Yet another word game

[Vcore89]

[Systems] programming, what is sys pgmming, was one of the very first question thrown at me during my internship at Big Blue, which I retorted with, it's my way of conversing with the kernel, its core syslibs' LOC.

 

[stringertom]

LOC is an acronym that ludditetom is not familiar with; instead he likes LOL or ROFLMAO acronyms and catchy portmanteaus like @Mike Bulgakov ’s “spork” suggestion to fix Liam Gallagher’s world of soup dilemma.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

MMA is shorthand for mixed martial arts, a full contact combat sport, and it may be perfectly understandable that it is not recognized by the International Olympic Committee, but all the same to me that is a surprise.

 

[stringertom]

“Surprise, surprise!” was a recurrent phrase spoken by Gomer Pyle in the 60s sitcom spinoff starring Jim Nabors as a Marine recruit stationed across the country from his hometown Mayberry, North Carolina.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Inari sushi is fried tofu stuffed with rice.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Rice is a food included in one of my meals almost daily.

 

[stringertom]

Daily doses of Rice Krispies started little stringytom’s breakfasts. His best friends were Snap, Crackle and Pop!

 

[Vcore89]

Pop the magic dragon, oh wait, it's Puff The Magic Dragon. Someone told me Peter, Paull and Mary's PTMD song meant something else, however, they claimed they'd write about it outright if it were so, no need for such mumbo jumbo.

 

[stringertom]

Jumbo shrimp is an oxymoronic phrase, much like honest politician.

Political writer William F. Buckley Jr. once said, ''an intelligent liberal is an oxymoron."

“Moron is as moron does.” would be the approximation of what Mrs. Gump used to say to her son on a daily basis.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Basis of Oasis disbanding can be summed up in this quote:

Noel on his younger brother Liam: “He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

“Moron is as moron does.” would be the approximation of what Mrs. Gump used to say to her son on a daily basis.

[verbatim: ''Stupid is as stupid does.'' ]
Soup tureen flew through the air as soon a the word moron was mouthed.

 

[stringertom]

Mouthed (via TTW encrypted text) by VCore89 is the obvious quote stringytom was paraphrasing to meet thread rules. Sally Field was quite solid as the old school Southern lady but I really really liked her as Norma Rae a bit better.

 

[Vcore89]

Better to meet, meet to talk, talk to make peace, peace is a way of life.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Life well-traveled is a life enriched.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

E.D stands for erectile dysfunction and Elena Dementieva.

 

[stringertom]

Vampires were often unfair to the Latvian Lothario and he ran into problems with them on the pro circuit every match.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Matcha ice cream has become somewhat popular.

Lars Von Trier is a very successful Danish filmmaker who Mike B. tours quite often in various TTW O&E threads. He has won numerous awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

Val Kilmer reunites with Heat co-star Al Pacino enjoyed a reunion at a Simply Shakespeare staged reading of The Merchant Of Venice in LA.

 

[stringertom]

Venice in LA is quite a colorful beach community that has contributed quite a lot to Americana during my time, from Gold’s Gym and Muscle Beach to poets and musicians.

In before another reference to Venice Beach resident Lana Del Ray by Mike B.

P.S. I like Coke, not Pepsi.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Pepsi-Cola (PepsiCo) used to be one of my mother’s favorite stocks.

Lana heard that I used to live in Venice, so she bought a house there.

Pepsi-Cola (PepsiCo) used to be one of my mother’s favorite stocks.

Stocks of Fischer racquets reside in my house.

 

[stringertom]

My house was a parking space for my stock of Fischer demo racquets to show to retailers on sales appointments.

Ents are walking and talking trees from J.R.R. Tolkien's pubblished works of fantasy.

Asylum Records was created in 1971 by partners David Geffen and Eliot Roberts after pitching for an album as agents for Jackson Browne but being refused by Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. The cordial refusal was accompanied with a suggestion by Ertegun to the young agents to start their own company with Atlantic to fund the startup and distribute any projects in exchange for a 50/50 profit split.

Within three years, Asylum became the label for Browne, Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, John Fogerty and Tom Waits. What a way to build a company!

 

[Vcore89]

A company called DGC signed her biggest band yet in the early 90s, Nirvana. David Geffen went on to become the first music company [individual] billionaire.

Billionaire Axe is as cocky as they get in the wacky world of big finance. His hubris will eventually take him down for the count.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Down for the count go many who suffer from big-shot-ism, or, to be more grammatically correct, folks who are grossly egotistical.

California burns in another bout of autumn Santa Ana winds.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Santa Ana winds are notable for their ferocity.

(L.A. fires were a problem back in the 1960s when Jim Morrison was in town and Reagan was the governor)

City of Night, City of Night
City of Night, City of Night
L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blues, into your blues!
I see your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar . . .

 

[stringertom]

Liar Liar elevator scene is a classic Jim Carrey movie clip.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Movieclips is located in Venice, California.

By request of @stringertom:

 

[stringertom]

Venice, California is quite a lot more vibrant than Venice, Florida and quite a lot cleaner than Venice, Italy.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Italy has a long history of making nice bicycles.

 

[stringertom]

Bicycle seats used by fashion models are a secret fetish uv pedicabbertom.

Damn, it’s no longer a secret!

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Secret to happiness is loving who you are, loving what you do, and sharing goodness with others.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Other side of the pillow might be cooler.

 

[stringertom]

“Cooler!” was the ordered measure of punishment issued by POW camp commandant Von Luger to his American captive Hilts after several of his escape attempts resulted in apprehension.

 

[Vcore89]

Apprehension on all sides . . . yay, nay or delay.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Delay yourself when ready to explode in anger or exasperation; remember, nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen, as said by another long ago.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Long ago a Goa port harbored Portugese porting carne de vine d'alhos which developed into vindaloo.

Lo(o)ng Ago (And Far Away) was the most popular of the tunes in the 1944 movie musical Cover Girl starring Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly. One of the most beautiful movie stars ever, Ms. Hayworth was born on October 17 (stringytom’s birthday) 1918 in Brooklyn and named Margarita Carmen Cansino but took her shortened given name and her mother’s maiden name as her stage name. Her parents were both vaudeville dancers when they met and her father Eduardo Cansino moved the family to Hollywood believing his daughter had the talent to appear in the fledgling musical movie genre. He was right about that but wrong in the worst way as a father, sexually abusing his teenage daughter.

Daughter of famed Marie Curie, 20th century scientist who studied radioactivity, was Irene Joliot-Curie, who joined her mother in this field. Both women received the Nobel Prize.

Haunted by the image of the droop volleigh, JollyDolly takes his station outside the Mira Mesa Manure in the hope of seeing the pink&green ballet artist in the flesh.

 

[Vcore89]

Flesh and Bone, 'Breaking Bad' veteran Moira Walley-Beckett delivers 'Showgirls' with ballet; great dancing, shame with the plot.

 

[stringertom]

“And the plot thickens” is a neat phrase to describe escalation of tension in a ticklish situation.
