Tastes like quail...

This has been annoying me for months at our local Coles supermarket. My inner pedant can stand it no longer...


 

Planeting

Planet   noun   a celestial body...large enough to clear its orbit of all asteroids, comets, and other space debris.

Planet   verb   become a social outcast at a gathering.

"Boy he really planeted at the barbecue yesterday. Any time he tried to talk to people, they moved away."

q.v. Satellite   "We couldn't get rid of Violet - she just satellited all night."
 

Fizzy

Someone didn't quite remember the game was called Zombie Fluxx...

Zombie Fizz! The new drink from the makers of Groaner Cola! It has so much fizz, it brings the dead back to life!

Shamble on down to your local store and try Zombie Fizz today! It's cool to be undead!
 

Whip Me

The email discussing which horses we'd drawn in the Melbourne Cup sweep finished with "Well, between us, our 4 four horses should do something right?"

"Just as long as our four horses don't form a Pony Band quartet and stop in the main straight for an impromptu a capella session of their debut single "Whip Me"."
 

Encoded and rare

The encoded email finished with "666 7273 766624437". Using the intended decyphering technique of typing the message into a mobile phone presented the predictive, and unintended, text "non rare roomchidp"...


If you are very quiet, and watch patiently, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Rare Roomchidp.

Few people have seen the secretive creature, rumoured to have a complex camouflage allowing it to masquerade as the more widely seen Smoochies.

Often confused with the Common Roomchidp, the Rare Roomchidp is, in fact, very different from its cousin.

So uncommon is the Rare Roomchidp that the black market price can be upwards of $100,000 for just one specimen.

Adding to the mystery are the ever increasing YouTube hoax videos purporting to be footage of the Rare Roomchidp. Grainy, out of focus, or just a blatant spoof, these videos are giving the creature an almost cult like status on the internet.

Scientists remain baffled by the elusive Rare Roomchidp. What is known is that very little is known. With none ever having existed in captivity, these fascinating creatures are truly unique.

Olympic Whimsy

The first four have opened up a gap to the rest of the field.
- Rowing commentator during a five man single sculls heat.

It's time for her to throw in the towel...but she needs it right now.
- Cycling commentator Phil Liggett as an Italian rider pulls out during a very wet women's road race.

One of my strengths is just not thinking.

Making (non)sense...

Goat's cheese smells like apostrophes.
