Hey, wasn't the last word in the sequence UNGROUPS? Seems the last Ten posts have been in vain. Mind you, it wouldn't be the first wrong turn

I think Olly was put off by wofa's reversal, "Wait a minute. Let's go back to GROWNUP."

Yep, on closer look sight that was a bit of a strange move, but... was it all in vain? (grin, scrabble thy name is vanity)

Olly, I went back to GROWNUP because of an assertion that we should abandon it and move on as it was un-followable within the rules. My offering was proof-by-counterexample; then we continued from that point. Not a great tragedy to go either way; it is however the second time recently we've given up too easily, as shown later.

LOVER

OK. if evolution  ( feathers and furs and glossy scales and what did we get?) God/Creation, whatever your beliefs, had provided us with a nice cover of permanent fur, I would not have made this stupid remark. But as it is, are you sure it takes only two steps? How do you undo a U and add an E and an extra I in two steps only? Well, I wanted to use PIGIRON but there seems to be general aggreement that it's two words, not one, so we'll have to find a Plan B: POURINGchange U to E PERIGONadd another I PEIGNOIR...and now, we return to our regularly scheduled programming.
