Translate: the "footie?"
No, I'm a bit west of the blizzards, but it is definitely white and cold. Do you not get much snow in Britain?
"footie" usually refers to football but it is occasionally used to designate a type of sexual foreplay.
We get very little snow although an odd blizzard is not unknown.
What's your favourite way of relaxing?
Hey! Are we on the questions thread? Lately it's been a nice Bailey's & coffee and a good book or movie. I have a winter cold that's gotten miserable! What's your favorite way of relaxing while we await the revelation of the true meaning of CHILVER?
So it doesn't get too terribly cold there across the pond?
Clary, just in to say good bye and have a lovely time. We'll all miss you.
I'll pick #2. It seems familiar, so the guess goes for bitty lobsters.
I'd love a 2 pounder straight from Maine.
Devries cooked up pork and lamb for number 5 and nobody swallowed it
spendius and Equus crunched up Jespah's mild green onion, number 3
Steve seems to have been lured into voting for spendius's figurine, number 1
Rod and Diane were nipped by Equus's infant lobster, number 2
Nobody picked Clary's overedited, trying-to-get-away-from-food bluff, nor Rod's sausages.
Jespah, farkha and devriesj were intrigued by the maiden, and they were right. It is mutton from a maiden sheep, and that was the wording in a 19th century dialect dictionary - not a baaaaa'd choice.
3 marks each for Jespah, farkha and devvy
2 for Equus
2 for Jespah
1 for spendius
Woo-hoo! Does this mean you're leaving us, Clary?
For - where was it? Can we expect your usual informative and entertaining travelogue? Bon voyage!
A sojourn in a Spanish cottage, far from the Internet, phone and other distractions; but first, to get there, 2000 miles of driving. Not really looking forward to that!
Sounds like heaven. Have you got a driving partner?
Sell Totnes property futures.
Is that a recommended way of funding Clary's trip? It won't help with the driving.
I missed the thread for some time.
I will guess # 4
Everybody's gone home mate.It finished ages ago.But seeing as you're here you can do the next Balderdashing.Okay?
Take you're time.Look for a good word.
sad to see the game gone. But times change.
I think we found the rules confusing Lola but we have been trying on and off.
Oh, it's not gone, just limping a bit. I'm waiting for a good word to come by. Anyone got one?
Mr. Spendi-, are you offering this word as the next to be played for balderdash?! And do you also accept all responsibilities as dasher?! (And not the fiasco that was your last attempt at dashing?...)
AND is this a real word?!
Hey Madame Headmistress.Don't take that tone of voice with me.
This lot has been a fiasco since I first started playing it.I've come bottom everytime.
Nobody sticks to Lola's rules as far as I can tell.Not that I understand them fully myself actually.
First-Yes I'll be the judge if nobody objects within the next 10 microseconds.What I'll be marking on is what makes me laugh most.Anybody gets it right I'll suspect of Googling.It's a wit test.
Yes-it is a word.It's not as good as Kinnikinnick but it isn't bad I think.
I'm in favour of entries being on the thread but if PMs are what people wish I think I can cope either way.I'll put them on the thread myself soonest.I can cope with no entries too if nobody fancies it.In which case dash on.
If you can't make me laugh with TEETOTUM you must be very droll.
Oh, Spendius, Spendius! Do you think me the head mistress type?! I only like a good game of balderdash! You're supposed to take the definitions by pm, post 'em along with your own made up def. and the real one. We each choose what we believe to be the correct answer from there. You can ask one of the trued experts, like Lola or Equus. I believe Clary is on holiday, but that's my two cents worth! Besides, the idea is to come up with a def. that seems plausible enough to make the other players choose it, at least, I suppose, that's my tactic!
To me it sounds like the American indian version of what they would call a person who does not imbibe!(And if we're playing the "traditional" way that's NOT my 'bluff', but I hope you don't find it so droll that you don't at least crack a little smile or groan at the pun-age!)
