Elder G<\/strong> wanted to welcome us today with a poem and a game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WLBOTT: An Ode to the Elders<\/strong>

W<\/strong>inds of wisdom weave through twine,
L<\/strong>ofty laughter lifts the line.
B<\/strong>affling brilliance, bold and free,
O<\/strong>ddly orbiting destiny.
T<\/strong>ethered not, yet bound by jest,
T<\/strong>ime may turn, but we jest best.

The Game<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Elder G<\/strong> chose 7 random nouns that began with each letter of WLBOTT<\/strong>. S\/he then created images that contained these nouns. The game – see if you can guess the words. (Answers below). Note:<\/strong> not every picture has all seven, but they all appear in the gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Answers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
W<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For the letter W<\/strong>, here are seven random nouns<\/strong> to start the WLBOTT <\/strong>challenge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
          Ah, a vowel\u2014excellent choice! I have a soft spot for O<\/strong> (perhaps because it\u2019s delightfully round and full of possibilities). Let\u2019s roll with O<\/strong> and generate seven random nouns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Octopus<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

              \"\"<\/figure>
              \n
              Here\u2019s another fresh batch of seven random nouns<\/strong> for the letter T<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Tiger<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

                \n
                Since WLBOTT demands two<\/strong> sets of T<\/strong> words, here\u2019s a fresh batch of seven random nouns<\/strong> for the final letter T<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Tarantula<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
