Yet another word game

[Bagumbawalla]

(The) 1980s was a great time for those who loved shoulder pads, neon colors,
Madonna, and "Trickle Down" economics.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Economics, in practice, are more about ideology and motivated reasoning than the debatable empirical evidence, mathematics, and game theory that give a veneer of scientific neutrality to the theories of economists like Hayek, Friedman, and Rothbard that shape 21st century societies.

 

[ImpossibleWhopper11]

Societies are judged by the way they treat their most vulnerable.

 

[Vcore89]

Treat their most vulnerable [the plight of older people] with dignity and care . . .

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Care standards come into play when returning a racquet for a refund.

 

[ImpossibleWhopper11]

Refund my money in full!

 

[Vcore89]

Full payment is required upfront,

 

[Bagumbawalla]

Upfront people will just walk up and tell you that you have spaghetti sauce on your shirt.

 

[Larry Duff]

Shirt sizes can vary by brand.

 

[ImpossibleWhopper11]

Brand new shoes, and I’m already scuffing them up.

 

[Vcore89]

Scuffing them up is what I won't do to my CHPT3 urban cycling shoe—no need to switch out of cycling gear.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Gear acquisition can be addictive for photographers.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Photographers tend to find themselves in the nastiest of situations.

 

[Vcore89]

Situationship with My Billionaire Friend is a predictable and sweet binge-worthy billionaire romance.

 

[Bagumbawalla]

Romance novel subcategories include historical romance, fantasy romance, paranormal romance,
sci-fi romance, romantic suspense, rom com, sweet contemporary romance, steamy contemporary romance,
spicy (erotic) romance and dark romance (whatever that is) with most available on line for free.

 

[Vcore89]

Free of charge are them journalism websites without a general paywall.

 

[Bagumbawalla]

General Paywall forbid his troops from killing unarmed, defenseless people.

 

[Larry Duff]

People gonna rise up and get their share.

 

[Vcore89]

Share a meal, share the bill.

 

[Bagumbawalla]

Bill me later...

 

[Vcore89]

Later never comes around.

 

[Sentinel]

Around the world in 80 days

 

[Vcore89]

Days Inn

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Innuendo and subtext were used by Hollywood filmmakers to avoid censorship during the Hays Code era.

 

[Bagumbawalla]

(The) era of good feelings was a period in the United States, during Monroe's presidency
that reflected a sense of national purpose and desire for unity, unlike here... and now.

 

[Sentinel]

Nowadays, it's quite the norm to pop down to the local for a cheeky pint after work.

 

[Larry Duff]

Working from home allows a person to wear pajamas and sneak out to practice the drop volley.

 

[Bagumbawalla]

Volley, the word, was used incorrectly on an old Dick Van **** Show episode when they
should have said "rally"- or maybe "practice hitting a few".

 

[Vcore89]

A Few Good Men garnered an Oscar for Best Picture. ["You can't handle the truth!"]

 

[Sentinel]

For Best Picture, the nominees are .....

 

[Larry Duff]

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

 

[Vcore89]

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme . . .

 

[Sentinel]

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Fair lady, your kindness shines brighter than the morning sun.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Lady Macbeth (don't ask me why this was my first thought...)

 

[Vcore89]

Out, damned spot! Out, I say!

 

[Bagumbawalla]

Fair lady, your kindness shines brighter than the morning sun.

"Sun", or even "Morning Sun", would be a typical name for a daily newspaper.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Here Comes the Sun

 

[Vcore89]

sun dog [parhelion]

 

[Sentinel]

Dog Day Afternoon was a funny movie to start with, then became quite serious.

(Some folks are forgetting that you need to continue from the last word or words of the previous post)

 

[Larry Duff]

Serious drinking is a nice break in the day.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Day in and day out I can never evade a burdensome sense of fatigue.

Note: Oh dear I thought this was word association, not the phrase continuance game, that's embarrassing. my deepest apologies.

 

[Vcore89]

Fatigue are loose camouflaged combat/field uniforms worn by soldiers.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Soldiers probably shouldn't surf in war zones.

 

[Bagumbawalla]

"Zones" are things you should be "in" when you are playing out-of-your-mind great tennis.

 

[Vcore89]

Great battles between Ice Man and Superbrat are considered among the most iconic in the annals of tennis.

 

[Larry Duff]

In the annals of tennis one could argue all day about who was the best.

 

[Sentinel]

The best distance runners these days come from East Africa.

 

[Larry Duff]

African refugees are adding much needed colour to the streets of Scotland.

 

[Vcore89]

Scotland Yard but why since it's based in London, well the original address of the MPS was at 4, Whitehall Place and the rear bldg opened onto a courtyard called Scotland Yard, thus the hq took its name.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Name me the best player at this word game.
