One sentence game

[misterNNL]

Arithmetic may be taught but less seldom used today as many jobs do not require calculating or the counting out of change at cash registers.

[Calb56]

Registers is a dumb word for me to try to start a sentence with.

"With your shield, or on it" is supposedly part of a quote admonishing Spartan soldiers to return victorious, or dead.

Dead ends never lead anywhere.

[misterNNL]

Anywhere begs the question, if you could be anywhere, where would you be?

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Be" always makes me think of "be de be de be de" (or "bidi bidi bidi"), which always makes me think of Erin Gray.

Gray is a color and grey is a metric colour.

[Classicgas]

Colour is the British spelling of color, which is the correct way to spell it ?

"It Never Rains in Southern California".

California was the home of the Palm Desert scene which brought us bands like Fu Manchu and Queens of the Stone Age.

(Aren't you glad that I didn't list those bands the other way around.)

Age old artifacts were looted en masse during the Boxer Rebellion at the end of the Dynasty of Manchu.

"Manchu" is what an adult human male wears on his foot.

"It Never Rains in Southern California".  

By Albert Hammond. Great song.

[ChrisBcritter]

Dangerous song, that irritating "Alone Again Naturally"; makes the average listener ALSO want to throw himself off a "nearby tower".

[misterNNL]

Tower Records offers about 350,000 music titles.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Titles of nobility can now be purchased online, so you too can be a Nigerian prince, German count, or Scottish laird; what better accompaniment for that fake Rolex you flash in the bars and discos?

Discos ruled the scene in the late 70's, only to fall in oblivion a few years later: who would have guessed?

[Ace-Garageguy]

Guessed the winning lotto numbers did not I.

[misterNNL]

I am always planning another model creation.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Creation of the universe is the center of much debate, and experimentation into quantum physics.

[JollySipper]

Physics of the quantum kind is studying on a small scale to maybe understand the larger scale, since it's all fractals.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Fractals and the Mandelbrot set and bears, oh my; be afraid, be very afraid.

Afraid you'll be late to church Sunday morning if you don't set your clocks forward one hour in the next 20 minutes.

[Claude Thibodeau]

Minutes, as in "Minute by minute" was the subject of a Doobie brothers' very popular song.
