When you say "big," should I count syllables or letters? Anything over 5 letters goes into the glossary?

Even though we have folded the Havenmaster back into Lumptonia, the former HC, now Citizen Shar (but you can call me Rosebud), we may find in the future a need for a come hither dance, should any others try to escape...er, I mean feel the need to leave.
Have you ideas for the dance? Is it choreographed? Don't be too advanced for us, please. I can grasp the Lumptonian walk (I can even lift my head while doing the walk), but I don't know how much fancier I can get.
My most grateful thanks to our Choreographer.
> How could the Politically Correct Prime Ministress overlook putting racer's name in the 'Come Hither' Dance being choreographed? Deep apologies - I think perhaps the speed conjured up by the name was just too much for the P.M. to contemplate.

Having experienced yet another rapid outburst of decomposition, it is with great infection for our people that the Ambassador would like to offer the following hymn...
Lumptonia The Pupatal
So pupatal the nation lies,
No alpha wave of brain,
Or surplus 'mounts of energy
Beyond the rooted frame!
Lumptonia! Lumptonia!
God scared her face on thee
And frowned thy mood
With lumptitude
From she to sighing we!Long Live Lumptonia!
Your Ambassador B, De Composer

Greetings to All of Lumptonya (alt. sp.) - Your Prime Ministress has been off in other nether heather scented better weather, researching Febreze and its efffect when directly used upon the body. The final test is yet to come, to wit, to our wit: I have managed to substitute a small rounded tipped nozzle for the regular spray nozzle, and will be eager (a bit overstated perhaps) to ascertain the results as Our Wit, to wit, Lambrador, uses such implement. And I would like to point out that though the Ambassador during his zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs seemingly made the sound, "poot", in fact it was certainly not as harmless as 'poot' might bring to mind. I hesitate to actually write out the word which best describes the actual noise emission - suffice it to say, it was gross, disgusting, and everything that our beloved Ambassador would hope it to be.
In abeyance (alt. sp.)is being kept the hypnotic dance for bringing straying Lumptonyans back under the banky.
Your loving P.M. and Nat'l Choreographer

I'm beginning to think our beloved Labassador is incorrigible. He has taken his punishments without complaint, made himself a plush dog house with cable, and continues to revel in making the citizenry blush, cringe, wince and groan with his revelations.He almost seems to enjoy being in the dog house, where he can take it easy wrapped up in his blankie, with his Lumpy Basket, favorite squashy pillow, and universal remote.
We may need a council meeting on this issue. (Wrinkling my brow in confusion....)
However, to give credit where it's due, he has come up with some wonderful hymns of late.
Humbly submitted,
Her Quitterness, the Former Herstorical Curator and High Priestess of Research, now Citizen Shar (but you can call me Rosebud)

I'm thinking a council meeting is just what the vet ordered. It cannot take place in the PB chatroom, being as how His Pooterness is Mac tweaked and unable to avail himself of that chat. So we'll have to have the meeting by message. Our ever-present reminder of Spring, the Rosebudian perhaps should set the time and day and date for the alleged meeting. The Prime Ministress and National Choreographer salutes Her Quitterness and Rosebudianess.

Dearest Lumptonian People,
After a few days of comfortably staring in one spot, the Ambassador was shaken from his restful state to semi-cognizance by chocolate withdrawals. After refueling on coffee, M&Ms, Kit Kats and Milky Ways, the Ambassador decided to change his "Country Spice" plug-in and read the latest Lumptonian news.
On finishing the news, the Ambassador researched the meaning of the strange, french-sounding word "Febreze" and subsequently deduced that since his unfortunate health-food incident, he has been the butt of many fowl-smelling jokes. The Ambassador had thought he had cleared the air of concern regarding any continuance of his cavital crooning.
The Ambassador was particularly astonished by the strange, french-sounding invention of the Prime Ministeress; the ingenuity of which she seemed to imply she would like to demonstrate to the Ambassador personally. The Ambassador would like to suggest that first she test the new device in the Most High Orifice Of The Prime Ministeress, in order to see if it works. Perhaps additional testing could be provided by the our beloved Flutious-Maximus, her Quitterness, as well as our adorable Couchly Paint-Shaker, Sterling CPE! The Ambassador would be MOST pleased to assist!
Nevertheless, it is obvious that the Lumptonian populace has thinned out recently. The poor Ambassador sadly accepts responsibility for this mass exodus. Furthermore, he would like to ONCE AGAIN allay any whiff of fear which may exist regarding his nocturnal melodiousness and invite the people back to Lumptonia. Hopefully this further repentance and a strict Lumptonian diet will suffice to prevent such nationwide panic in the future.
His Fragrance,
Ambassador B

The Ambassador has most def. misinterp. the Prime Ministress - there would not even be an impersonal demonstration of the device, let alone have the P.M. closer than a 10 foot BiPole. As the great sage DingDong saith: ' Too much fiber in the diet interferes and breaks the quiet."
The P.M. thinks it very wise of the Ambassador to eschew any more healthy food.

The Rocking Horse.

Speaking of rocking horses, the first annual running of the Depression Derby at Lumptonian Downs is temporarily halted (no pun intended) since the racecourse has apparently disappeared, as have the contestants.
I think the Rocking Horse is a smashing suggestion!

Dearest Prime Ministeress Emmanuela,
The Ambassador would like to thank you for your warm, reassuring words. You have greatly reduced the nervousness and stress level of the Ambassador. Perhaps we should arm our National Militia with your devices in order that we may better defend the sofas of our land. Although his is only eight feet long, you are still welcome on the Ambassador's couch anytime.
Once again the Ambassador would like to assure the Lumptonian people that he is all better now. His feistiness is well in hand, the health food incident has passed and he is cured of incorrigibility. Additionally, he is diligently searching for metaphors he may use as replacements for innuendo sort of the way Lumptonians search for pie when they've run out of chocolate.
Perhaps NOW we Lumptonians can get back to the business of our great nation. We have much to lump about.
Your Ole' Ambassador,
Mr. B

8 feet long? It's no wonder then that he is Our Ambassador. Coral, as Prime Ministress, I was recently handed a document in which the reason for the halting of the running was stated. The original spelling was 'haltering', but as I speak many number of languages, I soon understood it to mean 'faltering.' And the contestants were witnessed leaving en masse, or in mess, through the gate, in the Lumptonian gait, to wit, arms hanging frontwise, back wearily bent, perhaps sobbing, perhaps not, and seemingly, as it was told to me, they seemed to have no direction in mind, nor place at which to arrive.

>Dearest Emmanuela and Citizens of Lumptonia,
While the Ambassador refuses to be tricked in replying to the beguiling words of the Prime Ministeress ONCE AGAIN, he does agree with her that it seems the poor Lumptonian people have lost their way somewhat. Perhaps it would help for us to turn our brief attention spans to the unfinished business of our nation.
Below you will find an incomplete list of info and statistics about Lumptonia. Many of these items need some form of final determination. Some need further elaboration. The list is not complete so there is also a need for further additions to it. In some cases we might need two, three or more alternates to the choices below.
The Ambassador wonders if anyone has continued to chronicle the modern herstory of our people in their land and journeys since our beloved Herstorical Curator "retired".
In addition we could use some sort of a dictionary, an organized compilation of Lumptonian habits, customs and sacred institutions. Also needed is a complete list of government officials, religious figures and quitters...if anyone feel up to me. As for myself, I am exhausted. Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhewww!
Of course it almost goes without saying, "Think not what Lumptonia can do for you, but think of what you can get others to do for you and Lumptonia".
Feeling a nap coming on now,
Ambassador B

There could be no candy bars to better represent Lumptonia than your nifty nominations, Almond Joy and Mounds.
I believe the legendary ballad you've so beautifully introduced them with also might qualify as our "National Ditty or Jingle", huh? The nomination of these fine chocolates are seconded, gobbled up and duly added to the new, updated list below by the Ambassador!
On another note, the Ambassador would like to point out to the people that our nation is two weeks old today. Happy birthday Lumptonia!!!

Yes Oh Dutiful Grrrrrrrrrrrammarian, P.M.,You are absolutely correct! The Ambassador meant "..working WITH his cherished Sterling'. With, with, with with, with!!!
The Ambassador would like to compliment the PMs keen, bird of prey-like, observation. The Ambassador has noted how quickly she rushed to his side and reported the Ambassador's faux paw to the entire nation of Lumptonia. How does one manifest such obvious dedication? What reward exists for such a person? (paws)
To answer the Prime Ministeress' question ONCE AGAIN, the Ambassador's FAVORITE COUCH is the thing that is approximately 8 feet long; otherwise he obviously would not be in the ambassadorial business, but in the movie business. It is the longest thing in his dog house except for the new stick he uses to turn off lights, turn on the Ambassadorial coffee pot and retrieve stuff he drops.
Continuing to be good even in the face of the mounting pressure,
Your devoted Ambassador, B
