Style Conversational Week 1448: The Style Invitational Empress on the sports name winners and new limerick contest

However not a lot, really, for this week’s prime winners (aside from Robert Schechter’s runner-up worstminton: performed with a grenade). I hereby confer Immediate Traditional Aphorism standing on Melissa Balmain’s Marrython: The one endurance sport the place you strive to not attain the end line. It provides Melissa her one hundred and eightieth blot of Invite ink, together with her 14th victory, nevertheless it’s her first Clowning Achievement, the trophy we began giving out since December.
