The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 10, 2025

Brunch, spork, cockapoo.

Now I am hungry for alphabet soup!

Smog, Brexit, but what with ankles and calves?

We could have had Foke and a Foon.

They’re lost for words.

They have to make enough room to fit under the ‘Lewis Carroll Memorial Bridge’.

It’s good that they are doing this otherwise the problem would be compounded.

Nerdocracy.

Scrabble anyone?!

Brexit, smog, and cankles are complete. Spork, brunch, and labradoodle can be inferred.

Look, smoke on the water!

Love the pun! Poodleankles are when your sock fall down around and puddle at your ankles, so they look like that poodle puff.

Get a lawyer and write some contract-ions.

Just put the “smoke” on the water…

Please don’t do that.

Clever

FANTABULOUS!

This could be the inspiration for a podcast, or even a sitcom.

There’s glory for you!

It’s a good thing you don’t have to combine antidisestablishmentarianism

For those such as myself who don’t get this, portmanteau is a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, e.g., motel from motor and hotel.
