It is a Quilly day. Time to take Quilly’s three words for the day and write a story. The words are : phlyarologist; pulchritudinious, summotion Click on the blue highlighted words for a definition

It was believed that with the summotion of Clarence Gasbag from the Noport Beach City Council the Council would no longer contain a phlyarologist. But as luck would have it the pulchritudinious weather lady from Channel 13 was elected to replace him though her opponent Dr. Franco Aquarium said there was something fishy about the election.. Once on the Council and without her talented script writers Nancy Highpost was as much a phlyarologist as the man she replaced. She wanted the city to build a duck crossing so the ducks could get from the grassy side of the city park to the lake without walking on the road. The rest of the council saw her as a real foppotee and began to plot her summotion While they plotted they were careful to gnathonize her at every opportunity. Then came the day when she proposed what would come to be called “ The Mad Hatter Law”. Simply stated the law would force everybody to wear a hat when walking on the city streets. It contained a provision for a large fine and jail time for people walking bareheaded. David Letterman , having heard of her motion, had one thousand hats dumped on stage which he said he would supply to the poor people of Noport Beach to keep them out of jail. He ended the program that night by reminding the viewers that if they were going to Noport Beach to be sure to take a hat.
Of course, the law never passed and the Council went out of its way to ejurate it. But that didn’t keep the town from becoming the laughing stock of the nation. That’s when The Council finally learned the hard lesson, that the phlyarologist you have may not be as bad as the pulchritudinious phlyarologist you will get after his summotion

And of course with Quilly's words comes the required quivel. Remember to write quivel you must write something that looks like a poem, any style , but is so bad that if it was printed in a book of poetry a true poetic zoilist would tear it out and burn it. What looks like bad haiku is really qiku where the middle line must always contain a Quilly word.

Ode to a Phlyaroligst

The phlyarologist talked a lot
Most of what he said was rot
Pulchritudinious though he be
From his words one wants to flee
summotion is another way
Then will come a better day
I ejurate all of his words
They were for the birds
Foppotee though he was
He was just a lost cause
I tried to help him get it straight
But my help was just too late.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Petrovich returned to Pigeon Falls yesterday. As soon as he learned what had happened he went searching through the driblets to see if he could find one that might shed some light on all that had taken place. He thinks he has and is busy trying to translate it.
Tommy UK and Tammy show no ill effects from their ordeal except Tammy now insists on sleeping with a night light. She says she never again wants to be in total darkness.
Tommy is trying to find some way ,with his power ring , to remove whatever it is that is keeping Eino’s cameras from seeing what’s in the trench at night. Something is causing those cameras to see an empty trench even when its not empty. Thus Eino’s cameras failed to see the two of them go into the doorway or come out of the doorway. They have no idea how many other things have come and gone since the trench formed.
The latest rumor at Nancy’s Coffee Shop is that Tommy UK and Tammy aren’t really Tammy and Tommy but two aliens that are pretending to be them. The real Tommy and Tammy were eaten by the big spider.

Wrap UP

It has already been a weird day. My auto-post didn't, nor did Betty's, or Fandango's. If you clicked on summotion you didn't get a definition. That has been repaired. Now we discover that summotion has a modern usage much different from removal. The urban dictionary says " when something is crazy". I think I'll go back to bed and pull the covers over my head. The day can only get worse. It wasn't so bad. My sister Dzawn called and gave us the recipe for pasty dough that my Aunt Bessie used. That means we can now try making pasties. I got part of Saturday done. I visited all the blogs that visited me yesterday or the day before. Now I need a breathing treatment.
