Last Letters #1

[Joesgirl]

The ESTRANGEMENT lessened after HoumaGirl MENTIONED that her foul mood was from lack of sleep due to the rude bird.

[torriblezone]

In their perfect fastidiousness, the family never MENTIONED her moodiness or her oddball EDUCATION.

[debbiedoo]

Getting a good EDUCATION can sometimes be an ONEROUS task.

[AdamsMuse]

His education became too ONEROUS a task and, since he was misbehaving and failing, the school decided to OUSTER him.

[Mawmaw]

After the OUSTER from school, the student bore the STEREOTYPE of a college dropout, which caused him to develop a better attude, allowing him to finish his education at a different college.

[DawnasMom]

The movie seemed to fit the STEREOTYPE of the kidnapper being caught by the TYPEFACE pecularities on his ransom notes, caused by his antiquated typewriter.

[Nafets]

The TYPEFACE was altered when the printer accidentally spilled an ACERBIC liquid on the moveable type.

[kmpaige]

The spilling of the acerbic liquid ruined the typewriter he'd had since the year of the bicentennial.

[chiman]

At the BICENTENNIAL celebrations Sherlock Holmes expressed to Dr. Watson his puzzlement of the workings of the digestive system, to which Watson replied "It's ALIMENTARY my dear Holmes"

[Mawmaw]

Too much RYE whiskey interfered with the ALIMENTARY functions of the student after his first frat party.

[Joesgirl]

The student never forgot how he felt after he drank the RYE whiskey because his friends all wrote amusing anectodes about the experience in his YEARBOOK.

[debbiedoo]

My YEARBOOK for 2008 will be filled with anecdotes about BOOKING reservations to flee from Hurricanes.

[HoumaGirl]

I know what Debbiedoo means about BOOKING reservations because I have had to leave my KINGDOM twice this month because of Gustav and Ike!

[Nafets]

DOMAIN and KINGDOM are the two highest levels of taxonomic classifications, followed respectively by phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
[I left the gulf coast just as hurricane season was starting, so I didn't have to deal with them this year ... hope everything's all right for debbiedoo, HoumaGirl, and any other affected Bogglers.]

[AdamsMuse]

In our DOMAIN in Louisiana the MAINLAND is being affected by coastal wetlands erosion at the rate of a football field every thirty minutes, while the government is dragging their feet on coastal restoration projects, thereby causing the extensive flooding seen in hurricanes Gustav and Ike.

[Biloxidebbie]

Flooding on the MAINLAND in Biloxi seems more severe each time a hurricane makes LANDFALL, largely due to coastal erosion, a problem that the government has known about for thirty years and has gotten progressively worse each year.

[Mawmaw]

While hurricane Ike was making LANDFALL we heard on the news that there may be FALLOUT directed at the State of Louisiana because an allocation of one hundred million dollars earmarked for coastal restoration was inexplicably given to Southern University for studies completely unrelated to the restoration project.

[snooz]

Southern U must have ALLIES in high places to have acquired such an OUTRAGEOUS deal.

[DawnasMom]

Maybe we should OUSTER the politions in Louisiana who make such OUTRAGEOUS allocations as countless millions of the money earmarked for rebuilding after Katrina is unaccounted for.

[snooz]

TERMINATION of politicos is incumbent upon US - at the voting booth... Coming soon to a precinct near you! [Sorry - I know this post risks turning this to a Dem vs Rep forum, please resist!]

[debbiedoo]

The news here implies that TERMINATION of the officials who directed funds to a study group rather than to build levees and restore the coastline is being considered, mainly due to the ONSLAUGHT of complaints of flood victims who could have been spared if this had been done two years ago as planned.

[HoumaGirl]

Here in Houma, LA we find that LAUGHTER and good times with family and friends, along with a lot of hard work helps us come back from the ONSLAUGHT of bad weather.

[Biloxidebbie]

It seems as if LAUGHTER can help even in the most TERRIBLE situations.

[Joesgirl]

Even in the most TERRIBLE situations you can feel BLESSED when it turns out okay in the end.

[AdamsMuse]

The patient was BLESSED with a nice nurse who gave him a SEDATIVE so that he could sleep.

[debbiedoo]

If you try to drive while taking a SEDATIVE you may get into a VEHICULAR mishap.

[Mawmaw]

If you get into a VEHICULAR mishap while under the influence you will then have LARGESCALE problems.

[chiman]

There were LARGESCALE problems in the ALEHOUSE because of the potency of the beer.

[Joesgirl]

Due to the fact that the ALEHOUSE was walking distance to our home, we ended up with a HOUSEFUL of people after the party.

[chiman]

The HOUSEFUL of people enjoyed the seasaws that balanced precariously on the makeshift FULCRUMS.

[DawnasMom]

We had to be careful while balancing the boards on the FULCRUMS as some people tried to play SOPHOMORIC tricks-like bouncing each other off!

[debbiedoo]

SOPHOMORIC behavior tends to RICOCHET back to you.

[Joesgirl]

The sounds of the music seemed to RICOCHET in an ETHEREAL manner from the round walls of the opera house.

[Biloxidebbie]

When the ETHEREAL music stopped I was brought back to REALITY by the steet noise outside.

[monalle]

openness

[AdamsMuse]

The harsh REALITY is that you have to make a sentence from the last letter of the last word TYPED in capital letters, which is sometimes hard!

[snooz]

Each time I finish a game, I wish I'd TYPED a little FASTER.

[Mawmaw]

I have TYPED so many words playing Boggle that I wish I could wear a PEDOMETER on my wrist to measure the mileage!

[Joesgirl]

When I count my steps with a PEDOMETER it makes my 2 mile walk seem ETERNAL.

[AdamsMuse]

An exercise session that seems ETERNAL is ALTOGETHER too common.

[chiman]

He was in the ALTOGETHER, and THEREIN lies a tale.

[Biloxidebbie]

We looked in the carport on Christmas morning and saw a sleigh and REINDEER THEREIN.

[chiman]

Seeing REINDEER in our drive way would have been rather EERIE, (no snow and temperatures only just about freezing!).

[DawnasMom]

Any encounter with a reindeer and a sleigh would be an EERIE and somewhat RIEBALD experience, especially if elves were involved.

[HoumaGirl]

The New Years Eve party proved to have it's RIEBALD moments as the night was filled with much BALDERDASH and fun.

[torriblezone]

Hearing that much BALDERDASH gave Junie the arsonist an urge to reduce the speaker to ASH.

[debbiedoo]

After raking up the ASH pile from the bonfire, the janitor looked ASHEN from fatigue.

[torriblezone]

The spotty HEN appeared ASHEN from her dirt bath.

[leatherlacemom]

flutist

[debbiedoo]

The spotty HEN couldn't wait to get back to the HENHOUSE to rest from her ordeal.

[mandc]

Because the HENHOUSE was dirty the HOUSEMAID needed to clean it every day.

[torriblezone]

Viewing it as outside the scope of her duties, the HOUSEMAID, in a snit, refused all AID in the henhouse.

[Joesgirl]

The aggravated housemaid thought giving AID to a tired hen in a dirty henhouse was IDIOTIC

[Mawmaw]

The IDIOTIC antics of the Three Stooges have always TICKLED my sense of humor!

[demami]

EDUCATED bogglers rarely find this game TEDIOUS!

[debbiedoo]

Many of the EDUCATED Bogglers on this site will often come up with a USERNAME that suggests a good sense of humor.

[DawnasMom]

A person assumes a USERNAME as a pseudonym in order to remain NAMELESS on the internet.

[Joesgirl]

Remaining NAMELESS on the internet is a good way to LESSEN the chances of identity theft.

[debbiedoo]

The SENATOR watched his chance for re-election LESSEN as his numerous misdeeds were revealed.

[Biloxidebbie]

It has been revealed that the SENATOR was having a TORRID affair with his secretary.

[torriblezone]

...well, they said it was TORRID, but IDLE speculators insisted it was tedious.

[leahandmitch]

The idle speculators did not realize he was a lecherous old fool

[DawnasMom]

The LECHEROUS senator failed to ROUSE any support from the community and was not re-elected.

[HoumaGirl]

The preacher could not ROUSE the children in his congregation to listen to his SERMON because they were all sleeping.

[leahandmitch]

The preacher's SERMON failed to banish the MONSTERS from the under the childrens beds.

[Biloxidebbie]

When the kids mentioned the MONSTERS under the bed the preacher TERSELY answered that there were no such thing as monsters.

[leahandmitch]

The children heard a LYRICAL song and were soon CALM.

[Joesgirl]

The children were wide awake after hearing the LYRICAL song and soon were dancing to CALYPSO music, all traces of monsters forgotten.

[leahandmitch]

dancing to CALYPSO music was frowned upon by the SOCIETY matrons

[DawnasMom]

SOCIETY matrons like to TYPECAST people that they think are below them in status.

[leahandmitch]

the matrons who TYPECAST people do not all live in CASTLES in the sky

[Biloxidebbie]

People who live in CASTLES can sometimes learn valuable LESSONS from people they consider beneath their status.

[Mawmaw]

We found out that we needed more boating LESSONS when we finally got back ONSHORE!

[mamalu]

ONSHORE in OREGON, the long and rugged shoreline beckons boaters and sea-lovers all year long.

[AdamsMuse]

The coastline of OREGON is probably the last place you would find a GONDOLA!

[bionicflutist]

GONDOLA ==> LADDER

It took a LADDER to step down into the GONDOLA

[debbiedoo]

The need for the LADDER was ERADICATED when the gondola sank during the storm.

[mamalu]

Matilda ERADICATED mendacity, dissatisfaction, boredom, and TEDIOUSNESS from her life the day the divorce was final.

[leahandmitch]

Matilda found that the TEDIOUSNESS of her divorce was ESSENTIAL if she was to move on with her life.

[Mawmaw]

It is ESSENTIAL to ALLOCATE money for retirement if you want to retire comfortably enough to play Boggle all day!

[chiman]

When I retire i'm going to ALLOCATE some of the money for my ATELIER to practice my Chinese brush painting.

[AdamsMuse]

The great lighting in my ATELIER was ERADICATED by the new highrise apartment complex.

[Joesgirl]

I wish they would have ERADICATED the plans for the offending EDIFICE before it was tall enough to block my view.

[AdamsMuse]

From the roof of the EDIFICE a huge ICEBERG was visible about a mile off the coastline.

[Mawmaw]

I look out at the ICEBERG while sitting at my drafting table in my ERGONOMIC chair.

[debbiedoo]

The ERGONOMIC design of my karaoke MICROPHONE keeps me from getting a cramp in my hand while singing.

[leahandmitch]

My karaoke MICROPHONE accidentally got tied into my telephone line and I HONESTLY don't know how it happened.

[DawnasMom]

The boy said he HONESTLY didn't steal the money but he he was known for his LYING ways.

[chiman]

His LYING was used to INGRATIATE himself on her.

[Joesgirl]

When the suave employee tried flirting to INGRATIATE himself with his female employer, it cause her to become very TEMPERAMENTAL indeed!

[AdamsMuse]

After seeing how TEMPERAMENTAL his bride was becoming, the groom called off the wedding when he realized that his bride-to-be had such a volatile MENTALITY!

[mamalu]

The TEMPERMENTAL artist and the feisty redhead come together in the persona of the amazing Lucille Ball, a remarkable TALENT.

[debbiedoo]

Lucille Ball was a great TALENT and a great ENTERTAINER, although this was downplayed on I Love Lucy, where her feigned lack of talent kept her out of Ricky's shows at the club!

[Joesgirl]

Since Lucy was actually a good ENTERTAINER, it probably really got on her NERVES when she had to pretend to sing and dance like a fool.

[mamalu]

A Chicago braodcaster suffered a bad case of NERVES when a car smashed through the glass window of the station's brand new, open-to-the-public VESTIBULE during the 10pm news.

[mudkip201]

The VESTIBULE had a LEAKY roof due to shoddy construction.

[Biloxidebbie]

After fixing the LEAKY roof, the contractor felt like he was suffering from KYPHOSIS.

[lostwords]

KYPHOSIS, while not contagious, nonetheless results in a certain amount of social ISOLATION.

[debbiedoo]

The ISOLATION of the haunted mansion by the sea brought the ONSLAUGHT of madness to the old caretaker.

[lostwords]

With the ONSLAUGHT of madness, the caretaker became prone to spells of wild LAUGHTER at inappropriate moments.

[Joesgirl]

The eerie LAUGHTER had such a TERRIBLE sound that the caretaker didn't have to worry about intruders, animal or human, coming close to the house.

[Mawmaw]

The party girl's grades were so TERRIBLE that her chances of graduation from college were beginning to look BLEAK.

[AdamsMuse]

When the dean confronted the party girl about the BLEAK outlook for her graduation, she stood facing him with arms AKIMBO, defiant to the end.

[debbiedoo]

The "arms AKIMBO" position doesn't work with my BOYFRIEND as it just makes him madder because of my stubborn posture.

[AdamsMuse]

Many a FRIENDSHIP has been ruined by taking the step from friends to BOYFRIEND and girlfriend...

[HoumaGirl]

I established a very good FRIENDSHIP with my SHIPMATE on my cruise to the Carribean...

[Biloxidebbie]

Sometimes your friendly SHIPMATE can be looking for things of a more MATERIAL nature.

[chiman]

Hello Biloxidebbie, and what MATERIAL things are you ALLUDING to?

[Biloxidebbie]

Why, Chiman, naturally I was ALLUDING to my diamonds, money and gold ingots that my DINGBAT sister mentioned to all too many suitors!

[debbiedoo]

Chiman and Biloxidebbie, this Debbie in Louisiana has a DINGBAT sister who nearly turned our cruise ship into a BATTLESHIP due to flirting with too many different men!

[AdamsMuse]

It can seem like a BATTLESHIP if you pick the wrong person, or more than one person, for a SHIPBOARD romance.

[chiman]

If all these SHIPBOARD romances happened on the same voyage it could be rather ARDUOUS going.

[AdamsMuse]

After an such ARDUOUS cruise, the sisters decided that all the new scoundrels they met would be OUSTED for good!

[DawnasMom]

The lazy college student was OUSTED from his classes after all attempts to EDUCATE him failed...

[midnight]

I need someone to EDUCATE me (it is just one of the many lacunae in my knowledge): I am uncertain of how many hertz are in a TERAHERTZ.

[Joesgirl]

I don't know...but, if a TERAHERTZ was worth money, it would be more valuable than a HERTZ!

[Zephyr]

Tera = 10^12 :o

[Mawmaw]

I saw the HERTZ and Terahertz formula on Wikipedia and it made ZERO sense to me.

[AdamsMuse]

I had ZERO tolerance for the ROWDYISM I encountered while shopping during the holidays so I didn't go shopping again until 2010!

[Mawmaw]

ROWDYISM while shopping may result in a SMACKDOWN between customers..

[DawnasMom]

After the Walmart SMACKDOWN I became the proud OWNER of the last Guitar Hero in stock....

[debbiedoo]

The SMACKDOWN was so entertaining that the store manager decided to DOWNPLAY the incident, therefore he didn't call the police.

[AdamsMuse]

In order to DOWNPLAY the effects of the bad economy, the casino used PLAYER incentives to attract more customers.

[AFishaNada]

The PLAYER incentives didn't work until the casino LAYERED on extras like all you can eat buffets and earmuffs during the Celine Dion concert.

[DawnasMom]

The casino customers in Louisiana and Mississippi are wearing LAYERED clothes after this morning's newspaper EDITION predicted sleet and snow....and, thankfully, the Celine Dion concert was cancelled.

[bendo]

Thankfully, the EDITION didn't predict heavy snow so I could go ONTO the road to get to the Celine Dion concert.

[debbiedoo]

I will not be able to go ONTO the road TOMORROW because they are covered with ice!

[AdamsMuse]

We are expecting so much rain TOMORROW that we may need a ROWBOAT to get our of our yard.

[Linda56]

BOATING is an INGENIOUS method of escape.

[bendo]

I have an INGENIOUS plan to USE the boat to escape.
