“Excrementitiously mephitic”????
  
Joan?  Carl?  Ron?  Saundra?  Rose?
  
Multiple syllables and no pictures.  Help.
  
I knew I should have acquired a liberal arts minor when I had a chance.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

A Plaintive Plea to All Fair-Minded Vision 2020 Readers and in situ Judges:
  
Since using the word "excrementitious" last week, I have been sorely bested by others who chose to make a contest of finding better, more appropriate uses of said word.  I admit it:  Joan Opyr, Ron Force, Saundra Lund, Carl Westberg, and others have made my offerings look extremely amateurish.
  
Therefore, I beseech you, fair-minded readers, to allow me one more opportunity for an entry and at the same time keep you informed about important events at the Cult of which you may not have heard:
  
"On December 21, 2004 Christ Church Cult members celebrated the Winter Solstice and gave Worshipful Homage to the god Lucre with a potluck.  The featured dish at this gala, black-tie affair (of which dish all present were encouraged to partake by the burrowing, terror-inducing glare of Cult Master Douglas Wilson) was an excrementitiously mephitic casserole concocted by Splotch Blakey (who, according to unconfirmed rumor, once arose as high in life as an apprentice cook at Kennel-Ration)."
