Random Wordplay for Wednesday 1/27/10

Miss Congealiality.

Used in a sentence: "Did you catch Mary J Blige on American Idol the other week when she was discussing one of the contestants with a beauty pageant past and referenced how she won Miss Congealiality?"

Omitting the n-letter here put a completely different spin on whatever contest that poor girl won. My random mind wanders as it wonders ... was it a bunch of folks with body dysmorphic disorder who were cutters and competed to see whose wound healed first? Was it some True Blood style "Fellowship of the Sun" contest trying to find the fastest congealer as she would leave the vamps unsatisfied? Was it simply product placement and SPAM sponsored that part of the event (those of you who have opened a can of processed meat and scraped off the goo before get this one)? Anyway, we all make mistakes -- and Mary J is an amazing performer who often gives me chills when she sings, so no disrespect intended to her directly. I'm expecting more of the same this Sunday when she duets with Bocelli.

addendum --> Voodoo (or irony, depending on your belief system).

Used as subtext: "After posting, I went to get ready for work and cut myself shaving. It won't stop bleeding! I take it all back, Mary J!"
