    Puzzlers are getting harder and harder to come up with, because (a) the internet in general and Google in particular make almost any question answerable, and (b) Gus Sainz knows everything.

    So, as a departure, at least once, let's try creativity and see what happens.

    An article about some urban dictionary gave the five most important new words of 2003:

    embedded
    governator
    bling-bling
    fo'shizzle
    metrosexual

    The challenge is to use them all, more-or-less correctly, in one sentence. Semicolons permitted, probably necessary.

    Winner chosen by purely subjective opinion of Bear family. Prize is an autographed Bear book from the degrees or cooking genre, or the forthcoming degree mills book but that'll mean waiting until mid to late summer.

    Responses by Feb . 1st. Post 'em here. Decision of judges final.

    The governator, embedded in the state's highest office, displayed his bling-bling whilst his staff fo'shizzle of the limelight, downplayed his comments in an effort to garner the metrosexual vote.

    Personally, I don’t think that a puzzler, whose obvious intent is to mock our esteemed governator by implying that he is fo' shizzle a metrosexual just because it is rumored that every morning he takes more than three hours to coif his hair, apply assorted wrinkle creams to his face, and arrange his bling-bling just so, is at all appropriate, and we should instead defer to the accurate reports from the journalists that were embedded in his campaign.

    This is precisely why I have retired from these puzzlers. :D

    embedded
    governator
    bling-bling
    fo'shizzle
    metrosexual

    While it is generally acknowledged that the new governator of California has foregone his previous pursuit of bling-bling to be firmly embedded in politics, it is fo'shizzle that this rabid self-acknowledged metrosexual still finds time to get his "hands on" the finer things in life.

    Brian-who had to quit lurking to actually post for this contest!

    Our newly elected governator wanted to display his prowess by proving to the doubtful masses that he was not a mere metrosexual who was unable to spell "potatoe" embedded himself in a spelling contest at a local elementary school yesterday, when asked to spell "fo-shizzle the moderator informed him that he mis-spelled the word and needed to sit down, the governator rudly replied go bling-bling.:confused:

    During the recent California gubernatorial campaign, the governator appeared to display his metrosexual side by wearing a jeweled pink ribbon label pin in support of breast cancer awarness; however, feminists quickly dismissed this gesture after an L.A. Times journalist embedded on the campaign reported hearing a young woman stepping off the campaign bus state that the candidate was also "sportin' some bling-bling on his ding-thing, fo'shizzle, grizzle."

    As governator, Arnold embedded in California state law the right to metrosexual bling-bling and public fo'shizzle.

    This just in from the “Sorry, I Simply Can’t Resist” Department:

    Despite their best efforts, and much to their dismay, his handlers were having a difficult time getting the new governator up to speed on the new urban terminology because he kept insisting that “metrosexual” was the subway that took you to the red light district in Paris; “bling-bling” was the name of his favorite childhood toy—a trolley car (which he still owns and plays with every day); “fo' shizzle my nizzle” was an affectionate “street” name for Liza Minelli (much as J. Lo was for Jennifer Lopez); and that his use of the term “embedded” was absolutely correct when the magazine article quoted him as saying, “I had four of embedded at the same time, but times were different then.” :D

    To concerns voiced from Condoleezza Rice over Arnold’s perceived lack of sensitivity, Arnold replied, “Fo’ shizzle my nizzle, I just had a Fab-Five, queer eye makeover, and I think my new bling bling attests to my metrosexuality, and if, on the other hand, you have any doubts about my masculinity, then the governator, er, governor, would suggest you ask the many women in Caleefornia whom I have embedded, or have attempted to embed, if you know what I mean, before my metrosexuality became an election necessity.”

    A person who has trouble differentiating the real world from the movies (nobody like that in California) might say this:

    Fo'shizzle, the governator's recent penchant for bling-bling is
    a departure from its normally metrosexual ways; perhaps the
    behavior change is due to a fault in its embedded processor.

    Mr. Bear.

    I just wanted to take this time to tell you that I think your a gentleman and a scholar, not to mention a great author.

    The other thing I wanted to mention is that Gus Sainz is cheating. He has posted three times already !!! not that I'm counting or anything.

    How's that for bling-bling ? :cool:

    Interim comments. Delightful stuff coming in.

    For whatever it's worth: there is actually a store in our new mall called "Bling Bling" -- looks like a franchise -- and all they sell is bling-blings.

    And here's a lovely definition of "Fo'shizzle" from the Urban Dictionary:
    -------------------
    "Fo' shizzle ma nizzle" is a bastardization of "fo' sheezy mah neezy" which is a bastardization of "for sure mah n*****" which is a bastdardization of "I concur with you wholeheartedly, my African-American brother"

    Creating a sentence using the words embedded, governator, bling-bling, fo'shizzle and metrosexual is a waste of time.

    Did I win?

    What about egress?

    Dr. Bear,
    I guess it is too late to include the fun word egress highlighted by the NASA mars spirit team over the period of Dec 02 through Jan 03? They kept mentioning preparation for rover egress out of the mars lander and onto the martian landscape. I guess we can add it to the list for 04.

    Second (and last) entry:

    Fo'shizzle the governator is a metrosexual; one of his bling-bling, sporting his last name, is so heavy, it's practically embedded in his chest.

    In the Sunday paper, they had the 5 words that are "out" as of 2004 - funny enough, bling-bling and metrosexual were 2 on the list!
