Kevin's Watch

The Gemini spacecraft lifted off from the ground with a roar and a mountain of smoke.

That smoke continued streaming into the air as the craft rose further into the heavens.

As it got high enough to be beyond our visions, we all popped off the bottlecaps at about the same time and drank our sodas to celebrate what we had witnessed.

offered

desperately

somewhere

Bob always offered to help with every project, under the theory that no one would expect him to actually do anything. (Or if they did, they'd be desperate to fix that error in judgement.) Somewhere, someone was bound to appreciate his unique lack of talents, but that day was not today.


Winter
Quest
Percolate

Twas a cold night in the deep of winter when they set off on their journey west.

It was a quest to locate the sacred sandal from the very feet of the once great warrior Graymain.

They came upon an array of bodies lying out under the noon day sun, percolating profusely delivering the unmistakable stench of death to each journeyers noses.

APEX

BOLSTER

PREMIUM

She could sense that she was at the absolute apex of her memory recall abilities.

There, this feeling served to bolster her confidence in remembering the precise formula for making high-grade rocket fuel.


It wasn't but two days later that she had synthesized enough premium qulity energy to ensure a trip a third of the way across the galaxy.



chapter

canonized

inconstant

Alice new her scriptures, chapter and verse. But it was time to get some new godspeak canonized. But alas her inconstant attempts undermined her success.

/poke

New words, please.

Billiard table

Chocolate cake

Spiders 🕷

Bob offered his billiard table to the local bakery in exchange for one of their top-secret recipes. He was surprised when they accepted the trade; their chocolate cake had won multiple awards. Unfortunately, the secret ingredient was spiders.


coherent
reclusive
pretzel

As he interviewed the perp .. the facts elicited seemed coherent. The guy claimed he lived a reclusive lifestyle on a solitary pretzel diet. Weird.

a poke from me now.... (not that I know I'll get back at the exact right time to play..)

3 new words!

Oh frig diddle funk bumbling

Vegemite
Caravan
Tonsils

"Are you certain there's no more Vegemite?" Bob asked for the 45th time that hour. He knew the supply caravan didn't arrive until Tuesday. The entire office was ready to rip his tonsils out.


Obtuse
Chartreuse
Mongoose

Jim was being intentionally obtuse. Of course he wanted a chartreuse martini but he knew if he admitted that, he would end up dating a mongoose.

Koala
Lemonade
Crypto

"I know koalas eat eucalyptus, but what's their favorite drink?" Bob wondered. "I bet it's lemonade, eucalyptus lemonade. But how do they pay for it, crypto currency?"


Caterpillar
Sibilant
Asteroid

"It's because of the Caterpillar strike."
"Caterpillar is actually on strike?" Jenny wondered, and added sibilant tones, "that is going to hold up mining operations something fierce." "We'll never have enough machinery outgoing to de-construct that asteroid."


bellicose
ostrich
sward

The alien avian creatures gathered together in a phalanx of about 70, and exhibited a bellicose manner toward Maya's crew mates.

Seeking to buy time, she pressed the button that inflated an ostrich balloon between the raucous rheas and made them jump backwards in the gleaming green sand.

Then Maya said, "QUICKLY, crew! Head back across that sward and into the safety of our spaceship as soon as you can manage!"


inexorable
abduction
deliberately

The inexorable passage of time made necessary the abduction of future eons, deliberately swiped from galaxies that would never know of their truncated timelines.

burn

forty

Swahili

Joes comments were a brilliant burn against Jacks racist BS about the 40 twerking Swahili


Lilliums

Majestic

Mumps

Majestic lilliums bowed their savage heads in the garden outside the window where Mimi suffered the mumps.

ridiculous

wench

sprocket

In hindsight, it had been a ridiculous idea to invite Bob to the D&D session. Bob believed a bar wench was something you'd find in your toolbox. You know, next to the sprocket wench.
