A freshly-chewed-down tree makes a wonderful base for a guided **mussel** , once you add a seminucleonic gyrometronial amplifrast, of course. ---

It better be guided, because if you pack together that much **missile** material, such as most actinide isotopes with an odd neutron number, you’re asking for trouble. ---

I think 1561 was supposed to be “muscle” meaning meat rather than the crustacean. And 1564 I’m guessing the previous poster was going for “fizzle”. Continuing… I remember in elementary school when we would play on the **cecil**. We also called it a teeter-totter. ---

C’mon, everybody, let’s all sing along with **Edsel** Merman! “There’s NO business like SHOW business like NO business I know!” [And Hoopy Frood, I do believe you’re correct. I think I went from fizzle to sizzle to Cecil all in one go. Mea culpa.] ---

When I see his movies, I always like to have a big bag of **Denzel** s - you know, those salty, twisty baked treats - to munch on. ---

[good one, EH, I was lost at Ethel\>Denzel] Madame Pepperwinkle painted our new kitchen a vibrant, sunny yellow. She seldom has much use for the pale, **pretzel** hues that are often seen around springtime. ---

Thanks to the work of Louis **Pastel** , Madame P. can enjoy her kitchen with less worry about pathogens causing food spoilage and even disease. ---

It’s said that you can avoid a lot of the issues with pathogens in meat and dairy if you let your cows go out to **pasteur** frequently rather than keeping them in cramped conditions. ---

When the supermodel moved over the side of the road, I have to admit I gawked a little as I **pasture**. ---

You know, I wish George RR Martin’s **Masters** were a real Order in today’s world. The idea of a reliable and consistent group of well-educated intellectuals advising world leaders is very compelling. Human nature intrudes, of course, but overall it’s a great idea. ---
