Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests

I think it is more like a candied scorpion. On still alive enough to sting your tongue while you're chewing it.                     
Or that great deal on an amplifier. The one where too late you discovered was a nesting place for Brown Recluse Spiders...       
Or that really nice chair you bought at St Vincent, turned out to be full of bedbugs, and now, since it was in your son's room, you have a houseful of bedbugs..The car has bedbugs, Your Parents have bedbugs, and everyone at his school has bedbugs.. Sadly you never heard of bedbugs before the teacher called and told you your son is a walking bedbug nest.... You wondered what all those marks were?
Uber, "five minute" as modifying "argument" is likely better as "five-minute." And "argument" has only 1 letter "e," while "full half hour" might be better as "one-half hour" ("full half" is the same as "half"). Lol
