One sentence game

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Worthwhile" and "burgers" and "White Castle" make me think of Krystal, and as I'll be fairly near one later this PM, I think I'll treat myself to a sack...and some chili-cheese fries.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Fries with chili-cheese or carne asada are very common in my little corner of the U.S, close to Mexico, but you can't find REAL nachos anywhere.

Anywhere you look around here is a Taco Bell to get some nachos, and everyone knows TB is truly authentic!   

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Authentic" Mexican in my neighborhood is now actually a little cheaper than the same amount of food from TB, but whatever addictive substance TB uses keeps me going back---occasionally.

[LennyB]

Occasionally my mind goes off course I get get the most strange ideas such as when I see TB I think toilet bowl not Taco Bell but then again aren’t they synonymous.  🧐

[Tim W. SoCal]

Synonymous phrases like "long, loud, stinky farts" and "acute intestinal gas" describe what a good friend of mine was stricken with, and we all suffered the effects from, every time he ate at Taco Bell, which was quite frequently.

[LennyB]

Frequently we come up with names for things or events that are kept to ourselves for obvious reasons such as a local event that is to take place next weekend called "Twin Forts" day but to those on the inside it's "Twin Farts" day.

[NOBLNG]

Day two model builds and rad rods are my favourite.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Favourite" has an unnecessary extra 'U' in it from my south-of-the-border, Noah Webster-influenced viewpoint.

@Ace-Garageguy, being from Knoxville, TN, I grew up on Krystal burgers or as we affectionately called them, “gut bombs”. They are so doggone good. There are no Krystal restaurants anywhere near where I live in Arkansas. You can believe that when I go home to visit I always stop by for a gut bomb meal.

Viewpoint over the hood of most automobiles these days is rather boring, where is the old mascot or Venus at the end of the hood, these days it's nothing but air.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Air immediately in front of the hood ornament was the 'target zone'.  

[Tim W. SoCal]

Target zone is what I become and air is what I HOPE to see at the end of the hood, but it is usually the car in front of me's rear end coming way too close because some idiot is slamming on the brakes in the middle of their texting frenzy while driving in heavy traffic.

Zone traffic can flamdambulate before your scrammis is ramped up to obsculute effectively.

Effectively bypassing sentences that don’t start with the last word is highly encouraged and editing your sentence after someone has replied is against the law.

Law enforcement on this forum is looking for a few good men to crack down on lame mi-spelt words and rambling sentences that make about as much sense as a VW engine in a Porsche.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Porsche 356s running VW engines weren't that uncommon back in the mid-1970s, as you could get a lot more power from a big-displacement hot-rod Bug engine for a whole lot less money, and the trans bolt-pattern is identical...but swaps in the other direction were popular too, as junkyard stock Porsche 4-cylinder engines were relatively cheap.

[Elrodbeckham]

cheap models ready to be built straight off the shelve.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Shelve"-ended phrase above is NOT a sentence; c'mon people, it's just not that hard to play by the incredibly simple rules.

[LennyB]

Rules, we don't need no stinkin' rules, if we had rules we'd need badges.

Be that as it may, why quit when you can just write actual sentences?

It's not a "game" if there aren't any rules.

It's just post-any-string-of-words-that-pops-into-your-head.

Yeah, I know. I'm mean and it's "just a game".

But that's the point.

It's a GAME.

Badges generally denote authority, but why is playing a SIMPLE game by SIMPLE rules apparently so distasteful?

[Rob Hall]

Distasteful may be in the eye of the beholder.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Beholder" is not Newspeek for "beer holder", though it may be similar to some local or regional or ethnic pronunciations where "beer" is pronounced "bee-ah" and the second syllababble is minimized.
