Hospital.
Italian.
Hospitalian.
A medical facility where the food is enjoyable.
Also, it's where you end up when the mafia tries to make you sleep with the fishes, but you just end up taking a nap with them.
(Sleep is to death as nap is to coma?)
Pain.
Analogy.

Gandolfinished
Gandolfini.
Finished.
Gandolfinished.
Is he? Haven't seen him around much since The Sopranos ended.
Mafia.
Finale.
Mafinale.
But a glance at his IMDB page says he's still doing fine, working regularly.
Cinema.
Manifold.
Cinemanifold.
Also, the most of his name sounds like he's a wizard from Lord of the Rings, so perhaps it's magic that's sustaining him, as the Italian Gandalf.
Ad Hoc.
Hocus Pocus.
Ad Hocus Pocus.

Sundaeneid
Sundae.
Aeneid.
Sundaeneid.
It's a dessert that is written poetic in some kind of meter called
"Dactylic hexa-" like this for example with cherries on top for y'all.
Virgil.
Gelatinous.
Virgelatinous.

Logicalzone
Logical.
Calzone.
Logicalzone.
Origin story: a reasonable person accidentally dropped a pizza upside-down on another pizza and decided not to cry over spilled dairy.
Mozzarella.
Relaxed.
Mozzarelaxed.
This person remained in the calm zone, subtracted the "m" from that phrase, and a new food was born.
Handy.
Denotation.
Handenotation.
(Better than calling it double upside-down pizza cake, or the Italian burrito.)
Burrito.
Italian.
Burritalian.

Volcanorexia
Volcano.
Anorexia.
Volcanorexia.
These mountains hardly eat anything.
(Just the occasional virgin sacrifice.)
Purity.
Ritual.
Puritual.
And sometimes they spew.
(So it's more like bulimia, actually.)
Stomach.
Magma.
Stomagma.
Eating disorders can be dangerous.
Just ask the people of Pompeii.
Graves.
Vesuvius.

Nunchuck E. Cheese
Nunchucks.*
Chuck E. Cheese.
Nunchuck E. Cheese.
Something that can make a child's birthday party even happier, but not for them.
Unless they have pleasant dreams, certainly possible when knocked unconscious.
Ninjitsu.
Surely.
Ninjitsurely.
* More appropriately spelled "nunchaku," I know.
But there is no obnoxious child pizza franchise named "Chak U. Cheese," unfortunately for us all.
It could have been a great Italian/Asian fusion restaurant.
Italia.
Asian.
Italiasian.
Especially for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Japanese fighting style, love of pizza, AND as a bonus, a horrible location that would make most people unhappy, just like the original Chuck E. Cheese does.
It takes a certain something to eat here.
Sewer.
Warriors.
Sewarriors.
(See also Pepperonin.)

Decoderogatory
Decoder.
Derogatory.
Decoderogatory.
"Guinea" is a slur.
"Pig" is an insult.
But "Guinea pig" is a cute little pet.
Or a cute little pet name for your Italian chauvinistic boyfriend.
Guinea.
Neato.
Guido.*
Or an experimental test subject in an experiment that you're conducting on your Italian chauvinistic boyfriend.**
Perhaps making him run through a maze.
Labyrinth.
Enthralled.
Labyrinthralled.
* Guido.
Don't.
Guidon't.
** Especially if you're dating a cute little rodent.
Bestiality.
A Little.
Bestialittle.
Conclusion of experiment: date a rodent, not a chauvinist.

Michelangell-o Shots
Michelangelo.
Jell-o Shots.
Michelangell-o Shots.
Maybe he was drunk when he painted the Sistine Chapel.
There's always room for Jell-o.*
Especially in a giant room full of God.
Deity.
Eatery.

Miscellaneous.
Ousted.

Assorted ideas that (almost) became aborted ideas:
Inepter. Pterodactyl. Inepterodactyl.
A flying dinosaur that can't even go extinct right.
Smell. Elephant. Smellephant.
An odor that you never forget.
Lasagna. Gnarly. Lasagnarly.
Bad Italian food.
Jihad. Hades. Jihades.
A comedian who bombs with 72 afterlife virgin jokes.
Alphabet. Abetting. Alphabetting.
Helping someone learn to read on the down low.
Tornado. Adorable. Tornadorable.
A cute but deadly whirlwind.
Balding. Dingo. Baldingo.
A balding dingo.
See?
Interactivity. Vitality. Interactivitality.
If you have any words you're interested in seeing combined in this blog, feel free to communicate your desires.

Digitaly
Digital.
Italy.
Digitaly.
High-tech futuristic boot-shaped country.
(Boot shape necessary for kicking lots of ass.)
Especially compared to past when immobile boot was stuck in the middle of Pangaea.
(Boot had its ass handed to it from all around.)
