Note: This challenge was an idea I got from our own Mr. Chris Pine. Thanks, Chris.

There are a variety of letters hidden/ghosted in the above image. Some letters appear more than once. Some letters don't appear at all. This is a two part challenge.
Part 1
Make the longest word possible using the letters that you can find in the above picture. If there is only one 'a' for instance, your word cannot contain more than one 'a' in it. However, if you find two of the letter 'a' in the picture, then you can use two 'a's in your word. If you use a letter that is not in the image, your score will be a 0 and you cannot win.
Part 2
Using the same rules as above, you may choose two bonus letters (any two letters that you want, regardless of whether or not they are in the image) and make a 2nd word. You MUST identify what bonus letters you are using, and then provide the 2nd word. Again, if you use a letter that does not appear in the image and it wasn't one of your bonus letters, you will score a 0.
Your score will be calculated as follows:
(Number of letters in first word) X (Number of letters in second word)
Thus, if you score a 0 for either section, your overall score will be 0! So be careful not to just use letters that you think are there unless you are fairly confident. Using a wrong letter is a huge risk that could lose the challenge for you.
Kathy, your penalty is that your second word score will be shortened by 1. Chris, as outgoing HoH, you will sit out.
If there are any questions, post them here. Otherwise, I need a word for part 1, a word for part 2, AND the two bonus letters you selected for part 2.
Ties will be broken by me submitting your FIRST word into Google fight to see which word produces more hits.
If any contestants submit the same words, their scores will be divided in half (to discourage sharing of words).
All words will be entered into dictionary.com to confirm that they are acceptable for this challenge. If you search them and they are not in dictionary.com, then use a different word.
Good luck!

That's why I'm demanding some change! Congress will NOT ignore me! >
