The verbosity challenge

[Corno Dolce]

"Too much of a good thing is wonderful"

Thank you CT, I had to put my thinking cap on though.


Here is one, try this. (clue on request if needed.)

Not low on the plains or up in the skies, but where a person would have to ascend to, you might encounter a person who has no friends with them. This person has been given the task of watching over certain things that can have parts of it used for culinary reasons.

Are we talking Sound of Music here Margaret?

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd.

(I'll leave out the yodelling!)

 

[marval]

Well done John, shame I was hoping for some yodelling.


Margaret

 

[jhnbrbr]

Oh well, if you insist ...

[marval]

Oh thank you John, can Julie join in?

beautiful yodelling (always wondered how to type yodelling, now I know).

Whereby an animal of the genius homo sapien has an elevated appendage over tropical fruit and the symetrical opposite near a 6'foot deep hole.

 

[marval]

I need a little thought on this.

Ahem CT64,

Please, such prurient verbiage does test the virgin ear :smirk:

 

[Contratrombone64]

*sigh* - one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave. (Can't believe margaret didn't get it).

 

[marval]

Sorry CT, that one had me confused, my brain needed a holiday.


Margaret

Hi GrandDame Margaret,

Don't feel bad if you didn't get CT's 'excentric' humour - It will test even the most bookish type these days :grin::smirk:

CD

 

[marval]

Thank you for that CD, I feel much better now.

Here is a not too difficult one.

Some item that makes you shake and open your mouth to produce a loud noise, befell as you traversed on a journey that will see you arrive at a place that you oft frequent.


Margaret

 

[jhnbrbr]

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum?

 

[marval]

Got it in one John, pick a prize from the top shelf.


Margaret

 

[jhnbrbr]

OOh, the cuddly toy, please Margaret!

It was a good one, btw, it made me laugh when I got it.

Going slightly off-topic, here's one in the form of a crossword clue (and I'll give you one letter)...

Congratulations, that's just how I like my steak. (4,4)

[marval]

Here is your cuddly toy John.

Would you like your steak well done by any chance?

Indeed - could be a very good game ... why not simply start a thread, it's not hard (as opposed to going off topic, which I never do, well, hardly ever. Ok, so that's just a lie, I know.).
