Don't forget the new bluffing game after you've voted in this one.

Shu helped me select one. I have to admit, he didn't choose mine.

Are you through wasting time on this crappy game? Then get over to the Bluffing Game: What Is It? and send me your daffynitions. I have two su---- participants so far.

He's kidding, Bob!

Superb? Sugary?

Are you sure?
he sounded serious to me.
If only I weren't in China I'd be right round to show him which game is crappy.

Harrrrrummppphhhhhhhhh!

1. 1. Kalleh

In England's a city called Leeds,
With museums and shopping for beads.
There's the Morley Town Hall
And kids playing ball,
"So get your sweet arse there", it pleads!

2. Richard

Whilst we marvel at Holywood's deeds
And Edison (whom Lumiere precedes).
I must make it clear
That by many a year,
The first movie filmed was in - Leeds.

3. Richard

There are many "young ladies from Leeds"
And limericks tell of their deeds.
Like that silly young bird
And that which occurred,
When she swallowed a packet of seeds.

4. Greg

A loose-living loser from Leeds
Spent the seventies sowing his seeds.
With five wives and more,
He had kids by the score
And never enough for their needs.

5. Geoff

A perverted fellow from Leeds
Has really quite dastardly needs:
With women he crams,
And quite often rams,
'Till often the poor maiden bleeds!

6. Proofreader

A leadfoot located in Leeds
Has a very fast car and he speeds
Down each byway and lane
At a pace that’s insane.
It's a huge waste of gas, he concedes.

7. bethree5

All the sheep in the fold out near Leeds
Send their wool to be made into tweeds
"Donegals?bah,' goes the bleat:
"Sensible shoes on four feet:
if you're woolen, that's all that ewe needs."

I hereby declare that Greg’s endlessly effective efforts at amazing and audacious alliteration have achieved the accolades they deserved.


Now everyone go and send proof some definitions or he'll cry and cry and cry until he's sick.

Thanks to those of you who voted for mine. I voted for Richard's film story, on the assumption that it was factual - it was certainly something I was completely unaware of. I also loved bethree's tweeds rhyme and the "ewe" needs pun and would have voted for it had I been able to make lines 3 & 4 scan, but I couldn't.

I will come up with a new Game shortly.

It's quite true and the film - all 2 seconds of it - still exists and you can see it on YouTube here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1i40rnpOsA

For the benefit of anyone who thinks I might have been offended by Proofreader above, rest assured I wasn't. "cry and cry and cry until I'm sick" is, as I'm sure both Richard and arnie would know, a quote from the Just William books where the it's Violet Elizabeth Bott who says it.

Except I believe she said "I'll thcweam and thcweam and thcweam until I'm thick - I can, you know"

Violet Eizabeth Bott had a lisp.

Indeed she did.

New game is posted.

I know, too many syllables (&I'm probably pronouncing Donegals wrong).. if you're 'woolen' also a weak pun.. I shall redouble my efforts
