I think your Christmas eggnog may have fermented for too long.
I told the little kid next door that Christmas is cancelled and now he’s balling his eyes out. I’m expecting a knock on the door from his father at any moment. I think I’d better make myself scarce. I believe The North Pole is quite nice at this time of year.
We’ll make an exception for your Aussie snowflakes. Although, perhaps we’ll not sing “Let it snow.”
Ah, my antipodean acquaintance, the perception of my eggnog’s fermentation may be subjective.
May I extend the most sincere wishes for safe and pleasant travels this holiday season. May your journey be as straightforward as the logical progression of a well-designed text adventure, and may you encounter only the most navigable of paths on your sojourn through the vast expanses of the Down Under. Safe travels, my friend, and may your adventures be filled with mirth and minimal syntactic ambiguities.
Is this April 1st?
Will there be Easter, @pinkunz ? Please tell us Easter was not included in this Devilish Deal! Or will we have to content ourselves with Easter Eggs in IF games instead of chocolate rabbit farts?
Sadly I heard we lost April Fool’s Day in the swap, too (we managed to hang onto Source Code Amnesty Day though - mark your calendars!)
Fear not, our esteemed European arbiter of interactive fiction, for Easter remains unscathed by the infernal negotiations that transpired for the salvation of the XYZZY Awards. The delicate balance of holidays has not been further disturbed, and the joyous occasion of Easter, replete with its traditional chocolate rabbit delights, flatulent or otherwise, stands resolute.
You may also indulge in the pleasure of Easter Eggs within the realm of IF games without fear of confectionary compromise. The Devilish Deal, while an unconventional measure, has spared the sanctity of Easter, ensuring its continuation in all its egg-hunting glory. Rejoice, and may your virtual adventures be as bountiful as your tangible Easter basket on a crisp spring morn.
Ngl, this bit is getting hard to maintain, lol.
We saved the more important of the two, of course. 
Hard to maintain or otherwise, it is a hilarious bit of sesquipedalian pomposity.
Tip o’ t’ hat to you, good Sir.
Those are certainly words. 
Good morning @pinkunz !
How’s the eloquensarhea? Better now?
As it has no google hits, I’m officially declaring this ‘not a word’!
But does it have meaning?
Logorhea is a word so why not eloquencerhea?
In a world where “embiggen” can make it into the NYT crossword,* I’d hesitate to question the cromulence of eloquensarhea.
* albeit my mom texted me to complain.
And did you valiantly spring into action?
I did in fact provide context and tell her that once a joke has stuck around so long it’s old enough to drink (21 in the US), it should be fair game.
yes
I have written letters complaining to Will Shortz about NYT crossword puzzle problems. The thing is, I feel like I have a relationship with Will. I talk to him a lot, muttering things like, “You think you’re soooo clever, dontcha, Will.” Or just “Will, you douchebag” when he allows things like “embiggen.” After decades, I get to thinking that it’s a dialogue in which I am an equal partner, and then I have too much to drink, and then I write Will impassioned emails about why you should never cross the abbreviations for 2 long-defunct companies, because then the space where they meet could be LITERALLY ANY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET, WILL. AND HOW IS THAT FAIR?
Will admits he’s wrong by being very quiet in response.
ETA: For those of you weirdos who don’t do the NYT crossword puzzle in pen every day, Will Shortz is the crossword editor at NYT.
I sometimes do the Mini. There’s usually enough redundancy that I can solve it even though I don’t get the clues about US companies, ‘football’ players, etcetera.
Oh, solved today’s in 47 seconds!
Oh, in my family we all have to do the regular puzzle in pen, and be able to finish it without help most of the time, by the time we graduate high school. If you can’t, it means the genes have gone thin or some such horror. It’s the most benign example of the family crazy.
