paliament onomatopoeia anthropology

In today's news: Parliament has announced wide-ranging restrictions on fields of study and academic pursuits. Many disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology and psychology are now technically illegal. On a lighter note: a resolution has been passed which will remove particular words from all published dictionaries and prohibit their use in public conversation, because they are "frivolous and unnecessary" - the forbidden words include 'poetry', 'rhyme' and 'onomatopoeia'.

refracted reprehensible remuneration

Refracted light brightened the work floor, as glass blowers shaped fire into glowing loveliness. Little did they care that their reprehensible manager had made off with last months’ receipts and was even now climbing the hills of the next province. They must create beauty, no matter how little the remuneration.

intensify quark manumit

Before my hunger could intensify further, I took a break from Mallory. I absentmindedly cut a wedge of quark to have with my baguette. Blissfully unaware of the cheese's state of microbial abundance, I was shocked when my stomach suddenly decided to manumit its contents.

profligate bier apricot


The profligate necrophiliac wasted no time in making her way to the crematorium. There in the viewing room was the bier supporting the encasement which would carry Ron Jeremy to the hottest role of his career. Oddly enough the formaldehyde had a slight tint of apricot to it, which coincidently was his favorite flavour.

The boys at baseball camp couldn't help but notice Barry Bond's hypocrisy as he told them to stay away from steroids. Some were floored by the incredulous notion that he was not a user. If these boys follow in Bond's path, it could be apocalyptic for Major League Baseball.

stevedore existential spondylosis


Working on the docks late on evening, the Stevadore noticed a growing pain in his back, after years of existential, honest working, unloaded barges and ship containers, he was diagnosed with spondylosis, or spinal ostioarthritis.

(3 sentences, Drew?)

Evenessence fracture wizardry

When Evenessence took the stage, the audience gratefully forgot the opening band. The lead singer’s voice soared, and a stage hand close to the speakers noticed a sudden fracture in his beer mug. Some technical wizardry had amplified the vocal quality to vibrate deep within the thick porcelain.

fallacious parcel peripheral

The underage trollop kept trolling for johns, lying about her age and thus intent on committing, um, fallacious acts. Oblivious, I walked by, parcel under arm, wrestling with cell phone and PDA, trying to call the home office and complain about not receiving my paycheck again. Now, the question for you, dear reader, is this: which story shard is peripheral to the other?

Some of the offspring of the Viles kept to themselves, while others were a magnet to the manipulations of Lord Foul. The bellicose nature of the ur-Viles made them a perfect fit for Foul's vast armies. Their deep pharyngeal utterings were more like snorts than true speech, but awakened fear in the hearts of their enemies.

Very good, ur-bane. If I had more than ten minutes this morning, I would tackle those evocative words.

tenacity labernum imputation

The old trapper, kept hiking with virole tenacity. After that run in with the poisonous labernum though, he was almost spent. If it wasn't for his nearly relentless imputation, he would never have gotten himself into this mess.

wavelength dioxin brethren

The Daily Land reports that a certain wavelength present in the Sun of Pestilence is particular cause for alarm. Researchers discovered a harmful dioxin that may cause Sunbane-fever even without exposure to first light unprotected by stone. In order to reduce the risk to all the Stonedownors, Woodhelvenin and their brethren, a new Sunbane-block is being developed.

terracotta tabulation cacophony

Taking in the terracotta statues with greedy eyes, Nathan began tabulating in his head the huge riches which would soon be coming his way. Unfortunately the roof had other plans and promptly fell in a cacophony of stone and dust, destroying Nathan along with his riches.

Thomas Covenant felt more like a particulate in the oil rather than the oil itself. He was a mere cog on a giant gear of the Land's machine. He wished he could have abdicated his reponsibilty and returned to the machine he knew:his real world.

pesto resilience intensity

It was while macerating the herbs for the pesto that the aging chef pondered his rheumatism. The loss of resilience in his joints was now showing to others. He was ashamed to admit that the intensity of his malaise had caused the sous-chefs to quietly assume most of the repetitive tasks in the kitchen.

disgorge ewer semaphore

The acid in the tainted vitrim caused Linden to disgorge the entire content of her stomach. The water-filled ewer that was provided by the waynhim for drinking was now overflowing with putrid bile.
Linden's arms flailed like a semaphore to get the attention of the nearby waynhim so the stoneware pot could be removed.

The serving-maid walked serenely over the table, carrying the ewer confidently and efficiently. She leaned over to disgorge the frothing contents into the waiting mugs.

When her foot slipped, her calm expression changed to one of shock - as she struggled to keep her balance, her arms flailed wildly, as if to send a semaphor for help.

It would seem that I am indulging in a bit of continuance. Yes, that's right, this thread isn't proprietary. With that in mind I decided to take a break from my normal taciturn nature and add three sentences.

That's it. I'm gone. Rename this thread "The Thing With No Guidelines and Plenty of Teenaged Acting Out".

Properly played, the Sentence Game is a thing of challenge and beauty. I've been thinking about setting up a place where it can be played in its pure form. If I get five votes from people who want to meet the challenge of turning out sparkling entries within the laid-out guidelines, I'll do it.

I think we need to backtrack a bit. Some threads within this game are dispersible. Those who know what I mean may want to hit somebody with a spanner.
