No, actually Mama was a rocker.

That's when she hung me up in a tree... then the bough broke...
... and that's when DECLARE became CREAMED.

I do declare, I wonder where Caroline is, because without her, we can't have a story with a plot.

...and as Mark became creamed, he gurgled: "Ooh, creamer!" while licking his lips, and while he had actually meant creamier, what he referred to could also have meant the person who puts cream on a cake, as in: "The creamer of Marks' second birthday cake forgot to invite Caroline to the party, and from that day on.... " [smiley=shudder.gif]

...from that day on, it was war. Mark said he thought there could be peace between himself and Caroline, but Caroline said: "Gee golly gosh (or whatever it is that Caroline would say in such a situation), but you really are a dreamer, Mark, aren't you?
You may dream of peace, but I have rearmed myself. As in rearmament)

It's not? I suppose it would be rather redundant, yeah.

That's horrifying.
So, MURDERS becomes:
SMUDGER
Word?

Sure SMUDGER is a legitimate word, Mark and therefore it's eligible to become:
MUGGERS

Well, thank you, Mr. Merriam-Webster.

That's disturbing.
Therefore, MUGGERS becomes:
BUGGERS
Wait. Maybe not so pleasant, either.

Status : Offline | The muggers stole from Mark his last woolly buggers (not to be confused with the Buggers from Ender's Game), and so poor Mark sat on the pavement and wept. Along came good-hearted Terty, who said to the sobbing Mark: "Hey, Mark, you can borrow some of my lures for our fishing expedition, and just to cheer you up, I've packed in a few burgers too. "

Well, let's just use our imagination, and say that grouper becomes REGROUP

Ahem! Well, here goes: "As Mark and ShadowWalker moved on to their crudest jokes, poor Traveller could not manage to follow Terry's example in keeping a straight face, and as she lost control of her composure, she accidentaly spurted some of the water she had been drinking onto Helen's beautiful dress.
