ONLY SMALL CONNECTING WORDS ARE LEGAL

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 05:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Example:

A salty extramural homicide;
for the luxuriant courier,
a dehydrate for iconoclast parsley,
with the dinosaur, impeccable
debating progress
over bootstrapping mouthfuls.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 05:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Fun! I'll take the liberty of capitalising where it may suit:

Luxuriant homicide henchmen
Arose to deliver the redcoat
By courier.
Impeccable dowager Fredericksburg
has a salty mouthful
of ambassador o'connell

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 5 January 2004 05:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Ambassador Dinosaur, the bootstrapping dowager
with mouthful of finny Atlantic dish,
arose,

the debate disastrous,
the flogging improper,
the pilgrimage gratuitous,

and delivered a homily
on the redcoat's luxuriant eyelash.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 5 January 2004 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

those are fabulous! more please!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 05:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Salty incantation via
improper packets,
advises bilinear Atlantic flogging
under saturnine heretic eyelashes.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Iconoclast, heretic, egghead--
indecent Ashley of Fredericksburg,
advise the philosophers.

The debate's progress
is aqueous (brownian!)--
saturnine babble.

Behave equivocally.
Clarify "eigenstate."
Shock the polloi.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 5 January 2004 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 06:23 (twenty-one years ago)

"Ambassador!"

The henchman arose,
grasping his expectorant.

"The heretic Hubert
and that indecent dowager Carolyn
are advising homicide!

"Disastrous! A shock! Behave equivocally!

"An improper flogging,
or a mouthful of salty Atlantic."

THE ICONOCLAST

SAUCY PROCTOLOGIST: Scissors!
SWEDISH CLARENCE: A pillow?
SAUCY PROCTOLOGIST (laughing): Grasp this betrayal--ignominiously delivered to tiny Fredericksburg, New Hampshire. Igloos! Tractors! Waiting silently... hourglass counting.
SWEDISH CLARENCE (quietly): A blanket?
SAUCY PROCTOLOGIST : Indecent dinosaur! Ugly bastard! (smack)
SWEDISH CLARENCE (unbelievingly): A flogging. A betrayal. Indecent.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 5 January 2004 06:56 (twenty-one years ago)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 06:59 (twenty-one years ago)

oh no I was just reacting to the fact that there were more words, not calling for yet more!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 5 January 2004 07:04 (twenty-one years ago)

sub-atomic knot: friction
an ugly map of bastards

(this one is kind of an ode to Schroedinger's cat)

O, theoretical kitten!
Small, arcane ambassador!
Mars Rover to that sub-atomic Disneyland!
The charlatan philosophers (bastards),
laughing and waiting,
clarify your gravestone.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 5 January 2004 07:23 (twenty-one years ago)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 07:33 (twenty-one years ago)

ignominiously exhaustible
the hirsute philosopher
quietly counting
silently waiting

an indecent charlatan
an iconoclast
a heretic

his heaving torpor
an expectorant shock
blood and glottis
a lugubrious mouthful

the henchman forward
suddenly the sabre
an ugly gravestone

― dean gulberry (deangulberry), Monday, 5 January 2004 07:59 (twenty-one years ago)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Nevertheless, the prince arose with an exclamation.

ambassador! ambassador!
advise the redcoats of this homily!
let us progress this disastrous pilgrimage!
we are vilified!

A determined speaker ...

oh, the haunt of incantation!
rampant babble!
and debate!

... full of saturnine comedy ...

i am your surreal mirror!
a lime glass eyelash!
a pink metal kitten!

... and a tube of laudanum.
