Word Assassin : A Deadly Game

Concrete Pumps for Sue Duhnym, and a burlap sack for Triskadecamus. Both of you’re ending up in the river for using the deadly word.

MrVisible and jonnyb are killed for the sake of bloodlust; not for using the deadly word.

How about

Okay then.

::flying a la Powerpuff Girls towards the house of Manservant Hecubus (to hell with the stealthiness and the sneakiness of my colleagues!!)::

::PPG Music playing:: DA DAAA DAAAADAAA…

::splats into the wall::

Damnit!! Damnit!! Is there anyone on this god for saken message board that can help me unsplat myself from the side of this house? Or are you all off on different threads, too busy to help out a fellow member?

I suppose so. ::slides down the stucco wall onto the grass:: :slight_smile:

After having convincingly faked his death to delude Manservant Hecubus into a false sense of security, MrVisible continues on his covert mission. The safety of the earth is at stake. Any misstep, any omission, a single thoughtless outburst on the philosophy of Ayn Rand, and the entire planet could pay the price.

Unfolding gracefully from his concealment under the bay window, MrVisible stalks through the darkest parts of deep shadows, intent on figuring out what his next move should be. Whatever it was, it should probably involve the kitchen, as he’s been lurking in this thread all day, and seems to be a bit peckish…

Hmmmm…is the road to death a straight one?

You got your wish, mongrel. You’re toast.

God, I feel like such a dope for not figuring this out!

Is the word copyright?

I’m dead, right?

LindyHopper, you’ll figure nothing more out from six feet under.

Since when is “dope” a commonplace word?

It is if you’re one of us. Or if you’re a marijuana dealer. Or if you’re a big fan of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves- a really big fan…

From his oddly graceful crouch beneath a hydrangea bush, MrVisible unfolds, and stomps off through the heavily defended compound, muttering under his breath.

“Couldn’t have been something twisted and sadistic, like ‘any’ or ‘for’. No, had to be right under my nose. Board title, indeed. Bah. I’d have been better off staking out that drug den over on fifth. Those darned British agents. It’s that monocracy, I’m telling you…”

Defeated, MrVisible stalks off into the distance, still disgruntled. That is, until his next exciting adventure…

Does anyone know which horse in the Derby has gotten any dope?

I think I’m in the wrong forum.

I hope nothing funny happens to me.

A do—I say, a dope.

::puts on armor and starts immunity treatment against iocaine powder::

Yeah, but then you’d be talking about Dopey, which is not the same as dope…ah, crap. I drank what?

Curses!!! Foiled again!!! My deadly word has been discovered.

It all would have worked, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

Next time I’ll get you all!

How about a new orund of word assassin? Can I be the one to select the deadly word this time? Puh lease?

Go for it, Zoggie!

It’s a word fairly common. But not necessarily to this board. :slight_smile: have at it dopers.
