KINKMAKER - Buster Crabbe's movies are not "kinky" ( although I bet many female Flash Gordon fans secretly wished that Flash would indeed flash) but the twists and turns of the convoluting plots would kink a knot in a Mingian's mind.

A chinese barge just reported recieving a series of pings that could be from the black Box of Malaysian Flight 360. The missing Boeing aircraft was equipted with a PINGMAKER not the newly-developed pongmaker and the ships radioman said he was sure that he heard a "ping" and not a "pong".

ZINGMAKER - in the movies in the 30's it was believed that the heart had strings that went ZING! They were right. What with Obamacare the pacemaker will be replaced with a zingmaker. Unlike a pacemaker the zingmaker waits five minutes after your heart has stopped beating and then zaps it with a super jolt. This saves electricity. Now I will dig up the song "Zing Went The Strings of My heart" and we can have a nice sing-a-long here. no luck

Dang, dang, dang. I was hoping for the Coasters but... Anyway here are the lyrics... _______________________________________________
[Spoken] Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart.
When you smiled at me, I heard a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me started a symphony Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, heard a robin sing About a nest set apart All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart
I still recall the thrill, guess I always will I hope 'twill never depart All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart

"Meet Me In St.Louis," right?
Nope. "Listen, Darling," 1938. But Judy Garland, nevertheless. I see [hear] the movie has slightly different words, and two more verses.

belfry
PRONUNCIATION: (BEL-free) MEANING:noun: 1. A bell tower; also the part of a tower where a bell is hung. 2. Head. Usually in the phrase to have bats in the belfry, meaning to be crazy.
ETYMOLOGY: From Old French berfrei, from High German bergan (to protect or shelter) and Old English frith (peace). Originally the term was berfrei and it was a siege tower or watchtower. Since it had bells, people began to think the term was belfry. Ultimately from the Indo-European root bhergh- (high), which also gave us iceberg, borough, burg, burglar, bourgeois, fortify, force, bourgeois, inselberg, and sforzando. Earliest documented use: 1300. --------------------------------------------------
SELFRY - the universal right to take photographs of one's self, clothed, naked, or otherwise, and to paste these images on the world wide Internet.
