Let's Play Tips with Friends

You know that game Words with Friends?  I used to complain cause you can pound letters until they fit, but now I like that.  Wanna play?  Look me up under TipArt.  Cause that’s my name.  Also, be warned that I haven’t signed the Geneva convention and I’m not above doub-tripling Qi or Jo.  Just saying.

Prometheus

I’m talking about the old Prometheus, not the American one.  Everything went downhill after we invented fire.  But that’s ok cause the lowlands are where all the money is.  Sweet, sweet money.  (srsly)

Drop

Darling, how ’bout a drop of tea?  Or maybe an afternoon shower of acid rain?  Prefer the rain?  ME TOO>

Atoms

Bob | July 2nd, 2010 | .Tips, Probably WMDs

Legend has it that when atomic anthropologist Enrico Szilárd found the first natural chain reaction in Gabon in 1355 he wrote in his journal (this was before the lowercase letter was discovered), “FORGET CRYSTAL FLASH> PUT THIS NATEURAL [sic] CHAIN REACTION INTO THE BOMB.”  For this he won that year’s nobel prize in poetry.  It wasn’t a particularly beautiful phrase, and he spelled natural wrong, but at that time there was no prize in WMDing and everyone agreed he should be honored for suggesting such a dangerous weapon.
