A tag challenge for our bloggers

Here’s an idea. If you go to your blog homepage, you’ll see in the left margin the ten commonest tags used on your particular blog.
The challenge: to write either a blog post, or a reply to this topic if you prefer, that incorporates all 10 words in a paragraph of no more than 100 words. (If you do it as a blog post, include a note at the top to say what you’re doing, lest we confuse non-blogging readers.)
The most humerous or imaginative – as judged by me – wins a card game themed around cell types.
Just a bit of fun.

I came up with this.

Signalling right from his wobbling bicycle, the peer review turned into the open-access network. Unfortunately he did not hear the taxi driver’s gobbledygook so went publishing downwards into a web. How did biology create such a wonderful arachnid as to create this work of beauty?, he thought, as the signaling gateway in his cell phone fizzled out, together with the web 2, as was its nature.
BTW, I got these off “rising tags” (list of 10) and am sure that this list is not the same as “most used”, more like “most recent”. Hence the repetition (eg I had signalling and signalling gateway – tough one). But I did my feeble best, though having to redefine a couple of words.

I just posted my try here
Time to run to the lab now.
Ciao. -
Alright, I bit: 100 words exactly!
-
I posted a reply. But I’m not happy about it.

Ï’m waiting until “dialectical materialism” drops off my list of tags.

Aarrggh I just did this without reading the guidelines closely. I’m sure I’m way over 100 words. I’m not doing it again though, I already had to type the damn thing twice because hitting the preview button wiped the whole thing.

I don’t blog here (thus far) so fail to qualify before Matt’s whistle.
Anyhows,
One day (2007), I was networking at a conference. I had no web so I improvised. Using the research tools that I had, I called on my regeneration skills to awake potential co-authors in music terms.
With regeneration on the Banks O’The Clyde advancing, I rested on the Clyde (Wil)banks for a cigar.
2.0 minutes later, health commons floated by and someswan told us that the biology and publishing ships were around corner.
Music ahoy said the black swan.

What I want to know is, what happened between 8 May and 29 May? Why was it so quiet, and why did a lot of people suddenly join in together. Not morphic resonance, surely?
-
“Dialectical materialism” has been replaced by “of”. So I found I could do it in 10 words.
I’m happy about it, but would be happier if I knew what it meant.
