The Cossack Game -- Thread #2

I believe you were trying to say that an

opossum – possum for short

is a bunch of guys chasing Butch and Sundance

Butch and Sundance?!?? How posse! Get with the 21st century, will ya?

I get your drift, and we’ll head them off at the

passe!

I am SO confused! Aren’t there high-stakes fishing tournaments to catch the biggest pass?

I believe it’s more a singing contest for who can sing the deepest

bass

All ur bass belong to us!!!1!

Excuse the gentle reminder, but

base

is what you do to keep a turkey moist while it’s roasting

AAAARGH!

Baste by my own petard!

I didn’t think “petard” meant “hose,” but how else could you get hoist?

Uh…with the assistance of the heavenly hosed?

It has more to do with the idea that

moist

is that lichen-like plant you find on some rocks – not rolling ones, of cours.

I’m sorry, you’re mistaken

moss

is a building of religious significance in Muslim countries

No, mosque is an ingredient in some perfumes.

You’re obviously better at “Family Feud”-type games (being fresh off a bronze medal performance in the one I hosted) than in this particular diversion, as you’re apparently unaware that

musk

was the last name of a U.S. Senator from Maine who was running for the presidency until his campaign was derailed when he was caught crying.

Don’t be silly – Muskie is a breed of dog.

No, that was Muskie .

You know, like the capital of Russia.

Of course husky was really the home of the first black airmen.

I’m sorry, butTuskegee is what one make ivory from.

No, tusks are entries on a to-do list.

No, silly that’s what you look at the stars with.
