More Honorable Mentions

More Honorable Mentions for Week 705 of The Style Invitational, in which we asked readers to write things using only the words in "The Cat in the Hat," or words consisting of combinations thereof:

It is always a hit-and-run thing for me. I hit on them and they run away from me. (Chris Doyle, Ponder, Tex.)

"Want some tail?" asked the man. "You will like her, I know."

So Sunny came to me and said, "Let us go."

She got out of her gown. "I do not have all day."

She sat on the bed and said, "Now let us play."

We did not get it on. You would think that I could --

But my shame and my fear did not let me get wood.

-- H. Caulfield, no fixed address (Ned Andrews, Danville, Va.)

What they say at NOW: "It is good when they are gone; we do well without them. But not always. They do have one thing we want now and then." (Kevin Dopart, Washington)

Mother, you play a sad game. You find these cold fish and make them your pink playthings. You shame us -- me, Sally, Pat. We go white when we hear something new. "She did what? With who? When?" We wish you would stop, but no. Deep down, you know the day will come when your tricks run out. Not for nothing do they call you the Fox. (Rory Ewins, Edinburgh, Scotland)

Gore'd have you think that he came up with the In-for-mat-i-on High-way and that he was on top in two-oh-oh-oh. Well, let me tell you, it was me who made us what we are to-day. -- G.W.B., Washington (Kevin Dopart) [Gore'd: go-red, see?]
