[chrissy]

RKO Pictures Founded in 1929, it is one of the oldest continuously operating studios. Produced many classics including: Citizen Kane and It's a Wonderful Life.

I'd rather start with RK than RL

[mahesh]

remember, let's, 'cause there are many really keen, curious BAUTINOes

one for the geog thread! oh, and i better do that thing, pronto!

[jokergirl]

ESpecially those who have to bring up their post count to kilopi should have as much access as possible to this threAD.

[jamestox]

Additionally, many BAUTinoes care not about the post count, but simply post for the fun.

[jokergirl]

UNless they are bored at work or otherwiSE.

[Maksutov]

See, this game works so well when there's cooperation and consideration.

[chrissy]

sections of this thread should be pointed out to those who disrupt our game.

[Maksutov]

[chrissy]

other than that "RK" "NG" "LK" are on the not to do list either.

[Maksutov]

Errant posts will be ignored.

[chrissy]

editing your mistakes might help, before others complain about it.

[Maksutov]

It's good to do that.

[Maksutov]

On to fun with last two letters now.

[jokergirl]

Really, what is offered for your consideration?

[chrissy]

one shouldn't have took that route!

[Maksutov]

Tents come in handy when it's raining outside.

[Maksutov]

Later, it will hopefully stop raining at Camp Grenada!

[chrissy]

I think I'm ready for it as I have 415 more posts to go to prepare for it! and counting.

[mahesh]

er....three kilopi!, eh? laaaarge pizzas, indeed!
can we have extra tomatoes and mozzarella?

[mugaliens]

Choosing the "eh" as it's technically the end of the sentence, not to mention a challenge, from which some people seem to shirk...

Eheu (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eheu), I'm getting old.

I should have ended it with "shirk," out of spite. Still, good luck!

[chrissy]

sorry mugs but the last two letters from Mahesh is LA

[mahesh]

oh i suppose i better go eat the scrambled eggs you made for me, chrissy....food poisoning or not

[mugaliens]

sorry mugs but the last two letters from Mahesh is LA

In the third sentance...

But since you insist:

Lately, I've been getting a lot of flak on this thread, even though I'm following the rules!

[chrissy]

especially when it isn't make a sentence, you can write a story, as long as it has a desirable ending for others to follow on.

Here's a Willie Nelson rendition for you:
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Cant you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But Im not afraid...this rover' s crossed over
If I never had a cent
Id be rich as rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

(instrumental break)

I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now Im not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I' ll still be rich as rockefeller

There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
keep smiling buddy

[chrissy]

never have I seen this done on this thread thanks mahesh!

[mugaliens]

Sheesh! Even I'm enamored with Mahesh's choice of poetry!

[chrissy]

rye-grass is cultivated for fodder.

[mugaliens]

From Wiki: "Erebus was the son of a primordial god Chaos and represented the personification of darkness and shadow, which filled in all the corners and crannies of the world."

Hey! I didn't pick the ending for the sentence... THEY did!

[mahesh]

er, mugs, ER....please follow. that is one option. the second option is that we may as well not bother with random letters and forget the whole thing! and let this thread go sit and squeal in a corner into oblivion.

oh by the way, even excusing the beginning of your post, you end it with 'ld'!
how cute is THAT?

[chrissy]

only one can spoil this for everyone else.

[mike alexander]

See example above.

[chrissy]

ROTFLMAO!

very true Mike!

[mugaliens]

Ken and Barbie never had this much fun...

[chrissy]

how cute is THAT?

Unlike earlier, I haven't even been trying.

Ooops, there I go again, another NG... Doah!

[brianok]

NG.COM is a website that does not exist.

[chrissy]

stop finishing on those stupid endings, it isn't funny anymore.

[Mellow]

Remember last time we failed to start a sentence?

[chrissy]

certainly do Mellow, this should be a harsh reminder to all concerned.

[Mellow]

Editing posts to cover up errors in this thread should be frowned upon also.

[chrissy]

[chrissy]

TC= top cat.

[Mellow]

Atta girl, keep this thread moving in a forward direction.

[chrissy]

only when I can think of a word that starts with a sensible answer.

[mahesh]

erroneously ending one's post with unworkable/incredible consonant combinations may be....hey, no point in repeating...i'll just zip it....a lot has changed here, i see...must go visit the oxymoron thwead...

[jokergirl]

Additional decoding might be necessary to understand what mahesh just said.

;)

[chrissy]

ideally, but I think I got the basic idea in what he has said, hello Mahesh my friend welcome back , I have missed you.

[mike alexander]

Ouzo is called for...

[chrissy]

order a bottle or three and put it in the freezer.

[mike alexander]

Ergs can be converted to calories, but I have no idea how to do it.

[chrissy]

It can be done by taking half a dozen of Ergs, dividing the shells by two, then multiply the yolks to the whites and dividing the sum of the yolks/whites by the sum of the shells to give you the answer. :)

[mike alexander]

Ergo, cogito sum.

[chrissy]

Umpteen omelettes can be made from this.

[mike alexander]

Isinglass windows that roll right down...

[brianok]

WN is an abbreviation used by advocates of white nationalism.

[orionjim]

lyonnaise is a French word meaning containing chopped and sauteed onions, cooked in butter until golden.

[mahesh]

[chrissy]

Lycra should be worn when eating the pizza and ready for something naughty for dessert, that is what you meant wasnt it?

[mahesh]

it means, you gonna throw a custard pie at me? a la Laurel & Hardy?

[jokergirl]

Dynamic custard pies are a nice dessert but personally I prefer the silliness of ice cream and chocolate mousse.

;)

[chrissy]

secretly indulge in chocolate mousse yummy.

[mugaliens]

Myriads of insects are found stuck in chocolate mousse every day.

[chrissy]

aye and they like to trample over everything, to put you off eating your dessert for life.

[mahesh]

Systems managing my gmail account, crashed.

[jokergirl]

Edible though they might be, I personally prefer saltwater fish.

[mahesh]

shellfish-wise, i loved the Norwegian crayfish, that i had in Sweden, in August...a few moons ago!

[jokergirl]

Going to Sweden to have Norwegian crayfish, isn't that a little strange?

[chrissy]

errors like that can slow the posting quite substancially, a problem quite often.

[mahesh]

encouraging Patience.

[chrissy]

certainly tried mine to the limit.

[mahesh]

it was only teasing. a whole bunch of BAUT posters fell for it, a while ago!
