Whyunwise
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: why - un - wise
Sentence: Whynona, lived in a whyte house. She walked down her whyte hall, to her whybrary room, but when she got there, she asked herself "Why?" Over and over, her searching mind, asked the eternal whyning question: "Why am I here?." By and by, she had to admit she did not know. She remained whyunwise! Shelving it, for the time being, she was heard muttering "Anybody got a whys cracker?"
Etymology: Why: asking for a reason. Unwise: not having the answer. Abreviated form: y & y's ... related to m & m's ... cause I'm wishing this were a sweeter creation ... instead of the usual so and so!

COMMENTS:
Oh ... by the way ... Whynona's house is not in Whyoming! Her song of the day is Why? Why, oh why did I ever leave Whyoming." - silveryaspen, 2008-03-21: 01:33:00
I don't know why, but I love the story. Maybe Whynona will see a whynoceros if she drinks enough whyne. Why, Why, Why, DeWhywa??? - Nosila, 2008-03-21: 02:05:00
I am enjoying your enhancements above ... to story and music both! That is much better song! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-21: 02:38:00

Some many questions; some few answers! Great sentence and words! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-22: 00:53:00
I think maybe Whynona is simply a whyner, or maybe a whyar? I would hope she'd whyse up. - Mustang, 2008-03-22: 04:36:00
So glad this was good for inspiring a few more creative laughs! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-22: 14:18:00

Loonotrick
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: loon o trik
Sentence: Margie stopped in the bathroom and looked puzzled. She was having a loonotrick moment again. It was like her mind was playing memory ping pong on her. A memory or thought was bounced back and forth between the awake part of her brain and the one that was fast becoming Sleeping Beauty. She forgot it was midnight and she had to get ready to go to her bed. She had sat at her computer trying to think of a new word for her to verbotomize (or was it lobotomize?) and then she wandered into the loo for some reason. Why did this sound all too familiar? Why is she sitting at this computer again? Do loonotricks coincide with the lunacy of the full moon? Do crazy hookers turn loonotricks?
Etymology: loo (toilet) & lunatic ( foolish, crazy, insane, mad, eccentric) & trick (illusion, to mystify, an attempt to get you to do something foolish or imprudent)
----------------------------
COMMENTS:
(Perhaps she should skip to the loo a little bit more! Sometimes we think better on the loo ... it seems to help us cut thru the crap!) Superbly Hilarious! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-21: 02:13:00
love memory ping pong - Jabberwocky, 2008-03-21: 11:43:00
Very nice - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-22: 01:09:00

She went up there, and spotted the trunk because it was the only thing in the entire attic. Then, the recrawlspace started to sink in, and she thought to herself, "What did I come up here to get?" As she put the ladder away, she remembered and felt extremely stupid.
Etymology: Recall (to remember) + crawl space (a very small room or the underside of a house)
----------------------------
COMMENTS:
Leaves one feeling both a bit hemmed in and a bit spaced out! Blame it on living in the space age! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-21: 01:46:00
Oops! Spaced out age! Clever! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-21: 01:49:00

Been there many a time. It is weird when it happens when you're driving.
silveryaspen - 2008-03-21: 02:04:00
Whysly done, you Whys ones, Jamagra and James! (big silly grin/wink)
ErWenn - 2008-03-21: 02:06:00
Now this is a concept that genuinely needs a good word.
Jamagra - 2008-03-21: 02:27:00
James! How did you know about my harvest gold toilet?!
Jamagra - 2008-03-21: 02:32:00
James! How did you know about my harvest gold toilet?!
Jamagra - 2008-03-21: 02:34:00
Ack. Sorry about the deux referring to the loo.
purpleartichokes - 2008-03-21: 05:30:00
I'm curious as to why there's a carrot in her cleavage. Perhaps she was going there to eat it?
stache - 2008-03-21: 09:08:00
looks like a band-aid to me. great toon in any event. captures the feeling to a tee. and I should know.
purpleartichokes - 2008-03-21: 12:19:00
BTW, lovely toilet jamagra, but you really should remove the band-aid/carrot before you pose for pictures with it.
silveryaspen - 2008-03-21: 13:20:00
Brings a whole new meaning to the expression carrot top!
stache - 2008-03-21: 13:57:00
On third look I think it's merely an alluring peek at the d'ecolletage. Or else her bra is showing.
doseydotes - 2008-03-21: 14:19:00
I don't think the foreign object is her decollete, stache. I think it may be a partially-developed conjoined twin. More to the point, I'm pretty sure I know why she went into the WC: She was trying to find a "W".
Jamagra - 2008-03-21: 14:22:00
The band-aided carrot in the cleavage is sort of an Easter tradition at my house. Don't ask. heh.
stache - 2008-03-21: 14:25:00
mmmmmm. band-aids and carrots.
stache - 2008-03-21: 14:26:00
mmmmmmmm. partially-developed conjoined twins.
I think it's a carrot, a d'ecolletaged carrot. I thought it'd be better to use a carrot rather than a stick. Besides the stick is Jamagra's harvest gold toilet. ~ James
stache - 2008-03-21: 14:35:00
mmmmmmmm. partially-developed conjoined twins.
doseydotes - 2008-03-21: 14:43:00
See, that's the problem with this world. There are plenty of religious holidays that feature band-aided carrots, but not a single one that features partially-developed conjoined twins. If that's not descrimination, I don't know what is. I mean, who speaks for them? Besides the fully-developed twins to which they are joined, that is.
doseydotes - 2008-03-21: 14:47:00
I'VE ASKED YOU THREE TIMES!!!
doseydotes - 2008-03-21: 14:47:00
I DIDN'T MEAN TO, BUT, DANG IT, I DID!
I think the conjoined twins problem is replicating itself. I will fix this, one moment please... ~ James
There I fixed it. And I added safety valve which will prevent accidental repeat flushing -- oops I mean posting. ~ James
purpleartichokes - 2008-03-21: 18:45:00
Ah, sounds like a Kohler. Whooooosh! I dunno Jamagra, I think I'd remove that injured carrot before the Easter Buny comes sniffin' around. But then again...
purpleartichokes - 2008-03-21: 20:11:00
BTW James, great toon! Actually laughed out loud at this one, and the one a few days ago, but I forget what it was. Um, I took a trip to toonesia?
Thanks Purple! Perhaps the carrot catered to an obsession with vegetables? ~ James
Nosila - 2008-03-21: 23:59:00
Hello? It's Easter. Of course you'd place a carrot there to ensure the Easter Bunny might bring you something...DUH! Lettuce cornsider what would turnip with a bean there, done that attitude; a higher celery;frequent leeks; a Satsquash; and pepper that with the BEETles; Italian Scallions; and I'd haqve been on Okra Winfrey!
purpleartichokes - 2008-03-23: 20:09:00
