(1) Burger and root beer? Whatever floats your bloat!
(2) The Man in the Moon casts a giant shadow that can swallow a human whole. You’re lucky it only took your mouth.
(3) Forget about Dad’s root beer. Drink Bud’s real beer instead.
(4) Wendy’s old-fashioned burgers come from the meat of old cows that fancy themselves fashionable.
(5) Old-fashioned word: “Woord” (Dutch) / “Wort” (German).
So the “man in the moon” isn’t you, but he has your mouth….and now you have to be fed intravenously? Sounds like a great way to lose weight, but probably a bit too inconvenient to compete with Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig.
‘Also a unique perspective is above logic Sadje – ‘So the “man in the moon” isn’t you, but he has your mouth….and now you have to be fed intravenously? …..
Mate, if you need a magnifying glass to see that enormous drink, perhaps it’s time to make an appointment with your Optician. Unless the moonshadow has nabbed your eyes already.
The old-fashioned word for bloated was flibbertigibbet, I believe. Or perhaps cattywampus. I’m currently being followed by a moon-shadow . . . um, moon-shadow, moon-shadow.
It would have been better if the moon shadow just stalked you without stealing anything.
But whaddaya gonna do? That’s moon shadows for you.
(I found tumefied too, but obviously your very first commentator brought it up already, lol )
Though I did feel bloated–LOL!
Nice to see you looking confused by a food item again, tref! I think I can help clear up that confusion: Get a straw! ;)
Hah! I went back to look it up. I had no idea what was on that page. But yeh, it still holds true. I will follow back and spend some time reading your blog, as well. Thanks, Rugby
Finally getting a little caught up here, going through many posts… thanks for all the smiles and chuckles! (And now I’ll be singing Moon Shadow for the rest of the day. 😄 And that’s a good thing — it’s a favorite of mine.)

Strange, I was just humming that song this morning. That moon shadow is everywhere! :)

Funny, that was the original title, but I began to doubt if that word had ever really been used by anybody. Thanks, MM

Don’t tell anybody else, but It’s a Cat Stevens song from the 1970s. Maybe not as well known as I thought.
