MM & KM Links Nov 2008 [Week 2]

[crofter]

And a famine (of points) fell across LinkLand as the AB-linkers were Strixen by a terrible plague! It was not intentional, but I think that Sir Strix is such a complex individual that it's going to take all of five weeks to "plumb his depths"! One good point is that not many entrants scored last week, so catching up should be relatively easy. Truth to tell, Strix has promised to try to be a little less devious, but as the saying goes "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"! Only time will tell.

The weather forecast tonight suggests that it will be frosty and very damp for the Shrubbery Squad, when they will need to be sharp at 09.00 tomorrow morning. That's the time when the new MM Link Game will be launched by Sir Strix, when he sets his second set of four words to be linked by fair means or foul! It never ceases to amaze me just how many entries surge in within the first five minutes of the game ~ you are all so competitive!

[Strix]

Well I'm not but here for you all in this very sparsely populated Shrubbery:

OOOHH Strix you are skating on thin ice!!!!!! Neither of us is that old!!!!!

[Strix]

The old saying was (from the Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs - etc):

A man was as old as he felt and a woman as old as she looked.

Not very fair or kind - is it?

[paulineward]

No...Strix...you are as old as you feel...and you feel as often as you can!!!! :-))

[evsajo]

Pauline Ward!!!!!! You a good Catholic girl too!!!!!

[Strix]

I seem to remember from my days, many years ago at University (see tomorrow's edition of MM Links) that the saying then, when you were in second, third or beyond years was:
"Feel a little Fresher every day" !!

[paulineward]

OOhhh is that a hint Strix???...many years ago at Uni... of course!...not feel a fresher every day!!

[evsajo]

Well my age is telling on me, have got to go to bed. I am taking a dictionary to bed with me to prepare for tomorrow!!!!
Will I get anywhere near Strix's words???
I am going to think of the most unusual words I can!!!!
Goodnight everyone, short and sweet tonight.
love kayx

[paulineward]

Kay... that will do you no good at all!! ...You will only end up with chocolate cup cakes all over it!!!...the dictionary of course!!

[paulineward]

Am going for an early night myself...so see you all bright and early....


Now I will go and devise an evil plan!...that Strix is a force to be reckoned with....

I notice Sarumite is scared of him!!!!

[Strix]

Sleep well Kay and all the rest of you and see you all in the morning for the KM links and, of course, the MM Links - that is if I can remember to wake up on time and follow crofter's instructions about how to post them.

Now, just what was that theme I was basing the Links on....

golly can't remember..........

[Strix]

Now, before I go to bed, I am expecting you make a supreme effort on the MM Links so as"
