OK - We had a superb August - With lots of help from our friend jbouderwocky.... Danke, mein freund..

Let's lighten up the game plan in September.

I love to play with words - Let's see first of all how many different types of word plays we can muster up on this thread - and who wants to play - then we'll roll with it...

Who's in? What are your preferences???

Sum fun will be had by all!
