Fun With Words! (8)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley's Fun With Words! I'm Smiley The Raccoon, the only host of this radio show, except when I'm not.


Squiggle: Hi! I'm Smiley's co-host Squiggle von Ferret!


Smiley: Today we will be doing a segment called Fun With Words!


Squiggle: Not that we do anything else, but we just want you to know that we're doing it!


Smiley: Hurray!


Squiggle: The first set of words is perishable, martial, cringe, immobile, and minimum.


Smiley: The boy told us about a perishable martial art that has minimum effects such as becoming immobile, or cringing at the sight of goats.


Squiggle: The boy told us about an unstable warlike art that has minimal effects such as becoming frozen, or submissive at the sight of goats.


Smiley: Why would someone become submissive at the sight of goats?


Squiggle: I don't know, Smiley.


Smiley: Then why did you say it?


Squiggle: I don't know, I had a random impulse!


Smiley: You should see a doctor about that. I once had random impulses and people couldn't stand to be around me.


Squiggle: What a shocker.


Smiley: I know. The strange thing is, people still don't enjoy my presence.


Squiggle: Imagine that.


Smiley: I wasn't imagining, people do avoid me.


Squiggle: Let's move on. Next set of words are affluence, onset, nimble, arrears, and taut.


Smiley: Most people in society are nimble and taut about the onset of arrears, but people with great affluence don't worry about that kind of stuff.


Squiggle: Most people in society are alert and tense about the start of debit, but people with great wealth don't worry about that kind of stuff.


Smiley: I'm rejected by society.


Squiggle: Of course you are. Next set of words are crotchety, impassable, jovial, partition, and sinister.


Smiley: The sinister and crotchety man put up an impassable partition to keep the jovial boy out of his yard.


Squiggle: The evil and cranky man put up an impenetrable barrier to keep the gleeful boy out of his yard.


Smiley: That's so sad.


Squiggle: What?


Smiley: That's. So. Sad.


Squiggle: I heard what you said, but why is it sad?


Smiley: Because, all the boy wanted to do is spread happiness to the grumpy old man.


Squiggle: Okay...... Last set of words are retrieve, manacle, innovation, format, and cascade.


Smiley: The manacle's format was a new innovation to the department that was retrieved from a cascade of water.


Squiggle: The shackle's pattern was a new addition to the department that was retrieved from a chute of water.


Smiley: Are we done yet?


Squiggle: Yes, Smiley. Bye!


Smiley: Remember to wash behind your ears!


Squiggle: I thought you said that last time......


Smiley: Don't be silly, I said 'Lather, rinse and repeat!"

Fun With Words! (7)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words! I’m your host, Smiley the Raccoon!

Squiggle: And I’m your co-host, Squiggle von Ferret.

Smiley: Are we done yet? I’m bored.

Squiggle: We just started, and besides, no one’s ever been bored to death. The first set of words is: gullible, quash, illicit, biography, and booty.

Smiley: The gullible author agreed to write a biography on a man who performed an illicit crime of quashing the booty. And for your earlier comment, I know someone who got hit by a wild boar and the poor fellow literally was boared to death.

Squiggle: That’s not the same thing. I’m talking about the “bore” spelled B-O-R-E, you’re talking about the B-O-A-R “boar”. Anyway, the translation to that sentence is: The easily fooled author agreed to write an account of a man’s life who performed an illegal crime of squashing the plunder. Moving on, the next set of words is authorize, culprit, dissect, pathetic, and scour.

Smiley: The pathetic guard authorized the culprit of the crime to dissect the goat before he scoured the pot.

Squiggle: Smiley, that sentence makes no sense.

Smiley: Is there a law saying my sentences have to?

Squiggle: Well, I guess not. So, I guess I’ll have to translate that. The feeble guard allowed the criminal to examine the goat before he cleaned the pot.

Smiley: I don’t get it. Why would someone examine a goat?

Squiggle: I’m not the one who said it. The next set of words is expend, persevere, reminisce, fatality, and memorandum.

Smiley: The memorandum caused me to reminisce how my friend persevered on the trek while expending his energy which led to a horrible fatality.

Squiggle: The note caused me to remember how my friend proceeded on the trek while consuming his energy which led to a horrible death.

Smiley: That’s so sad! Who would come up with such a depressing sentence?

Squiggle: You did Smiley. Anyway, you over react--- it wasn’t that sad anyway.

Smiley: That’s what you think! I demand a refund!

Squiggle: A refund of what?

Smiley: I don’t know. That’s the first thing that popped into my head.

Squiggle: Okay..... The next, and last, set of words is dawdle, immerse, inflammatory, relish, and
writhe.

Smiley: Okay, I’ve got this. In order to receive the full relish of the inflammatory performance you mustn’t dawdle in the hall or you’ll miss the part where he writhes in pain after being immersed in water.

Squiggle: In order to receive the full satisfaction of the exciting performance you mustn’t dilly dally in the hall or you’ll miss the part where he squirms in pain after being plunged into water.

Smiley: That performance sounds better than this show. We should go get tickets.

Squiggle: You do realize that there is no performance like that. You made it up, remember?

Smiley: I did? I have really good ideas then.

Squiggle: Well, we should close up the show so you can go get your tickets.

Smiley: Do you know where I can get some?

Squiggle: No. Bye!

Smiley: Don’t do things that kill you! Remember who you are! Lather, rinse and repeat!

Fun With Words! (6)


Smiley: Hiya! And welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words! I’m Smiley The Raccoon and I am so much better then you that I have a talk show and you don’t! In your face!


Squiggle: Smiley, we’re supposed to be kind to our listeners.


Smiley: No we aren’t. Today is National Be Mean Day, which is only celebrated by the nice.


Squiggle: Okay, I have no idea why you brought that up, but let’s go with that. The first set of words are amiable, oracle, debut, befuddle, and maze.


Smiley: The amiable oracle told us why the girl became befuddled in the maze during her debut as an actress.


Squiggle: The pleasant prophecy told us why the girl was confused in the labyrinth during her first appearance as an actor.


Smiley: Is that really the translation? I thought I said I wanted an ice cream cone...........


Squiggle: That sounds like a personal problem to me, Smiley. The next set of words are partisan, reimburse, boisterous, vagabond, and vacate.


Smiley: The partisan made sure everyone got reimbursed for their money after the boisterous vagabond forced everybody to vacate the building.


Squiggle: The translation to that unusual sentence is: The cohort made sure everyone got a refund for their money after the loud nomad forced everybody to leave the building.


Smiley: I’m just having bad luck with these sentences, I thought I said that I wanted a pony!


Squiggle: It’s called karma. It’s what you get for being mean to our listeners. The next set of words are limber, compliant, agenda, gross, and blight.


Smiley: The limber kid was compliant enough to change his agenda so he could help stop the gross problem of the blight that is attacking dandelions.


Squiggle: The nimble kid was biddable enough to change his plans so he could help stop the great problem of the mildew that is attacking dandelions.


Smiley: That sentence doesn't make any sense, why would someone want to keep dandelions safe? Dandelions are weeds.


Squiggle: I’m not the one who made up the sentence, Smiley.


Smiley: Or were you?


Squiggle: I wasn’t.


Smiley: You sure?


Squiggle: Yes, now let’s do the last sentence for the day. The words are clarity, conserve, gory, induce, and leeway.


Smiley: The teacher allowed her students to induce her to give them tons of leeway during the lessons, so she should have been able to see with perfect clarity that her test on conserving energy would soon become a gory battle.


Squiggle: The translation to that sentence is: The teacher allowed her students to persuade her to give them tons of space for mistakes during the lessons, so she should have been able to see clearly that her test on saving energy would soon become a bloody battle.


Smiley: I’m bored, can we have ice cream now?


Squiggle: No, Smiley, we cannot have ice cream. Ice cream causes cavities and then you have to go to the dentist. But we can have fresh fruit!


Smiley: I think I’ll pass.


Squiggle: Are you sure.


Smiley: Yeah. And that’s it for Smiley’s Fun With Words!


Squiggle: Bye! Remember to say please and thank-you!


Smiley: Be kind, rewind!

Fun With Words! (5)



Smiley: Hello. I’m Smiley the Raccoon. Sherbert isn’t here today for a reason she spent 3 hours telling me about. I didn’t pay attention, so I don’t know why she isn’t here. The radio people sent in a ‘permanent’ replacement, but I dunno...


Replacement: That’s mean. Besides you didn’t even introduce me.


Smiley: Fine. Peoples, this is Squiggle Ze Ferret. It says on this little piece of paper that you have no experience what-so-ever.


Squiggle: That’s right. Will that be a problem?


Smiley: Of course not! I don’t like experience. It’s evil! Just like pens.


Squiggle: Shouldn’t we start the show now?


Smiley: I guess. Over there we have the Random Word Picker Thingy, and over there we have the Sentence Analyzer Machine. You got that?


Squiggle: Yepper-doodley-do.


Smiley: Okay then. Pull that lever and read the words.


Squiggle: Pacify, setback, duration, headstrong, and fray.


Smiley: Since Sherbert has left, the station tried to pacify my sadness by hiring an unknown setback and leaving me with a headstrong ferret to sub for the duration of the time who refuses to fray!


Squiggle: Does my being here bother you that much?


Smiley: Yes, it does. NOW TRANSLATE!


Squiggle: Since Sherbert has left, the station tried to soothe Smiley’s sadness by hiring an unknown disappointment and leaving a stubborn ferret to sub for the time period that refuses to wear away!


Smiley: Next set of words.


Squiggle: Acute, bungle, commentary, eerie, and inhabitant.


Smiley: Due to my acute senses, it will be hard for me to bungle this job of giving my commentary of the movie about the inhabitant of the eerie house.


Squiggle: Due to my sharp senses, it will be hard for me to ruin this job of giving my opinion of the movie about the person living in the mysterious house.


Smiley: We still have 2 more sentences to go, so hurry up Squiggle.


Squiggle: Stop being so mean. Numb, fidelity, remorse, smug, and refute.


Smiley: I’m sorry to have numb your fidelity, I’m beginning to remorse being so smug and you have every right to refute me.


Squiggle: You really mean that, Smiley?


Smiley: Yeah, I’m sorry for being so mean, I must miss Sherbert. But you better translate that sentence.


Squiggle: I’m sorry to have dulled your loyalty, I’m beginning to regret being so self-righteous and you have every right to prove me incorrect. The next set of words are: bluster, facet, ravenous, synopsis, and tarry.


Smiley: My synopsis is that ravenous squirrels that bluster will tarry longer if there are no facets being said.


Squiggle: My outline is that greedy squirrels that talk in a loud threatening voice will linger longer if there are no aspects being said.


Smiley: That was the last sentence for today. And I just got a message from the station saying that Sherbert is not coming back and that I’m stuck with Squiggle.


Squiggle: Do you still not like me?


Smiley: You’re okay I guess.


Squiggle: Thanks.


Smiley: Bye peoples! Thanks for listening!

Fun With Words! (4)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words! I’m your host Smiley The Raccoon!


Sherbert: And I’m your co-host Sherbert da Fox. As you know, in Smiley’s Fun With Words! we take random unknown words and Smiley puts them all into a sentence. Okay, Smiley, are you ready?


Smiley: Did you say something? I wasn’t listening.


Sherbert: Yes, Smiley! Of course I was saying something!


Smiley: What did you say?


Sherbert: If you were listening you would know, wouldn’t you?


Smiley: Is that a trick question? Wait, I know this! Pi!


Sherbert: Forget it.


Smiley: Already did three hours ago.


Sherbert: We haven’t been talking that long!


Smiley: What you did you say?


Sherbert: I’ll just skip into the words since you don’t care about anything else, Smiley. The words are: topple, reverie, elusive, revocation, and deem.


Smiley: I deem that one day an elusive boy will topple while having a reverie, causing him to have a revocation of his walking license.


Sherbert: I think that one day a puzzling boy will fall forward while having a daydream, causing him to lose his walking license.


Smiley: If you put it that way it doesn’t sound as awesome. Sherbert, you suck the fun out of everything!


Sherbert: I’m sorry I’m a disappointment. Next set of words are: acquit, strife, devastate, petty, and strand.


Smiley: The petty police officer had a strife about whether the man was acquitted or not for devastating the strand of land.


Sherbert: The narrow-minded police officer had a conflict about whether the man was free or not for destroying the length of land.


Smiley: Words are fun! More!


Sherbert: Plight, discredit, generate, keepsake, and ovation.


Smiley: The man who sang about the plight if an old sailor, managed to generate the whole crowd a keepsake after they gave him an ovation, though I still discredit his ability to sing.


Sherbert: The man who sang about the trouble of an old sailor, gave the whole crowd a memento after they applauded for him, though I still doubt his ability to sing.


Smiley: Keep them coming, Sherbert.


Sherbert: Whatever you say, oh mighty ruler. The words are: ingratitude, repent, idolize, scan, and mortal.


Smiley: Sherbert, the mortal, should repent and idolize the all mighty Smiley for the ingratitude she has shown to her!


Sherbert: I am NOT translating that, Smiley.


Smiley: That’s okay, I will! Sherbert, the being that must eventually die, should atone and


worship the all mighty Smiley for the rudeness she has shown to her!


Sherbert: That’s all for now, bye!


Smiley: Bye, peoples!

Fun With Words! (3)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words!




Sherbert: The only show that 24 states have outlawed and 26 have praised. Now on with the show.


Smiley: You mean the one with the words?


Sherbert: Yes, Smiley. That one.


Smiley: Boy, o boy, o boy! This is so exciting!


Sherbert: I’m sure it is. The first set of words are: illusion, queue, bigot, enigma, and sage.


Smiley: While the sage was speaking, an enigma came across my mind: what would happen if I had an illusion of a queue made up of bigots?


Sherbert: Smiley, is there a reason why the Sentence Analyzer Machine isn’t working?


Smiley: Yes.


Sherbert: What would that reason be, Smiley?


Smiley: I broke it.


Sherbert: Do you have any idea of how I’m going to fix it?


Smiley: Try hitting it with that rubber pangolin.


Sherbert: A rubber what?


Smiley: A rubber pangolin.


Sherbert: What is a pangolin?


Smiley: Pangolins are scaly mammals that look like anteaters.


Sherbert: I’m not going to ask how you know that. But I am going to ask why hitting the Sentence Analyzer Machine with a rubber pangolin would fix it.


Smiley: Why do you question my messed up logic?


Sherbert: Because somebody needs to question it and- Smiley! Stop banging that rubber pangolin on the Sentence Analyzer Machine! Stop! You’re going to break it even more then you already have!


Smiley: I fixed it!


Sherbert: Wow, it worked. I’m sorry I doubted you, Smiley. The sentence was: While the sage was speaking, an enigma came across my mind: what would happen if I had an illusion of a queue made up of bigots? Translation: While the wise man was speaking, a puzzle came across my mind: what would happen if I had a vision of a line made up of biased people?


Smiley: More words!


Sherbert: The words are barrage, global, vocation, gloat, and diversity.


Smiley: The Global Diversity Team hit me with a barrage of questions when I started to gloat


about my vocation.


Sherbert: Translation: The Worldwide Variety Team hit me with a rapid shower of questions when I started to exclaim triumph about my career. The next set of words are: designate, infuriate, pacifist, restrict, and wither.


Smiley: The withered pacifist will become infuriated if I designate that he is in restricted area.


Sherbert: The wilted peace-lover will become enraged if I decide that he is in a limited area. The


last set of words are: motivate, slake, terrain, vow, and waylay.


Smiley: On the way to the waylay we took a vow never to be motivated to slake our thirsts while we were on dry terrain.


Sherbert: Translation: On the way to the ambush we promised never to be provoked to satisfy our thirsts while we were on dry landscape. Okay Smiley, that’s all the sentences for today.


Smiley: Does this mean we get to say fragments now?


Sherbert: No, Smiley, it doesn’t.


Smiley: Darn. I really. Wanted to. Speak. In fragments.


Sherbert: You do realize that just because you speak like that doesn’t mean it’s a fragment, right?


Smiley: So what? Bye peoples! Thanks for listening! Next time bring me some ice cream!

Fun With Words! (2)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley's Fun With Words! I'm your host Smiley the Raccoon.

Sherbert: And I'm your co-host, Sherbert da Fox. If you heard our first show and are still listening, well, there's only one thing that can be said. You clearly don't know anything about quality.

Smiley: Sherbert, you don't need to have quality to have a successful talk show. All you need is a subject to talk about. And that brings us to today's subject, FUN WITH WORDS #2!

Sherbert: Thank you Smiley. As you probably know, Fun With Words is when we pick a whole bunch of random words and put them into sentences. The first set of words are: sheepish, depict, incomprehensible, hypocrite, and contemporary.

Smiley: I told the contemporary hypocrite to depict an incomprehensible sheepish smile.

Sherbert: For those of you who don’t know what Smiley said, it means: I told the modern pretender to sketch a misunderstood shy smile.

Smiley: Don’t you just love my sentences?

Sherbert: No. Next Set of words are: adverse, groundless, stamina, maximum, and encompass.

Smiley: I have adverse fears, including a groundless one about a stamina filled runner encompassing me at their maximum speed.

Sherbert: The translation to that sentence should be I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m saying, but since it’s not I can’t say that. The translation is: I have unfavorable fears, including a reasonless one about a strength filled runner surrounding me at their highest possible speed.

Smiley: I think I’m getting good at this. Do you think so too, Sherbert?

Sherbert: No, I don’t, Smiley. The next set of words are: mimic, constrain, confront, disinterested, and serene.

Smiley: Due to the serene area, I was disinterested in confronting the mime who wanted to mimic me when I constrained my dog from jumping in front of a car.

Sherbert: Due to the calm area, I was aloof-

Smiley: ALOOF!!!!!!! That is an AWSOME word! Can we do a talk show thing on words?

Sherbert: Smiley, we’re doing a talk show on words right now and you just interrupted me!

Smiley: We are? Cool! Hi peoples of the world!

Sherbert: May I finish the sentence, Smiley?

Smiley: Yeah, what makes you think you need my permission? It isn’t like I’m gonna interrupt you or anything.

Sherbert: Now, that Smiley’s done with her epiphany, and before Smiley interrupts I’ll say it for her, epiphany is a cool word, I’m going to start the translation over: Due to the calm area, I was unconcerned about facing the mime who wanted to copy me when I restrained my dog from jumping in front of a car.

Smiley: That’s a weird sentence, who came up with it?

Sherbert: You came up with it, Smiley, and you’re going to come up with one more too. The words are: arid, assailant, billow, manipulate, and ruffle.

Smiley: In the arid desert, I manipulated my assailant to ruffle his hair and let it billow in the wind.

Sherbert: In the dry desert, I conducted my attacker to mess up his hair and let it wave in the wind.

Smiley: Can we close the show so we can eat some of that pie.

Sherbert: What pie?

Smiley: The pie that I brought in to eat, duh!

Sherbert: Okay, thanks for listening to Smiley’s Fun With Words!

Smiley: Bye-bye! I get to have pie and you don’t! HA-HA!

Sherbert: Wait a minute Smiley. You don’t even like pie.

Smiley: I don’t? Oh well, bye peoples!

Fun With Words! (1)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words! I’m your host, Smiley the Raccoon!

Shurbert: And I’m Shurbert da Fox, Smiley’s co-host.

Smiley: Today we are starting a new show thing. It’s called, Fun With Words!

Shurbert: Fun With Words is when we ‘enrich’ our vocabulary by saying random words, in random sentences, with randomness.

Smiley: Now that we know that, I’m going to start. Bring out the Random Word Picker Thingy!

Shurbert: The words are: inept, phase, oaf, muffler, and recede.

Smiley: I don’t know any of those words, but here it goes. I am such an oaf that I’m inept at receding from phasing mufflers.

Shurbert: Wow. For those who don’t know, Smiley doesn’t know what she just said, and neither do I. So I’m bringing out the Sentence Analyzer Machine.

Smiley: Analyzer is an awesome word. Why wasn’t that one of the words? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shurbert: Smiley’s sentence means this; I am so stupid/ clumsy that I’m unable to back up away from developing scarves of wool or other material worn around the neck for warmth. What that’s supposed to mean? You can figure that out for yourselves.

Smiley: We need to go on to the next set of words!

Shurbert: Okay, the next set of words are: apparel, douse, ingenious, instantaneous, and forsake.

Smiley: My instantaneous plan was ingenious; all I had to do was douse my apparel with water and refuse to forsake my swimming pool.

Shurbert: That’s some sentence Smiley.

Smiley: Thanks, I try.

Shurbert: I’m sure you do. Let’s translate that sentence. My instant plan was clever; all I had to do was drench my clothes with water and refuse to leave my swimming pool. That makes so much more sense then before, doesn’t it?

Smiley: More words!

Shurbert: Compress, expressly, immense, misgiving, and famished. This will be a hard one, Smiley.

Smiley: Ha! If ‘The’ wasn’t my middle name I’m sure ‘Hard’ would be. So here you go, my ‘hard’ sentence: I expressly compressed my immense misgiving of being famished.

Shurbert: The translation to that is: I plainly reduced in size my giant fear of lacking something.

Smiley: See, I told you I could do it.

Shurbert: Yeah, you sure showed me. The last set of words are: denounce, gainful, coincidences, libel, and sumptuous.

Smiley: I denounced my sumptuous friend of the coincidence of the libel that was sent to me and the inability to have any gainful products.

Shurbert: I accused my rich friend of the correspondence of the false statement that was sent to me and the inability to have profitable products.
Smiley: And you thought I couldn’t do it.

Shurbert: You’re right I did think you couldn’t do it. And I still think you can’t do it.

Smiley: You’re mean.

Shurbert: Thank-you for listening to our show!

Smiley: You can’t close the show, only I can close the show!

Shurbert: Smiley’s Fun With Words!
