MM and KM Links December 2008 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, from North to South Pole!

Welcome to the beginning of the third week in the reign of Lady Slaney, who is off to pastures new for a couple of weeks! More on that tomorrow. Before she went, she left with me two weeks' supply of Links Words and gave me carte blanche to make whatever adjustments that I felt were necessary! [Very unwise] Hence, I shall launch the MM Links posting on her behalf tomorrow morning at 8.45am and declare her words for linking at the usual time of 9.00am. The rest is over to you.

I hope that things will go smoothly, but as some of you regulars may know, my Sunday's posting last week of answers and scores was banned from AB as being "chatter". As soon as I realised what had happened, I fired an email of explanation and as far as I am aware, it has been restored and there should be no repeat this weekend ~ but nothing in this life is certain!

I shall get down immediately to the business in hand before I attract undue attention. If all goes according to plan, the words of Lady Slaney should be declared at 9.00am and I should close the game down at 7.00pm on Sunday and score the entries. Furthermore, seekeerz will open the posting of the international version of this same game which is called KM Links at an earlier time. In this case, the words to be linked come from the Herculis crossword in the Daily Telegraph. Here, the predictions are processed by our very own Wizard(ess) from Oz, seekeerz.

As I always say, "Why not chance your arm at both Link Games?" They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards. There are over 40 regular entries every week and newcomers are always welcome.

Until we meet again, may I wish you all "Happy Linking"!

:o)

That was great - I love those cracker jokes - it's beginning to feel like Christmas now

[Magyar]

What's Santa's favourite hobby?

Gardening, because he likes to hoe, hoe, hoe.

[twix123]

Not a joke as such but an Eric Morcambe one-liner:
'I always help my wife at Christmas, I pluck the turkey, truss it and stuff it. Then all she's got to do is kill it.'

[Christiana]

I thought I'd make my parting shot as I retreat from the shrubbery, a suitably school marmish one.
What does a teacher call Santa's little helpers? Subordinate clauses!

[Magyar]

I either need to learn how to type faster or just to sit back and chortle at the others, Pauline's beaten me to the gardening joke now.

Why does Father Christmas always go down the chimney?Because it soots him!!!

Who looks after Father Christmas when he's ill?
National Elf Service.


What is Rudolph favourite day of the year?
Red nose day

[Magyar]

Rudolph the Great, a Russian tsar, was standing in his house one day with his wife gazing out his window. He turned to his wife and said, "Look honey, it's raining." She responded, "I don't think so, dear. I think its snowing." But Rudolph, confident that he knew better, said to his wife, "Let's step outside and we'll find out." Lo and behold, they stepped outside and discovered that it was in fact raining. Rudolph turned to his wife and replied," I knew it was raining. Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

Chortle Magyar!!!....I keep groaning!!! :-))

[paulineward]

Magyar....that has to be the biggest groan in here tonight when I read that out!!! Love it!!!

[twix123]

What is the best xmas present in the world?

A broken drum, you just can't beat it!

[paulineward]

twix...you actually made Reg laugh!!!

I just love this ...keep them coming!!!

[Christiana]

I like that one Magyar, even though it made me groan. And it was far too long for anyone else to pre-empt you. Now I really must go to bed. It's snow joke if you're too tired to function for the MM Links.

[paulineward]

What do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman?
Frost Bite

Why don't reindeer like penguins?
Because they can't take the wrappers off!

[paulineward]

Well you have been busy Christiana...you may be excused!!

[Magyar]

Goodnight Christiana. Think I'll be off now too, been a long day and some of these jokes have now just about finished me off. Goodnight all

[twix123]

Good night you early birds, I've still got a couple of hours to go to think of some more corny crackers. Good luck with the links in the morning.

[x-ray]

Must go to bed now. Thanks everybody for a most enjoyable evening in the shrubbery, it was a good laugh.
See you all in the links games tomorrow......and you all have a wonderful Christmas, plenty to eat and drink - I think you've used up all the cracker jokes though.
You can't beat the old ones.
Goodnight.

[paulineward]

Magyar....before you go...did you see me and Kay...posted earlier?

Kay was totally to blame!!!

Father Christmas lost his umbrella but he didn't get wet! Why not?
Because it wasn't raining!

What do you get hanging from Father Christmas' roof?
Tired arms!
