Silly! Fun! Sillyfun.
This looks almost as silly as all-terrain croquet.
And almost as fun.
Also, for your linguisitc trivia of the day:
Who knew that portmanteau was the term for two words combined to make a new one with elements of the sound and meaning of both the old words? Such as cyborg or blaxploitation.
A portmanteau is an old-fashioned leather traveling case, the kind that is built sort of like a trunk and can stand on end to make a kind of portable closet so your clothes can hang.
Lewis Carrol first used the word to talk about language in Through the Looking Glass. Talking about the Jabberwocky, Humpty Dumpty explains the word slithy as "Well, slithy means lithe and slimy ... You see it's like a portmanteau - there are two meanings packed up into one word."
I like it.
