Wordle Wednesday #43

Aside from the fact that "swine" was used on both the 4th, and the 9th, I'm quite proud of this week's batch (the sentence for the 8th is in my top ten, easily), and am just going to present them without further commentary.

 12.3.25 - In her haste to make a new batch of tangy fluid, Olivia forgot to include the Tang.

12.4.25 - Each time the topic came up of whether it’s best to call them swine, pigs, or hogs, the drama club got into a huge fight that resulted in apology cards and tulip bouquets.

12.5.25 - Radar is among the many characters from the 70s who says, “Blast it!”

12.6.25 - I'd like to be remembered as a manic fella with a tiny waist.

12.7.25 - It was a fluke that the flute player was able to get the mule to budge.

12.8.25 - Tom, an old crony of mine, knew that wearing a derby made of gravy was a risky move, but he always was a turkey.

12.9.25 - We saw the ratings spike when the episode had the slime monster mention a bribe of eight dollars, and I made a snide remark that it was because the viewers were all swine.

Wordle Wednesday #42

 11.26.25 - If you’re waiting in the lobby of the hovel, you can slurp on some cacti soup.

(Careful, it's spicy. Or, spiky?)

11.27.25 - I had to remit payment once more to see Taylor Swift, because what I originally sent was light by 22 dollars. 

(I thought she'd shake it off, and that we wouldn't have bad blood, but, you know Taylor. Always the anti-hero.)

11.28.25 - Playing Nirvana’s “In Bloom” was a solid cure for the baby’s colic, surprising me enough to say “golly”.

(This one - like so many of these sentences - is just dumb, but it amuses me.)

11.29.25 - The old man’s guess was gruff, but it did align with his long-held reputation as a grump.

(What is me, on Jeopardy!?)

11.30.25 - The animatronic weather forecaster was cute and fuzzy, but also a bit buggy - she’d cooly tell you it was “somewhat muggy” when in fact it was windy as hell, and if it was raining at all, she’d get pushy, demanding you take an umbrella. 

(Okay, this one takes the cake for the best of this week's batch.)

12.1.25 - Hearing the latch clink behind him, the mogul knew that escape was impossible as the sycophants started to leach his earnings.

(Yes.... eat the rich.)

12.2.25 - We knew the cacti were coming to visit, but we weren’t expecting a blitz.

(Interesting how "cacti" got used at the beginning and the end of the week. Anyway. "We knew the cacti were coming to visit" is a great sentence/concept on its own. Having the blitz included just makes it extra fun.)
