Need a break from politics, thinking, drinking? This is the thread for you. It will deal with


yes, you guessed it


BULLS HIT.

Notice how cleverly the word has been separated and now become two other words that give the original word a new lease on life, when life is ya know. Have a good weekend, good Easter for those of you who follow that tradition. Y'all keep well.

That's a bit dangerous isn't it Peace? I mean, hitting bulls?

You'd have to get up close to them (unless you're going to use some sort of weapon) and then it would be more a case of them hitting you and they've got those sharp pointy bits that could do a LOT of damage...........

I don't believe I know the band "The Bulls". What hit have they put out?

Well, it's a good job you pointed out the space in between the S and the H - otherwise I would have come up with all sorts of rubbish!

I'm now taking this thread seriously and trying to think of other words that can be split :-)

Happy weekend/Easter.

Hitting bulls is dangerious. Ask singer Lyle Lovett. One of his bulls charged his uncle and was in the process of stomping him. Lyle had to jump in front of the bull to wave him away. He ended up with a broken leg. True story - don't try this at home.

If you're a svelte tennis star, you "win some".

If you're just sitting in the audience you "hand some".

If you're a wino mooching the audience, you will "bother some".

And when the wines got chosen first, how do you think the "Rums felt"?

(That was cheating...).

Uh, yes, I agree the thread idea is brilliant. However, it's not my idea. Came from a Herman cartoon. Fellow had just finished painting a sign which read KEY POUT. His boss just looked at him.

Oh, no one actually SAID it's brilliant. Huh!

I will be gone for a few days. As usual, I know in my heart of hearts that you will key pit on topic. (I did lots of things in the 1960s that I shouldn't have.) Hope y'all have a good break.

Funny! But not legitimate for the purpose of this thread which requires typographical coherence, not just phonemic coherence in the old and new forms presented.

I know, App.Lady - when I worked at an answering service we had a gay counseling group called New Directions for Men. It was all I could do to answer their phone professionally while saying Nude Erections For Men!!

Clothed erections can be a bit uncomfortable, depending on how tight the clothing is. Nude erections are, on the whole, preferable, seems to me.

Now, how about the guy whose name was Hugh Jass?

And then, of course, there's the notorious Mike Hunt. Smartass males in big companies are forever passing a note to some poor woman to read over a P.A. system...

"Has anyone seen Mike Hunt? If so, please inform the head office at once."

Not quite what you are looking for but just after Nine Eleven I saw a hand written sign in a shop window "God Bless America" It was so poorly written that at first glance I read it as "Gobbles America".

Of course that is how I now read every "God Bless America" sign.

Do you know something? I'm finding this *really* hard to do! Maybe I'm trying to divide the words off in the wrong part, looking for the 'natural' break in them rather than the hidden one, but my brain can't do it! GRRRRRRRRRRR!

Boys! Is it my imagination or is there some serious dwelling on certain er..areas...going on in here? ;-)

My eyes are fair crossing with visions here! :-)
