So here we go rollin' into another Wednesday WORD PLAY. I just thought that since we guys are blessed with an 'abundance' of thangs, yes that's thangs, that this was the perfect word for today. The word is: plethora!
Usage: I have to say I am blessed to have the plethora of men in my life....oh baby, life is so good these days. Add the plethora of family that I have and all I can say is I am 'SOARING!! Stay tuned for tomorrow's post that will show a portion of that family plethora. Now could I have used plethora one more time...oops, I just did!
Again, the "play" portion...any comment you leave must use the word plethora in it. Your response can be about anything ~ the post, me (watch it!), something about you, something happening in your life. Knock yourself out thinking of something serious, humorous, or off-beat to comment about. Just have fun with it!

I have a plethora of things to do today; and will be tied up until at least 8 this evening. But I'll try to give you a ring after 6 your time.
All I could think of was the movie (Three Amigos?) in which the one character who has a lisp keeps saying plethora.
I have a plethora around my midsection, unlike Tony who has a plethora a little lower. Or at least that's what Mike said from that picture he saw.
I have a plethora of tasks I need to do with my PC. Burn all my LP's to CD, do some spoken recordings for my niece, [GASP!] clean my computer desk! I need a vacation from work to get it all done!
With my new purchase two weekends ago, I have a plethora of dishes for a single man! Bet ya thought I was going to say something else didn't ya...
i like using the word plethora. it has an ancient and lofty air to it. I have a plethora of patients and then a plethora of evening chores and then a plethora of Jack R photos to scrutinize. I will send you the betters....
I'm just thrilled with the plethora of Democrats that are now in the House of Representatives.
I will just quote Cher when she sang Turn Back Time on the farewell tour, and everyone threw sailor hats at her "There is a plethora of hats!!"
How about ... There are a plethora of things I would do to you if I ever got you alone.
Would that be correct usage?
Ricardo Montalban, where are you when we need you?
Rich Corinthian Plethora?
Thankfully, with the election over, the plethora of campaign signs will be removed.
Hehe, my first thought was about the Three Amigos also.
You can check outa plethora of pictures of my travel in my blog. :-)
I'm back Tony!
And Agnes Moorehead as "Plethora." No wait, that wasn't it...
I have a plethora of things to be thankful for today. They are the plethora of voters who just created a plethora of changes in our government. They removed a plethora of corrupt politicians who have taken a plethora of money from special interests as well as a plethora of our rights.
I also have a plethora of posts to catch up on here at Life's Colorful Brushstrokes so I better run.
This is fun!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day Tony, I'll be back!
What a plethora of comments using the word, plethora!
I'm liking that other word "superfluity".
