"I'm moving into a new apartment tomorrow," said Tom flatly.

I hearts me some reth.

(Not to take away from rethwyll's creative genius -- some of these double-entendre Tom Swifties are ART.)

I hypothesize that any "-ly" adverb can be Tom Swiftied. Care to try to stump me?

"Nice try, but my nickname ain't Mycroft for nothing," said Tom self-referentially.

I LOVE YOU ALL. For putting up with my dorky threads. :>

@Mycroft: how about pulchritudinously? I was staring at that one last night trying to decide if it could be done. :D

"Why is all this fog hanging around the side of my head?" said Tom mysteriously.

"I simply can't study for another minute" said Tom thoughtfully.

@Moose: "Alas, once again my wife is not pregnant" said Tom unexpectedly."

"Paul purchased a plethora of puppies," said Tom alliteratively.

"I need to scrape up all these bits off the bottom of the pan," said Tom fondly.

"Call that a hat? It looks more like a candle!" said Tom wickedly.

@-j: now you're just showing off. ;P

"We should simply replace the eleventh POTUS with Dolly Parton in our history books, " said Tom pulchritudinously.

I have a few other elements (involving fermented maguey beverages and being "rid" of "dudeness" or of "two dino's") but the sheer number of syllables makes it a chore to make a sentence (not to mention requiring a tin ear).

e.g., "The fellow on this fermented maguey beverage's label certainly has flushed skin."

"Could I interest the emperor in a cup of tea?" inquired Tom charmingly.

"Yes ambassador, of course we're still friends" said Tom diplomatically

@Mycroft - I'm impressed at the effort! Not to mention the fact that using "pulchritudinously" in a sentence is pretty much guaranteed-wedgie-ville. :D

"Give us dessert!" said Tom piously.

"I forwarded you a hilarious email!" said Tom resentfully.

"That stuff about the pirate talk is pretty uncommon," said Tom arbitrarily.

"Jane literate!" said Tarzan hurriedly

"This is the REAL colander," said Tom intrusively.

"Feel this teepee!" said Tom patently.

"I could put a talking tree on your cake" offered Tom enticingly

@Make Art: NERD ALERT.

"Please don't be harsh in your wordplay," said Tom pungently.

@rethwyll Actually I had to look it up. I Googled for something suitable.

@Make Art: CHEATER ALERT. Heh. ;>

"pungently" = GOLD STAR.

And I would have gotten away with it, too, if not for you kids!" said Tom shaggily.

@rethwyll: "That's odd, we learned about Norse mythology from the opposite guy," said Tom sorely.

@-j: I can't tell what's worse: the lisp puns, the mythology dorkery or the Tom Swifties.

Ah, hell, it's all bad.

@rethwyll: "I'm as chuffed as that 'Pride & Prejudice' lady," said -j. osten-tatiously.

"I took your risotto," said Tom derisively.

"I locate things for a living," said Tom profoundly.

"My libido works at record speed," said Tom fastidiously.

"I'm drinking my Earl Grey alone today," said Tom teasingly.

oh god, they used to have a section of these in the jokes page at the end of Boys' Life magazine every month. (That's the boy scout magazine for those of you who grew up non-nerdy/female)

"Yes!" chanted Tom progressively.

@rethwyll: your skills astound me!

"Oh, I'm never wrong" said Tom airily.

@scurvyman: Everything I know, I learned from Boy's Life. (And Nun's Life, for you Airplane! fans. ;>)

Another one for -j's pile: "This is one rebellious insect!" said Tom defiantly.

I love all of you.

@rethwyll Dur. Double dur.

"I can't go in for an angioplasty!" said Tom wholeheartedly.

@-j: "This insect is WAY off key!" said Tom dissonantly.

@Moosebacca: That reminds me of one I saw as an example somewhere: "They took both my left and right ventricles," said Tom half-heartedly. :D


"Why don't these size 8 jeans fit me?" Tom asked asininely.

"I'll let the grasshopper go first" said Tom hesitantly.

@-j: "Watch how far I can toss this insect!" said Tom flippantly.

"Old meme insect" said Tom irrelevantly.

"My dad just underwent gender reassignment surgery," said Tom transparently.

"Don't pay any attention to the insect and he'll go away," said Tom ignorantly.

"What beautiful pottery this hotel has," said Tom invasively.

"I missed all the insect ones, didn't I," said Tom belatedly.
