Betsy to Heavens!

Now see, that's just not fair! Why should you be able to come up with sch an aptly annastrophic gem early on a Sunday morning, for crying out loud, while I need a caffeine IV to spell Max!

Betsy to Heavens?? Good one!

But--I have noticed that tsuwm, or someone usurping his screen name, is uncharacteristically posting about music today, so maybe he has been kidnapped again.

Anna, if you go, watch out for that MTA--that Minnesota Transit Authority has indeed been known to swallow people who have never again seen the light of day.

"She may ride forever 'neath the streets of Coon Rapids,
she's the spy who never returned". Anna--if you want a
back-up, stop by here and get me. I'd love to live in
MN anyway--they have real winters, up there!

Ah well, guess it's 'fess up time. I couldn't get through the rest of the day knowing I'd caused a depression to settle permanently over Hawkes Bay. Think of the grapes. Think of the lost tourist dollars. And other extremely pleasant like thoughts.

I came up with it after reading Anna's birthday post and have just been waiting for an opportunity to trot it out felicitously. The Artist Who Was Formerly Tsuwm merely provided the opportunity. I already had the motive. Guilty, m'Lud!

ipete,

ha ha! I get it... non-words, also know as nonce-words.
not to be confused with nun-words, or nonun-words.

Everybody--over in another thread, somebody named "Alex"
has posted under tsuwm's screen identity!
Anna, where are you?

>watch out for that MTA--that Minnesota Transit Authority...

you've got the name slightly wrong, but it is true that the Metropolitan Transit Authority does lose buses this time of year in those gaping potholes.

Watch it, folks. He's setting up an alibi for when our intrepid agent de bon mots disappears off the face of the earth!
