Overheard in the locker room after the opening game of the season...

"Say Bro, did you catch the news that the themilum picked five out of six of the sexual proclivities of the Fibliotheque players and even picked the correct opening liner?"

"Right on, Brother, like they say, Bo and Faldage may know baseball; but the themilum knows opening liners and women."

"I heard that!"

Hey, Milo, you got that mostly right. Remember, I, too, am a Michigan female and I grew up not far from the locale of "Up In Michigan".

Thanks for the votes, folks. I will always treasure being the very first winner of Fiblioteque. [taking a bow-e]

Now, now, etaoin, I don't mean to impinge your sophistication but perhaps you should stick to voting TV people off islands.
Fibliotheque, you see, is not American Idol, etaoin, Fibliotheque is a Republic. You know, like the United States elections?

No matter the recount, "quality" is what counts, and Connie will forevermore be known as the winner of the very first Fibliotheque and I will always be remembered as her running mate.

And all your wailing and gnashing of teeth won't cancel a single line of it.

Tsuwm, no apologies necessary. I'm tickled to have fooled you at all, even briefly. This was a fun game - including watching milo smugly get me completely wrong.

When's the next round?

Long before women were burning their bras, and marching for equal rights, a small group of women were striking a blow for equality, one home run at a time.

Somebody oughta write a book that starts with this sentence. Many people buy books based on the first sentence of the first chapter, second only to those who buy a book based on its title.




Father Steve, you've absolutely made my day. Thank you.

Yeah! Who's on second? I had a ball being Fibliotechnician; I want my chance to submit a first line.

I can do it. Give me a chance to flip through some books tonight. I have an idea of which one I want. I think it'll make for a good game.


One question...do I have to use all those highfalutin words like score, sennight and fortnight, or can I just say, "gimme your opening sentences in eight days or the jig’s up" ?
