And now, it's rhyme time: trays

Let's see if anyone strays from the rhymes this time.  :)
Find my power line BAT thread here.
Check out the Noro Cooperative.  What are you waiting for?  It even has electricity.

Here are some rural power lines.

That would be the one who us betrays,
or the one who for the party pays...

He who rhymes a lot is the one who delays,
changing a letter is the only goal of these plays...

Thus, this writer takes a can of paint and sprays
the next word, upon which you may gaze...

Sounds like a plan!

I was once just a passer-by. It seems I'm now an addict.

I miss you, Adrian

Caution, An addict can become a spamer who can't spell.

As much as I love correcting misspells,
I have no other option than to add a letter and point out that you're a true a spammer... :P

Were you inferring, Mr Goober, that we, here in the civilised world, where we prefer drivers' licences to be coloured and to ensure that our cans are made of aluminium in the centre, so we analyse them, that we spell things incorrectly?

On that vane, the metric system is also better than imperial, so why don't you find a conversion rate for ounces to grammes.

I guess Australia and New Zealand just have it all right.

SimGoober

Ah but the metric system only works when you have the right equipment you see; as the length of the appendage at the base of my leg is exactly 12 inches, which truely makes it a "foot".

In any event the game must go on, and occasionally a letter is lost, for we rightfully are a group of gamers.

Ahhh, but true feet are not a foot long... ::) $%Grinno$%

The last phalanx of my thumb is 1.4 inches...
The appendix of my leg is about 7.7 such inches, or 10.7 standard inches...

And what is standard? Why only use Imperial inches?
I'd rather use the old Swedish inch, which is 0.974 Imperial inches...

Or the modern (back in the 19th century) decimal inch,
which was one tenth of a Swedish foot, or 1.169 Imperial inches...

The length of an inch in Denmark was 1.031 Imperial inches,
but in Norway it was occasionally up to 1.236 Imperial inches...

The Germans were close to the Brits by having an inch of 1.028 Imperial inches,
but in Saxony the inch was only 0.929 Imperial inches...

In Prussia the thumbs and feet must have been large... with a decimal inch of 1.483 Imperial inches,
and a foot thus being 14.83 "standard" inches...

Luckily the metric system merges all these equally standardized inches, except in a few corners of the world... ::)

Now, the next word derived from this would be metres or meters, but that would be rather unimaginative...

SimGoober

Ah... no wonder the women of the world complain that we men do not know truely how to measure things, for we cannot agree on a standard inch.  But we must all agree that in the contest of sizing things up, it sounds more substantial to compare a number of inches to a meager portion of a meter...

Let us take a megger. It's useless in this case but ... who cares? $%Grinno$%

maybe if you use it on the things an eggler sells - but then again ...

RippleJet

As sure as eggs I won't put all my eggs in one basket...
Otherwise I would only have eggs on my face...

And never teach your grandmother to suck eggs...
Especially not bad eggs, those unattended by two-legged creatures called hens...

SimGoober

Ahh.. the twisted pathways of my shattered mind, as soon as I saw that last incarnation of our ever evolving word, I immediately thought of an old DCI classic... Legend of the One Eyed Sailor....

And here I thought SimGoober was the real legend around...
A blue devil batting shops and selling pets, mostly two-eyed ones...
...those that kids want pairwise, of both male and female gender... ::)

I tried my own hand at BAT, the problems began when I went to render.

Ah, summer is here, and the kiddies are out of school.

Mom and Dad don't know what to do with them, as the kids act the part of fools.

So they send them out to patrol the shopping centers, where they believe it will be cool.

We pop a stamp on their forehead and kick them out the door... "Return to Sender"

I found this game over at Simtropolis
but their version only has single words,
and a two post rule that's already nudged us.
Why do I get the feeling we're all nerds? ;)

Maybe because we are $%Grinno$%
Still we could also just do what everyone else does like herds
RIP Adrian (adroman), you were a great friend
