I hope everyone regardless of age and stage and health is having an ok summer !

I hope you can find time to relax by some water be it pool, lake or sea

“All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea”
- Bruce Cockburn

Many years ago my wife and I were marvelling at the moonlight shimmering on the water and we had an epiphany that perhaps rocked human civalization at least in the English speaking world .

Many words starting with the now amazing letters “g” and “l” captured the moment!

Gloaming
Glitter
Glimmer
Gleam
Glint
Glow
Glare
Glassy
Glisten
Glamour
and even Glorious !

These expressions have since been amalgamated and contracted into the simple expression that we affectionately call “gl”

We have swam in the “gl” on a brilliant sunny day . We have canoed through the “gl” on a starry night .

A couple of nights ago we were musing about the gl in the sunset

.And thus was birthed the Tale , dare I say LEGEND, of “Glen and the gl”

Now Glen was the youngest of a large family that lived by the sea.
He unfortunately stuffed himself with a bad batch of Irish Haggus (which for the purposes of this tale is a real dish)

Anyways, sadly he became delirious and wandered out into the night without his knickers and drowned

Cheers and have great August !

Whoa... like, sorta-kinda some nice poutine?

Also (and note, this coming from a long-standing person who walks around local farmers' markets, brandishing my Cookie Monster alter ego / puppet), politely demanding... cookie, COOKIE!!

So... probably it's Bob's fault in the end, highlighted by a glorious, fireworks display of confession!
Me? Gosh sake', can't we just let the lawyers sort this out...!

The names of the characters may have been changed to protect the innocent

*phew*, that was close

Anyway, could it be:

Glittering
Glugging (you know, how pirates drank their grog)
Glimpsing
Glyph-time (it's a spellcaster thang, can't say anything more right now)
Glurmphing (have you ever watched Big Al eat a box of hamburgers? if not, I withdraw the entry)
Glasshousing (so be careful there, matey)
Gleaning
The Glumming - (don't ask, won't tell)

So Bob (*huff puff*), is there a dang-ol' POINT to this game, or did I just accidentally pay your next months' rent / property fees?

Careful too much gl will addle the brain and make you go blind or something :)

Glitter makes the team for sure
And what the heck we’ll also include glassy for no extra charge

Its a stretch but Glen won’t mind

He he !
Perfect 👍

Glamping for sure !
 
@StevOz
The judges just added glamour (from glamping) to the list “enchanting “

Unfortunately glooming narrowly missed the cut this time..
 
@Gimli

Not to be glib, though I had to edit my glossary prior to glean ass to arse and glooming to gloaming...

So, eh... what are we trying to accomplish here, anyway?

Gear up some verbiage for the next Pig-Latin cypher, is it?
 
Well... is there at least a script?

Na I just thought it was fun to share but I didn’t ask my family so I took the video down

It was fun to riff a little with you guys !
