I might be a little rusty..

I haven't played this in a while but felt compelled to for some odd reason... (Please interpret as: she needed a distraction from housework!) (Holy crap! It has been a long time...) Today's word is: RANK And this is what popped into my head before reading the definitions. (You mean besides the smell coming from the back of the basement closet? You know, the one you haven't gone through yet cause you're playing word games?) I'm gonna put you in the basement closet... (HA! No room, good luck!) Hold on... wait a minute. (You were about to tell them what you instantly thought of... focus woman!) I know! I know why I felt compelled to do this! (Oh good grief... here she goes...) Don't tell me to get on with it I've just had an epiphany! A EUREKA moment! The proverbial lightbulb -a lovely blinking Christmas one at that- just came on! A revelation! Hark-the-Herald-angels-can-you-hear-the-trumpets-a-light-shines-down-on-me-from-the-parting-clouds moment... get the picture? SEE!! Moi, on a nature walk, clouds part, angels, ray of light TADAH! (I'm sure they do. Now, get on with it already! Before "Dear Reader" clicks the "NEXT BLOG" button.) (Hey! There's no snow in that picture! That can't be ...) SHUT UP! It's because of Free Rice -see how I worked that in there!? (Matt-man is right.. you're like a crack pusher... of course Jeff was nicer about it.. we like Jeff, he's nice) Hey voice.. who's rambling now? (harumpffffffffff!) I know, you figure this is the confirmation that I'm certifiable, that I'm off my rocker, that I'm losing my mind... (They figured this out now? gee how perspicacious!) Great... just great! The "voices" from The Couch got past security and snuck in the luggage compartment.. I can hear them like squirrels frolicking in the Christmas tree... oh crap in a hat! (Turnbaby says that.. not Mister "watch-me-cook-gravy-in-my-kitchen-in-my-socks". Now get on with it...) Maybe, but the "harumpfffff" gave you away, don't think I didn't notice. You see, playing the Free Rice word game had me seeking out other variants of word games, and Mo's Manic Monday fits! Ok.. I'M ready now... (finally...) but you have to remember to go play and feed the world! (you really are indefatigable, pertinacious, tenacious and persistent aren't you!) I'll make PROSELYTES (converts...) out of you before long. Even the smartass in my head benefits from the Free Rice word game it seems. Where was I? (I'm not keeping track anymore - that "NEXT BLOG" button looks appealing and inviting.) Oh yes, RANK! As I was saying, this is the first thing that popped into my head when I read Mo's selection: Rank(noun): a row, line, or series of things or persons: orchestra players arranged in ranks. (That's it? sheesh!) Enjoy visiting other Manic Monday participants! Love you all more than my luggage! Hugs, smooches and gropes!
