Day 75 - A Herd Of Walnuts, Word Games Make Mr. Brown Play With Razors, Josh Wept, And Ms. Rosebud Needs Goats


Mr. Blue
Went on a nature tour yesterday on a bus. The tour guide said "If you look over to the left you can see some of our black walnut trees." I look over, I see an apple tree – bright red apples. I said, loud enough for the people nearby to hear it "Those are some of the ripest, juiciest walnuts I’ve ever seen!" and then that turned into a running gag all day.
"Miss, when do we get to pet the walnuts?"
"How much hay do the walnuts eat?"
10:31 AM Mr. Silver
lol
10:35 AM Mr. Blue
The walnut trees were right next to them. I saw them, I just thought it was funny.
10:35 AM Mr. Silver
BEAU-tiful!
Was worried you hassled her for nothing (except the jokes, which were excellent)



9:10 AM Mr. Silver
Morning Ms. Rosebud
(le headache)
9:21 AM Mr. Silver
Double headache
9:24 AM Mr. Pink
Double rainbow
9:28 AM Mr. Silver
Looks like one of my old games for long drives...
9:36 AM Mr. Silver
Take a pair of words, next person replaces the first one with a new one at the end. Go until you can't think of a replacement word or someone repeats.
9:38 AM Ms. Rosebud
I’m terrible at games like that, haha!
10:13 AM Mr. Silver
Double rainbow - rainbow trout - trout fishing - fishing pole - pole cat -
10:14 AM Mr. Brown
cat nip
10:17 AM Mr. Pink
I think catnip is 1 word.
10:18 AM Mr. Silver
So is nip ple.
10:18 AM Mr. Brown
Cat balls
10:18 AM Mr. Silver
Something to shout when angry, that one.
10:19 AM Mr. Brown
Cat box
Box cutter
Cutter girl
10:22 AM Mr. Pink
Cutter girl is sick
10:25 AM Mr. Silver
So...this is an emo superhero?
10:26 AM Mr. Pink
Haha, I guess you could say that!
10:26 AM Mr. Silver
"You'll never stop me, Cutter Girl!"
"...sigh...yeah...(nick)"
"Eww...what are you doing?"
"...You wouldn't understand...no one understands...(nick)"
"That's...stop that!"
"Hey...I didn't tell you to look..."
10:28 AM Ms. Rosebud
Hahaha
10:45 AM Mr. Blue
What's this, take the last word and add something to it?
10:46 AM Mr. Silver
Yeah
(Not going to show most of the play - not worth reading - but I'll leave in rule comments and good bits – Mr. Silver)

10:50 AM Mr. Pink
Catnip is void, it's 1 word.
10:50 AM Mr. Silver
Well, I hadn't really gone over many rules
It is a legitimate play because, even though it's compound, cat and nip are both words on their own
"Bat man" would often come up, for instance.
10:52 AM Mr. Brown
Loophole
10:52 AM Mr. Silver
No...just a very casual game

11:00 AM Mr. Silver
There was a version of this where you'd write down a target word pair and try to get someone to say it.

11:01 AM Mr. Brown
catcher glove
11:01 AM Mr. Silver
(note...putting an s on catcher wouldn't cause anyone to blink an eye)
11:02 AM Mr. Blue
glove box
11:03 AM Mr. Brown
box cutter
11:06 AM Mr. Silver
Mr. Brown, do you have a cutting problem?
We've gotten here twice now
11:06 AM Mr. Pink
Cutter is a tough one
11:06 AM Mr. Blue
Should be able to drop the -er
11:08 AM Mr. Silver
Plays on words are fair. If you took "cut" and could do a word that started "er"
11:08 AM Mr. Silver
Also re-spelling tricks can work. Cut er-bove – Cut above

11:48 AM Mr. Pink
record breaker
11:50 AM Mr. Brown
Breaker breaker
11:55 AM Mr. Silver
Breaker Box
11:55 AM Mr. Blue
Box cutter
11:55 AM Mr. Silver
Mr. Brown? That's your cue...
11:57 AM Mr. Pink
Lets hear it
This is your time to shine, Mr. Brown.
"box cutter" … then … ?




1:56 PM Mr. Blue
2:01 PM Mr. Silver
Josh Christ
2:13 PM Mr. Blue
No surname, of course, so just Josh



2:44 PM Mr. Blue
2:46 PM Mr. Silver
I made a lottery number picking program in BASIC in the 80s designed to pick every other number and you were to play the remaining.
Assuming any you'd pick would be wrong.
2:47 PM Ms. Rosebud
What if I’d rather have a goat than a car?
2:49 PM Mr. Blue
Then you might be from Kazakhstan
2:53 PM Ms. Rosebud
How did you know?
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
Don'tcha believe in math?
3:36 PM Ms. Rosebud
I don't believe in math. I don't think its real.
3:38 PM Mr. Blue
She's Kazakh; she follows the hawk
