Washer

I spent hours lobbing that rubber ring over a cricket stump. But the quoits club ladies used a metal washer and a cocktail stick. @130story

Glory

The Gashlycrumb Tinies
Can be found in every Montessori
Each child meets an end

Prophet

Jeremiah faced the wall.
"Heard Freakonomics?"

Crunch

Of all the digits I've tasted, only some stand out. 4's brittle, 8's chewy, and 0 catches on your tongue. Only 7 has real crunch. @130story

False

Snouts too long and teeth all wrong. Any fool with binoculars could tell the zoo was lying. All of the alligators were false. @130story

Bacon

Top man, Roger. Big on scientific deduction, foreign languages and watching the stars. Alchemy aside, you'd have to back Bacon. @130story

Butterscotch Angel Delight, perfect.

Ginger

I stood Wally a ginger beer. Asked about his shades. Used to make this stuff at home, he said. Held a bottle up to my eye. Boom! @130story

Pup

Walking a pup would liven things up
When out playing Pokemon Go
Whatever breed, nothing exotic
Must be 4G-ed and ideally robotic@130story

Gone

Prompts you, does he, sir? How very curious. No, we don't consider anyone missing until they've been gone for a full 24 hours. @130story

Wafer

Pour powder into bowl.
Splash of milk.

Clap

Vibrant and vast, a rainbow to awe the elements. Lauded by the lightning. Hailed by the hail. Even the thunder gave a mighty clap. @130story

Pill

I know those harpoons itch, but who started this? Didn't you bite off half the guy's leg?! Relax, Moby, and take a krill pill. @130story

Pluck

Such a note! Do you not hear it? A path, a wood, a glade, that sound ever closer. Yet it was no harp that the creature did pluck. @130story

Toll

To make them "accessible", Father Wayne pays some chump to sign the 9am bells for the hard of hearing. We call it "the deaf toll." @130story
