Weird Sentence Contest

[]UBC[Frootlupe]

Here it is.... the weird sentence contest. Just type in your weirdest sentence right here.

RULES:

1. The sentence has to at least vaguely make sense. No saying stuff like: The albino girls all jumped on the trampoline until they ran out of grape juice, so they all unhitched their moo-cows and flew into the wild blue yonder, wearing their flip-flops the whole time.

2. No abusing any participants because they may not be very good or may be better and you're jealous.

3. Please only post your odd sentences in here. Don't want to somehow end up with a YouTube video of a masterbating monkey in here .

4. You have up to two odd sentence submissions. Once everyone (all the participants) has posted all the sentences they want (maximum of two again), I will add a vote to the thread. Clanmembers and/or visitors will read ALL of the weird sentences, and this is to give everyone a fair chance, they will be allowed one vote. YOU MAY NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF.

5. All participants and spectators must have fun. Those who do not will be shot. Those who only pretend to have fun will be strapped to a chair and forced to watch Blue slowdance with their oldest living female relative in the nude to ZZ Top's Greatest Hits (trust me, naked slowdancing plus ZZ Top is really uncomfortable to watch. No I do not know from experience, jeeze).

I will now be corteous and allow for somebody else to start first.

Please do not just steal these sentences from random websites you may find. I want original work here .

Why would your albino girl sentence not count? Makes sense to me.

Are the albino girls naked? Becouse then it makes totally sense to me ;D ehm..

DILLIGAF!

[abercrab]

Ok, try this one. I can explain every part of it if need be so I think it falls under Froot's 'has to make some kind of sense' stipulation.

The albino girls sentence doesn't count because you cannot fly moo-cows like planes and running out of grape juice does not normally stop trampoline jumping. I must say, though, that it was a very odd sentence.

It basically has to be possible.

Alright, since Crab was brave and went first, I will now take my turn.

Here it is: The ambidextrous lab squirrels eagerly took part in the semi-legal testing of mammal mitosis, which will one day double hamburger production in Uruguay and decrease the prices of traditional Japanese Geisha makeup.


That was completely original. If you don't understand any of it, I shall explain, but then it won't seem so odd .

I still think your albino girl one is possible. 'Flew' doesn't always mean flying in the air and I could see running out of grape juice as putting a halt to trampoline jumping. That's a thirst generating activity right there.

Hehe, your new one sounds like something that could show up as a headline on CNN so didn't create as odd a sensation for me.

I'm probably breaking rules again since this isn't even a sentence but thinking about weird sentences reminds me of haikus so here's my next entry as one

That isn't even a haiku, dude. The syllable pattern needs to be 5 7 5, you have 5 7 3. As you stated, it isn't a sentence, and therefore, even if it was in the correct haiku format (perhaps I'm reading it incorrectly??), could not be counted. I will let you keep your second submission because I'm nice like that .

And since Crab mentioned haiku, I need to make one too .

I used to think there was a rigid syllable requirement as well, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case. There are a couple of other things besides syllable structure that actually are more important in making an 'official' haiku. I don't 100% understand them myself so I'm not going to try to explain them.

Thanks for counting it though, hehe.

Ok here is my entry for the weirdest sentence:


No, I'm not drinking this weekend and yes, i'm looking forward to work on Monday morning!!

Surely the winner!

[]UBC[Frootlupe]

Moosea - That is odd.....

Crab - Yes, it is the case . Search "haiku" using any engine and you will always see the rule. 5 7 5 is how it has always been and how it probably always will be unless Obama becomes head of the poetry department. "Change!"

P.S. I do realize now that my first sentence was a bit of a waste. I am now brewing up something amazing .

Hmm, I'm still going to disagree. Based on the following information that I've come across, I think mine is still legit.

In contrast to English verse typically characterized by meter, Japanese verse counts sound units (moras), known as "on". The word on is often translated as "syllable", but there are subtle differences between an "on" and an English-language "syllable". Traditional haiku consist of 17 on, in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on respectively.

The word onji (‰¹Žš; "sound symbol") is sometimes used in referring to Japanese sound units in English[5] although this word is archaic and no longer current in Japanese.[6] In Japanese, the on corresponds very closely to the kana character count (closely enough that moji (or "character symbol") is also sometimes used[6] as the count unit).

One on is counted for a short syllable, an additional one for an elongated vowel, diphthong, or doubled consonant, and one for an "n" at the end of a syllable. Thus, the word "haibun", though counted as two syllables in English, is counted as four on in Japanese (ha-i-bu-n).

Most writers of literary haiku in English use seventeen or fewer syllables.
