Last year I did a thing asking for random words which I worked into a yarn later in the week ……. not knitting yarn!!!
Original post here and the story is here.
Gitwizard has suggested that I do it again as there are some new avid readers around.
I would say I’m game, except I’m afraid someone might shoot me so I’ll just say – please leave some random words in a comment [not RUDE ones and only one or two each] and I’ll weave them into some nonsense on Friday ….. it’s not as if I’m busy or anything ……. sheeeeesh.
(No it isn’t, is it. And I don’t think that’s going to prevent the odd random passing sharpshooter, randomly passing, [and it'd be nothing to do with me] from taking a pot shot, randomly [pot shot - game, geddit? Sorry, too much cocoa]. Lo,TG Ed)

As I am off to a farm in exotic Gloucestershire very soon, my word is an acronym:

Word: template
Phrase: a dog’s dinner
Just tossed out the first things that came into my head.
I hope there wasn’t a mirror around when you came up with the phrase ……..
Ah, you’ve sussed out my secret.
Bunburying. Going to Hell in a handbasket.
Please treat these suggestions with the importance they so earnestly deserve.
Isn’t Bunburying an invalid word? ….. and a handbasket instead of a handbag …… OK …… [note to self - remember to put Archie in the spam section]
No need to get wilde at me!
Confabulation…seems quite appropriate!!

Happy I was able to assist you in your literary pursuits. I look forward to Friday.

It’s why I don’t worry much about being replaced at Papersurfer Ink. I’m (almost) indispensable… that is… unless some young thing with only one foot comes along… then I’m probably up some certain-but-heretofore-unnamed-because-I’m-supposed-to-behave-with-a-bit-of-decorum-here-at-the-office creek without a paddle.
Uni-dexters are highly prized around here ….. but no-one can compete with you young Fraccy ……
I’m not bitter about it DP, I do understand why… they cost you only half as much in annual flip-flop bonuses.
I’ve gotten quite good at popping out on my coffee break and purchasing myself consolation shoes. In fact, there’s a pair I was admiring just a few days ago…
Perhaps it’s time for ‘tea’… I’ll be back shortly… I’ve switched the machine on to answer calls while I’m out…
Don’t think you can pull the wool over my eyes ….. why’s it gone dark in here?
if I’m not too late. . .
Phrase: my ears are burning
word: dudgeon (NOT dungeon)
‘Dudgeon’ as in high I assume ….. I’m very familiar with that state ………
