE to begin with. She tells me that the other family members like them, she likes them and there is every likelihood that aliens from other planets like them. So, I tell her that I don't give a rat's ass what other people on the universe think, I DON'T LIKE THEM. I let her know the obvious truth. She put the damn things in there just to piss me off. So, I grab my plate and say that maybe the enchiladas would like to fly through space like the aliens who love them. That led to an example of, "hurldiner". -


Mike Stevens: So, big t**ts could be breast implants? How very depressing William!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is falsefrontadvertising!
    William Walz: I know this one! Falsefrontadvertising is the kind of an ad a plastic surgeon uses to entice women into getting breast implants! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only five, and when I was an infant my older brother used to use my head for a basketball! -
    michaelcahill: A new form of marketing. A creepy guy shows up at your front door singing a song about his man boobs. Then he asks, "Wouldn't these look better on you?" I told him, only if they were attached to Rosie Perez. -


Mike Stevens: Yes, Michael C, that's EXACTLY what it means, complementary!

    michaelcahill: I'm waiting for this one. That's what they have called me everywhere I've lived. (even in a duplex next to my mother) I've never known what it means. Something of a complimentary nature I imagine. -


Mike Stevens: Phyllis; that's why I avoid housework at all costs!


Mike Stevens: Emily; perfect description!


Mike Stevens: Ha, Michael C!


Mike Stevens: You've got that right, Michaelk!


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'actionbordom.!
    Michaelk: Every kid with a video game controller in his hand. -
    michaelcahill: The woman you are having an affair with has sleep apnea. -

    Lovinia: Mikey and I will share! -


Mike Stevens: The word for today is 'fullempty'!
    William Walz: I know this one! Fullempty is the peculiar state of mind experienced by those hapless individuals approaching their vehicle after a night out at the local bar. Even though the car's gas gauge indicates empty, in their drunken condition many drivers will see it as full, and begin their journey home with a drunk's false sense of security, only to run out of gas halfway home and fall prey to the attention of local law enforcement. Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only eleven, and grew up in a house with twelve older sisters who thought I had "punching bag" tattooed on my forehead. -
    Michaelk: My gas tank and bank account in that order. Usually at the same time. :) -
    Kingsland: This word has a duel meaning. first the full part. a politician's bank account. then the empty part. A politician's mind... -
    Linda Engel: I love idle minds. They are so much fun to play with. -
    michaelcahill: There are certain military manuals dealing with covert activities that deal with matters of a highly sexual nature. The military is rather regimented in its approach to things. I think we can leave it at that. The illustrations are a hoot. -
    Lovinia: Like our footballer who relieved himself on a police car while at his wedding on the week-end. Big fine ... bet his new wife was wondering if she made the right decision. Footballers ... full of it and empty-headed. -


Mike Stevens: I'm suffering from 'formatshock' right now, because I can't seem to figure out how to answer each of your comments individually so how about a group 'I'm laughing like a hyena!' blanket-comment?
    flamingstar: My God, I'm gone for two days and look what happens! I already told Tom I hate it! I hate change! Was there a problem with the old format???? -
    Erys: I had this problem too, but Tom said that I can replay like a profile comment...and that is a little confused this thing. !? So there is no way to answer to each comment as you could if you would use a blog or other platform. The technique is killing us...:) -


Mike Stevens: The word for today is 'formatshock'!
    michaelcahill: Yeah, dammit! Mom always liked Mat best. I'll never forget that Christmas when he got the new Schwinn Bike and I got a bike tire pump!! -
    Kingsland: What you get when you receive bad ratings for your poem... -
    shelley kaye: formatshock: what fanstorians had when tom decided it was time for a new look. also known as purplescreeneater.

    -
    Michaelk: Formatshock: When Fanstory members are strapped in a figurative chair, as Tom flicks a large switch that says, 'New Fanstory format'. -
    Imogen JH: Is this another meaning for the condition called 'Demand Avoidance'? -


Mike Stevens: Thanks Julia!


Mike Stevens: How do I go back to the old one, Michael C?


Mike Stevens: How do I go back to the old one, Michael C?
    Julia.: classic.fanstory.com -

    -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'whatsthistogethers**t?'!
    Kingsland: Now you've gone to far, when you don't know what together means. You'll be on the outside of your dreams... -
    Mike Stevens: Oh. at least I have a pretty good idea what 's**t' means! -
    William Walz: I know this one! Whatsthistogethers**t is what I told my wife after seeing her exiting a Motel 6 hand-in-hand with her ex-husband! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only nine, and when I was three I had to be resuscitated by paramedics after bobbing for apples! -
    michaelcahill: The together suit was originally designed for Chang and Eng the famous Siamese twins. When they passed their families had a garage sale. Nancy Slatheredbottom picked up the garment and exclaimed, "Whatthistogethersuit?" Everyone smiled at the warm memory of the Eng brothers wearing it.

    Mike Stevens: Your sister got confused; she thought they said 'all you can SEAT'; god, I'm sorry about the lameness! -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is "lastplacewin'!
    Michaelk: A golf tournament. No, wait, that's lowestscorewin. -
    Kingsland: That would be about George Bush and the last time he was elected president... Lastplacewin... -
    shelley kaye: YAY! i so know this one! "lastplacewin" is when two guys are fighting over a girl and the one that gets knocked out wins the girl's heart! YES!

    yes. yes, i am a hopelessly hopeful romantic....

    -
    Mike Stevens: You mean all these years my parents have been lying to me Michael C? -
    William Walz: I know this one! Lastplacewin is the way I feel about my mother-in-law. She's in last place because she's my second favorite person in the whole wide world. Everyone else is tied for first! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only nine, and when I was three I was kidnapped by Apaches and raised by a squaw with no teeth and four fingers on each hand. -

    Mike Stevens: Imogen JH; better middle name than me; think curse word, any and all! -

    Mike Stevens: Shelley, it's better known by it's literary term; 'blackFridaymoronics'! -
    Michaelk: If you mix dirt and water to make mud, do you mix ground up brains and water to make brainmud?
    "Igor, bring me the brainmud!"

    Mike Stevens: Makes perfect sense to me; "It's ALIVE, it's ALIVE!" -

Mike Stevens: Today's word is "quarterhalf'!
    William Walz: I know this one! Quarterhalf is the mathematical test problem that caused me to flunk the fourth grade! Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only ten, and growing up my boyhood idols were Rocky and Bullwinkle. -
    Mike Stevens: William, I think the math question that caused me to flunk out in the same grade is, "What is two plus two?" -
    Debra White: A quarter half? that would be an 8th....wouldn't it?! -
    trimple: Bed thief mathematics! -
    Mike Stevens: Literally, I guess Debra; but the one plus one is beyond my mathematical abilities; oh who am I kidding? WHAT mathematical abilities? -
    Michaelk: A small horse that only runs half the race. -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'sharehogger'!
    Debra White: It's what I'd call my husband when I share my chocolate with him and he takes too big a bite. -
    Imogen JH: I'd call mine worse than that Deb's if he took my chocholate. Especially my orange matchmakers.

    I think it is a city wide boy who buys up all a companies shares.

    Well, maybe. -
    pipersfancy: The mildly conflicted feelings I experience when I think, "I should probably share these Lindt chocolates with my kids", yet I hide in the car and eat it all myself before coming in from the grocery... Oh well... that feeling passes. -
    Michaelk: My wife, who by some miraculous means, snuggles up to me in bed and still manages to take all the covers. -
    Mike Stevens: Debra, he should know better that to mess with someone else's chocolate; you just don't do it! -
    Mike Stevens: ImogenJH; does Debra know that your husband wants to share her chocolate? -
    Mike Stevens: pipersfancy; a very reasonable reaction, if you ask me! -
    Mike Stevens: Michaelk, I think your complaint is universal; one bit of advice learned through years of unfortunate experience; lift weights so you can pull harder! -

Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'Ginandtonicitis'!
    Kingsland: I can't even pronounce that. So I have no idea of what that is. That is not a very good word you've made up here. Give it to me phonetically... -

Other variations of the disease include the dreaded rumandrhumbra syndrome, the ever-popular oldfashioneditis and the current sadderbudweiser affliction. No cure for any of these debilitating addictive conditions has yet been found. Yes! -
    William Walz: Don't be mad. I'm only 13, and started drinking hard liquor at the age of 9. -
    Mike Stevens: William, you waited until you were 9? You've got me beat! -
    Mike Stevens: Good Kingsland; the pressure of trying to mangle words BEFORE my coffee is IMMENSE; lol! -

    Michaelk: The thing you get right before DUI syndrome and bailmeoutosis. -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'forgetwish'!
    Kingsland: That's an absent minded Genie.. -
    William Walz: I know this one! Forgetwish is something you would like to forget you ever wished for, similar to a lifemulligan, or the do-over. A common example: The first time I ever saw my ex I wished we would fall in love and someday later be married. The wish was granted, but one year later, after the third alimony payment, I tried to forget the wish, but by doing so I was soon taken into custody, lost my house and my car, and half of my retirement! Yes! -
    Michaelk: Where do I sign up for the life mulligan? -
    Michaelk: 'Forgetwish': A wish given by an evil genie who afflicts the wisher with alzheimer's as soon as the wish is granted. -

    Mike Stevens: William, that's the exact definition as listed in 'The Mangled Word Dictionary', although you may want to keep it quiet; not many people know about that particular dictionary! -
    michaelcahill: Similar to the Beatitudes but for X-games participants. -
    Michaelk: When the secretary 'thanks' her boss for giving her a raise by giving him a raise.
    :) -

Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'meaninglessimportant'!
    Michaelk: Any sports statistic (if you're really honest about it). -
    William Walz: I know this one! Meaninglessimportant is a psychological term delineating the qualitative differences in the thought processes between men and women. The first part of the expression is the relative significance, or lack thereof, and the females's interpretation attached to what any man tells a woman which he believes is of vital importance. This is a close kin to the response many women will give men when in total disregard of stated exchanges, most commonly known in the clinical arena as the "forgetaboutit" syndrome. Yes! -

    Mike Stevens: Michael, I'll buy that for a dollar; EXCEPT for baseball statistics; those are essential! -
    Mike Stevens: You can hardly tell, William; and I won't go near your definition; my ex would vehemently deny it! -
    michaelcahill: It is an ancient philosophical saying. The modern translation would be, "Is it meaningless to bring an ant into an environment of honey? What of two ants who can reproduce?" -

    Kingsland: This means... Of what you know when you know nothing... Igotnothingism -
    michaelcahill: I've got plenty of that, and it's got plenty of me. -
    Mike Stevens: Michaelk; very clever; I see what you did there; unless I too suffer from 'Igotnothingism'! -
    Mike Stevens: Michael C; it's like I always say; "Don't look back, nothing might be gaining on you!" -

    Mike Stevens: Michael C; I don't even know what an 'Icelandic pentagram' is! -
    Mike Stevens: William, I guess it's better than being tied to the top of an 18-foot tall bus going under a 17.5-foot tall underpass; by the way, humorous definition! -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'spacehuff'!
    shelley kaye: what you call a astronaut who gets high....

    pipersfancy: Oh - I thought it was when things REALLY didn't go a person's way, and they became SO upset that they went spinning off in a spacehuff... No? -
    Michaelk: pipersfancy. That's the first thing I thought too. What if two of the astronauts were fighting. Now I got nothin'. :( -
    michaelcahill: The desire to be on the space station, step outside with a paper bag and a can of gold spray paint and huff it. Sadly, it is not survivable. But, dude, what a cool fantasy! -
    Mike Stevens: That sounds right also, pipersfancy; I'm SO confused! -
    Mike Stevens: Michaelk; that's alright; I've had nothing too, but do you see it stopping me? -


Mike Stevens: Today's word is 'saladstick'!
    Kingsland: The proper name for a salad stick is a fork... -
    mrsmajor:
    Yep, I can go long with a fork...that's what I use...that was a good one...lol -
    michaelcahill: They do sell remedies at PetSmart, but honestly, once your salad has ticks you're gonna have to throw it out and start over.

    Or--- a carrot

    Or--- a term used in prison that you don't want to know about... -
    shelley kaye: i'll go with that carrot definition of mikey's.

    or it could be celery....
    -
    Michaelk: What 'Shaft' would carry if he were a militant vegetarian. -
    michaelcahill: What disturbed vegetarian children do to a salad to see if it gets angry... -

    michaelcahill: That's really inside info that hyenas are not going to be pleased to know you are making public. It's true though, as hyenas age their ability to laugh diminishes. In order to fit in to their packs they purchase special "laughs cream" on the black market. It is something that causes them great shame. -
