Thanks to iloveflash for this weeks challenge:

"Write a sentence about something that happened recently. Now expand on that sentence with as much description as possible. The longest sentence (that still makes sense, both grammatical and punctual) wins! The catch: only one comma, colon, and semi-colon is allowed, and you can only use "and" or "then" once."

Last weeks winneris GBArules, though technically your poem was about your experience as your wife gave birth, not about you yourself having birth. But who cares about technicalities!

Technicalities, whatever. Sorry I can't have babies. :P Huge sentences, fun.

Old: I got my Amazon package today.

New: While I was walking down the street up to my house the day before the day before the day before yesterday I noticed there was a package on my doorstep that contained items that escaped my memory, so I took it inside the house to see what was inside just to make sure I hadn't forgotten something or other in the past week like I usually do which is typically very annoying to me; when I opened it the mystery package turned out to be an order for Amazon.com that I had forgotten about roughly two weeks before because apparently those stupid guys at Amazon had lost the damn thing in the mail which happens to me all the time even though I don't really live in that remote of a place then I oened it and the Amazon package contained the following: two CD's I had wanted for a really long time.

Clauses are your friend. I could have made it much, much longer but I didn't feel like it.

(Wow, interesting challenge, and not an easy one. I'll see what I can do)

OLD
===
Finishing up an old game that I never finished.

NEW
===
I have had a lot of old games in my collection. My collection is ranged from SNES to PS2. I have been trying to go back through my collection of PSX games to see what games I have never finished. One game that I still need to get back to is "LEGEND OF DRAGOON". I still need to get back to this game to finish it when I can. Another such game is "Castlevania - Synphany Of The Night" which I have recently finished getting 200.06% map covered. I have heard of there being a way to get 210% which requires a trick ot glitch to perform. I figured at this point I will settle for what I got as far as map coverage for Castlevania. Yet another game that I also have not been able to complete is "Digimon - Digital Card Battle". It's a card game based on the hit anime series called "Digimon". The game that I am currently working on is the PSX remake of "Final Fantasy V". Like any Final Fantasy fan, I baught the game simply because it was Final Fantasy. I did manage to play the game so that I have all abilities mastered plus getting all the jobs mastered as well. I have not gotten very as of now since I do have a life & time is not always on my side. One other game that has been on my mind is "Jade Cacoon". This is a very ineresting RPG game which is very similar to Pokemon with just a few exceptions. One thing is that this game actually has a breeding system that makes monsters actually look different as well as being able to share and have abilities from both "parent" monsters. Here's hoping I can finish the game & be happy about the fact that it is complete & that it stays in the dust pile for a long time.

(OKay, I hope this works, I think I followed all the rules. Ane one more thing, you said only use 1 "AND", you didn't say anything about the "&" symbol. :P )

Aw, what a pity. You woulda beaten GBA if you only you had used the colon, semicolon and only one "and." But your post is clearly more than one sentence. :P I do apologize for not clarifying the '&' thing, but it should've been implied!

So sorry, but your submission is disqualified! You can try again if you like. Read the rules even carefullier next time!

Oh, so sorry, but YOU actually didn't make the rules up. And to think you sound like you were taking credit for this whole thing. :P Besides, it didn't state that we "HAD" to use the puncuations, it just says that we can only use one of the following. The only rule I did break was the fact that it was multiple sentences, so you got me there. :P

Anyways, at least I tried. But true, should have paid closer attention to the rules. :)

Judging from that response, I take it you didn't reread the rules or the post in general after all. So here it is:

Thing is, I'm having trouble motivating myself to make a long sentence that will at the very least be grammatically questionable. :P

(Ie. I'm lazy, and like excuses).

Edot:

I take that back, that was hilarious once I got going, great challenge! :D

BEHOLD THE (EVEN BIGGER) BEHEMOTH.

The other day I was like playing some World ofWarcraft with a friend who I'd known for many years on the internet but the problem with World of Warcraft is we're on like a Player Versus Player server so we are always having to put up with the horde who are complete idiots because they love to kill the alliance but the alliance are like these noble dudes so we can't really fight back cause it would totally ruin our reputation so we're forced to sit there taking all the pain the horde can throw at us but luckily my friend is like totally not some noble guy, in fact he's a bit of a **** so he just like logs his totally badass level 70 then rapes them from behind like they were underage age and he was a pevert: oh yeah the flesh totally burns yet at the same time is torn from their skin so it's totally freaking badass yet these dudes are always such god damn noobs so they totally don't give up so I'm not joking when I say we literally killed the same one dude 8 god damn times before the moron finally gave up but to be honest with you he didn't really give up so we just got so sick of him that we moved on but that's not all because recently we were like questing for three hours straight or something when right at the end this dumbarse comes up to us to start attacking us so like I was lagging massively so I couldn't do anything but eventually he logged his rogue so he killed him easily so we were fine but it still kinda sucked because when we handed in our last quests it turned out the next was like low level so there as no point in doing it; you see low level quets give like low exp so cause we've got three times experience thanks to invite a friend it's totally a waste of time to do them but cause we were pissed of it was like we'd just wasted 4 hours doing all the other quests cause we were only 20k from leveling up to do that quest which would have taken 5 minutes which would have got us the 20k exp but instead it would have given us like 5 so we just logged off to cry about it on MSN before contemplating slitting before going to bed but not together you sick pervert---now I know this makes it sound like it kinda sucked---that our day was no good---but by WoW it was good cause horde really can be pricks so on Friday when like 12 year olds are out of school so that they can stay up late they totally flood the servers with their absolutely stupid behaviour so it's even worse on a friday but all this dind't take place on a friday so it obviously wasn't that bad but it wasn't that great either but to give you an example of even worse times today (which was a friday) we were like just out questing again cause we usually like just quest cause I just joined so I need to level up so questing is the fastest way to get experience but the 12 year old horde morons were out in force cause they could stay up late without their mothers totally grounding them which means that they have more time to be pricks so we started off on a bad note cause we went into this cave to like kill these monkeys but there was this horde dude in there though we waved to him so he waved back (the horde can't understand us cause they're like stupid) but in due time he like called up all his 12 year old friends so they could come to kill us so that we couldn't do the quest so we had to move on but for the rest of the whole day they were like (not those particular 12 year old horde idiots but other ones too) stalking us but let me give you an example cause without an example you might not believe me so with an example it makes this sentence longer plus icnreases my incredibility dramatically---anyway we were like killing **** in the plaguelands so there were lots of zombies in addition to skeletons around cause that's like the exact result of all plagues cause I think they're spread by the horde not by rats but that's not what they teach you in school cause at school they teach you---well I'm not sure what they teach you---but I've lost my place---oh yeah I remember now we were like doing this quest near this graveyard---underneath the graveyard there was this rare mob going around who was invisible so when he killed us we couldn't see him which totally sucked but at least he wasn't a horde though it still sucked but anyway we kept dieing cause of him so eventually we moved on to the next place where we had to put some crap in a cauldron (nobody actually reads what the quests are everyone just does what it says) so we fought our way through a field full of plague ridden enemies but as we finally got to the cauldron some 12 year old retard decided to run up to kill us which was totally annoying so when we went back the enemies respawned on us which pissed us off even more--we realised that we could have made 3 levels instead of 1 by now if it wasn't for the 12 year old retards---but eventually we did it so it wasn't so bad but overall it was kinda bad anyway so I actually changed my mind---it was all bad so I did in fact slit my wrists this time which means this is written in my blood so ILoveFlash you should be happy I am bleeding.

Told y'all Foolz was relentless!

When I was doing the Writers' Lounge's weekly writers' challenge which was one week ago in two days today, I tried to think of the most fun challenge--as usual--and came up with the idea that we should try to write the longest sentences of our lives which I was pretty sure had never been done beore in a challenge: so I posted it up then like sometime later one of our new members who happened to be pretty active with pretty good writing skills--along with some good motivation--named gbarules came out with this long-ass sentence which was pretty good but he said it wasn't his full effort which I told him was bad because--he doesn't realize this--Foolz is totally after the first place throne for the Writers' Lounge's weekly writers' challenge throne--which I am getting tired of saying--so if push comes to shove gba would lose like a piece of **** when Foolz3h swings by becuz he's totally after the throne; if he keeps winning the challenges he'd get u|33|2 prestige points which I didn't like because I was always coming in second but I've wanted to come in first for--like--ever but just can't for some reason plus a half all the way back which is frighteening because I've been here for a few months now but no one can topple this bastard in this time era due to his incessant amount of "finesse"--which is total garbage in my opinion considering the number of nuclear weapons that have been developed since WWII--sure, I know that destroying a whole country just to nick this guy for first place is going a bit overboard but I don't think many folks would miss Australia considering they're like totally down under--which I've never quite understood up to this day--but I will digress seeing as how I am already way off tangent from talking about how gba got pwned by Foolz because he underestimated him--like I did oh so long ago--in the age of peanut butter when the union was just a wasteland--with few travelrs passing by--though at this point I must note that this sentence has--oh crap--totally run out of those things I was provided as weapons--which--oh my **** god--I can't even say or paraphrase properly--so I'm now resorting to the cheap use of dashes--along with talking off tangent--as Foolz and gba have already done--slightly--meaning to some extent--though I do know that you know that already----which means I'm totally effing clueless from where I left off before the dashes but I guess it was worth it somehow--maybe--perhaps--I think--or not--perhaps--I think--or not--think--maybe--------------------------------------------------------------------------------although I personally think he lacks any of that in spades here at the Writers' Lounge's weekly writers' Challenge--although he did very well pwn all of joo--both in prestige as well as rank--along with powerful abdomen----especially gbarules--who I did warn----but who am I to question when I cannot even win my own challenge?

PAWNED

Once upon a time a long time ago there lived a knight who was very cowardly in a brave sort of way which will be explained further later but anyway he was so cowardly that when his own mother was kidnapped by a dragon he ran away into their castle to hide in bed where he stayed for nearly three weeks in tears bewailing the loss of his very dearly loved mother who had given him life for nothing in return or so he thought but the people of the town around the castle thought otherwise for though they were poor they had a very strong sense of justice so they gathered together a band of their strongest young men to send to the castle to persuade him to come out though they thought he might resist which was why they sent their strongest you see but to get back to the story we must return to the castle where this group of strapping young youths was gathered busily trying to persuade our hero to emerge but unfortunately he was a bit deaf what with the constant crying for three weeks on end which causes no little swelling in the facial region which you will well know if you have ever cried yourself to sleep which I am quite sure you have as most people have some time in their lives like our poor hero who as I was just saying had become quite deaf from his ordeal so you see when the young townsmen called out his name he did not hear for over two days by which time even the most patient of the group were getting a little annoyed considering they had not had anything to eat or drink the entire time resulting in the loss of all their voices through over use which made them even more annoyed until finally the cleverest in the group who was a small young man name John Tiddle made a revelationary suggestion which was that they should go into the castle instead of waiting outside when all their mute shouting would be completely useless whereupon the other young men broke out into silent cheers of approval before storming up to the front door which they found locked but was soon unlocked by means of someone's very thick head which was applied forcefully to the door handle until they realised they should rather have applied it to the wooden bar nailed across the door which would have broken it much more easily but no matter for the door came down regardless of the blood allowing them entry into our noble hero's stronghold which I must mention was quite smelly by this time not to mention dirty not to mention unhealthy even for medieval types like our dearly beloved hero who by the way did suffer quite badly from asthma though it was not called asthma at that time of course but consumption which they thought was the one disease but turned out to be several but I lose my place far too easily so must stop that aside right here to return to the main action of the story which was now running up the stairs into our hero's bed chamber where he lay prostrate on his crumpled bed before screaming with fright when John Middle prodded him in the belly to wake him without realising he had in addition to a swollen face a very sore bread basket from the tensing of muscles which naturally occurs with any extreme emotion which I assure you our poor unfortunate hero had without a doubt been enduring up to this point when his emotion though still extreme changed from grief to fear causing him to forget his poor stomach for his poor breast which at this very moment looked to be in imminent danger of pricking with a sword held by the hand of the aforementioned John Middle who we must remember was very partial to his drink especially when his wife had been out visiting her cousin in the neighbouring village who was well known to have wished at one time to wed her had he possessed the requisite character which he had not occasioning Missus John Middle's happy wedding less than two months previous to the events of this story which were now beginning to more than greatly annoy Mister Middle at this present time because the man he was poking his sword at had climbed up the velvet curtains at the window to escape him causing a great quantity of dust to fall on the unlucky Middle who swore most terrifically till the eldest of the young men whose name was John Biggle motioned him to stop lest he aggravate his gout which was always brought on by excitement while at the same time speaking reasonably to our most wretched hero who was this moment trembling with fright at the very extreme of the stately curtains but gradually calmed sufficiently to slide not ungracefully to the floor where he sat to ask their business on account of his legs having gone to sleep thus preventing him from addressing them in a dignified manner more befitting of the lord which he most certainly was but which was not the issue at stake here that being the absence of his good mother whose whereabouts at this time was unknown making it a matter of the greatest urgency as the very reasonable indeed John Biggle was pointing out to our hero who answered that that was why he had been crying these past three weeks in desperation of ever seeing her again with which helpless anguish Biggle wholeheartedly empathised but suggested that perhaps the anguish need not be quite helpless for was not my lord a knight with all the bravery such a condition entailed therefore could he not perhaps go to rescue his mother himself to which I am ashamed to say our hero replied with the most despicable cowardice by trying to slip underneath the bed when nobody was looking but of course absolutely everyone was looking right at him so it did not really achieve anything save making John Middle very angry again almost to the point of employing his sword again until little John Tiddle had another bright idea which he whispered to John Biggle a little too loudly so that the whole room heard including our poor knight who cried out in horror that they could not possibly hang him for cowardice even it was his mother at stake to which John Middle who had become quite impassioned replied they very well could as they were twenty to his one in addition to being stronger than him in addition to being on the right side of the law whereupon John Biggle quickly silenced him with a quantity of curtain material inserted into his mouth for they were not really on the right side of the law of course being only lowly townsmen in comparison to his lordship but went on to say when our knight leapt up in hope that they would hang him regardless out of a sense of honourable justice which went beyond mere social standing for you must remember they were very young with sore throats from not eating for two days at which point they caught him by the coat tails to drag him begging down the long stairs which led into the hall from which they took him to the yard where a suitably long-nosed gargoyle jutted over the yard with a convenient piece of rope draped over its proboscis which they proceeded to tie around our knight's neck who shrieked most dreadfully like a baby it was said later while they placed his trembling feet upon a stool from which to push him when the rope had been attached sufficiently strongly to take his weight but as they drew the noose tight about his shrinking flesh a great roar was heard above them which shook the castle to its very roots not to mention the startled townsfolk who turned to see not the feared dragon as they had at first thought but none other than our hero's mother who'd heard his cries from wherever the dragon had secreted her which inflamed most wonderfully her motherly instincts which overcame the poor startled beast before leading her straight to her distressed son which this very instant was teetering perilously on the stool forgotten in the middle of the yard for you see the gargoyle's nose was indeed massively long but not strong you see so when our hero's mother leapt at it it broke at once to precipitate our hero into the magnificent arms of his mother with whom he lived happily ever after to the end of his days; and that then, my very dear friends is the story I thought of this week while my brother was out: at the vet.

Entry for 9/20

Relate the most confusing story of something that's happened to you in the past. Try to make it as true to life as possible; it's not a funny/confusing story if it didn't happen in reality :P

I can't think of a confusing or funny thing that has happened recently. :(

I got stuck in a chimney on WoW today, though.

Confusing...

Hmph. I can't think of one. I will in like ten minutes, though.

Challenge for September 28th,

Write down a way to re-invent the wheel, using sliced bread.

I said to myself one day, you know, that wheel has to go. Look at its shape; its much too round and hard. A modern day tire can barely be poked, much less eaten. I mean, that's simply not right. I said to myself, "You know, self, this really is quite wrong. Something must be done!"

I then tried a few new versions of the wheel, and yet, nothing quite stuck. I quickly discovered liquids rarely work as wheels, and so I discarded that idea for something a little more solid. I started to grasp onto my initial ideas. Etable. What do I feel like eating, right now?

Sliced bread. Well, dangnabbit, I made a wheel out of sliced bread.

The frame is carved from the leftover crusts that the children of the world refuse top eat. The outside, softer areas are crafted from the Wonder bread that gives that perfect, soft texture, and yet tastes so terrible that nobody will eat it. My reasoning is that after the wheel has been used for a week or two, it won't even taste like Wonder bread anyway. More like meatloaf. Muddy meatloaf.

I decided to hold it together with peanut butter. Sliced bread is nothing without peanut butter. And I put it on my car, and off I drove, well on my way to changing the world for the better.

...

Wait a minute, what? Foolz, I must question your sanity at this point. I must question my own for typing that, as well.

Innovation is linked with creativity, and it is a well known fact that a mixture of mild hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana, and Alice in Wonderland leave you more creative than that Japanese guy who invented the floppy disk. So I found myself some acid, put the Pink Floyd on, and smoked some grass while perusing Alice's adventures in Wonderland. And like a hangover it hit me, we'd been wrong for over 5,000 years. The wheel, the jewel in humanity's crown, was wrong. We'd focused on geometry, we'd focused on function, but we hadn't focused on what truly mattered---styIe. Using a complex mixture of cold fusion, the string theory and wheat, I worked furiously all night. I wrote down my theories, I tested them in my mind, and then I got to work. I drove to the supermarket, bought some munchies, and all the slices of bread I could afford. The drugs had started to wear off, so I knew I had to work fast---already I was forgetting my mathematical theories---but when I arrived home I found my calculations to be gone! I realised with a little embarrassment and amusement that I had been writing it down on a crumpled Twix wrapper with my penis.

Oh yeah, the winne of the last challenge!

Even though she didn't follow the rules exactly (write about something that recently happened), for contributing such a landmark work of genius to the union, Extasis wins! :D 20 victorious points to her!

iloveflash

Thank you! I've never entered a writing challenge/compettion before, and now I've won one! :D

(Half-way through writing it, Foolz pointed out to me that I hadn't read the guidlines properly, so I wasn't going to post it since I didn't think I had a chance. But he kept telling me to anyway, so I just added in a lie about me making it up during the week, heh heh. Ah, the awsome power of deception! ;))

What would happen, if Daylight Savings went backwards instead of forwards... :o

If daylight savings was reversed

We'd find ourselves within a hearse

For if the world was not on time

Oh, it would blow your mind

You see the doctors would not doctor

And the chicks would not cluck

And the policemen would not police

For you and me!

The robbers would run riot

And the judges would be quiet

For they'd be drinking tea

When they should be judging thieves

And the doctors would be late

Which would be a sick person's nasty fate

To die from minor ailments like choking

On their dear old morning tea

For the doctor cannot treat

While he eats his daily meat

And the policemen do rely

On fighting crime on time

Or you will die

For the murderers are not constrained

To such a thing as a time,

But the policemen must abide

To society's diatribe

Lest, they become criminals all the same!

Oh it would be a travesty

If 2 was 1 and 5 was 4

For then we couldn't follow the law!

No we would be constrained

To being late all the time

And it would not be possible to dine

For the restaurants would closely early

And poor, poor people like Shirley

Would starve to death

On a single ration a day

Oh if daylight savings were reversed

A depression with we'd be cursed

And we'd never recover, no, no

No way!

But if we took our clocks

And moved their hands

Like a proposal and a wedding band

We'd simply have to change

1 to 2 and 3 to 4!

For then everything would be grand

At the trial criminals would stand

And justice would be returned to all the land!

Oh all that we must do

Is make 1 to 2, and 2 to 3!

Oh all we must do is make 1 into 2

And 3 to 4!

And justice would be returned to all the land!

I woke up one hour early. Which was really one hour late. Why? Because daylight savings had gone...

!!STRAWCAB

Which meant I was late for school. Which meant I was early. So I ate some corn flakes, brushed my teef, and practiced the "Cha-cha" for several minutes. Unfortunately, a direct combination of "stupidity"with a "wall" via my "head" caused the time/space continuum to reverse itself, and as a result I winded up being late.

I rushed slowly strawcab to school, fearing what might happen next. As expected I arrived three hours after cIass had finished--which meant I arrived two hours early--and had just enough time to take my time to fix the time that I had messed with.

First, I had to get rid of that daylights savings nonsense, because it was that which had started this in the first place. I kissed a random man teacher on his mouth and he slapped me back to 1907. As expected, I immediately plummeted into some poor fellow's back yard--Isaac Newton to be precise, and after failing to wake him, I immediately took my time rushing to the science convention being held down the road, where good old William Willet was bound to be. Of course it then struck me that I needed a weapon in order to complete my task, but then a few hours later it struck me immediately that I can make extraordinary things happen with blunt force and varying amounts of "stupidity"--that I was in fact a weapon in myself!

William Was A Nice Fellow. The World Will Surely Miss Him.

Suddenly a few moments ago the ground shook, and a Portal (tm) opened up beneath my feet. I prayed to the Lords of Dogtown (C) for fiscal guidance, and then shot back to my own time a few millenia later at another time a bit later that very instant.

Upon returning, I discovered with great joy that I was one minute short of early, which turned into two hours when I was told to go home and put on some clothes, which in turn landed me an hour late according to daylights savings time, effectively making me right on time.

But then some fellow came in and kissed me on my mouth, and I involuntarily made myself slap him into another dimension nearby downstairs.

Time wasted is time gone. Indeed, and most of the time only those extra hours are used to just sleep more or less. This is wasting time, I might say! One day, people have an extra hour just popping into existance, and what the heck is up with that?!

We should take away an hour. People will have to appropriate their time better, and we would solve many problems. Hunger would simply seise to exist. Wouldn't that be nice? It would also kill the devil. That would be better, yes it would.

If we killed the devil, theangels would come down and sweep us away. Have you seen those angels? They have massive boobs. Awesome.

Then we would all live in piece. That's what I have to say.

"You realize that you've saved up a truckload of money. Write about what you would buy with it--would it be one big thing? Many little things?

THE CATCH!

You cannot name the item(s) directly. You can only refer to them by metaphor or simile! The winner is whoever manages to give the vaguest but clearest picture of what item(s) they are talking about."

I would buy a something that would grant me a road that a million have walked. Something that would be like the discovery of fire; necessary for survival in this "harsh" climate. Something that would give me yet another shining beacon for people to respect. Something that, like a good shirt, will last me my entire life.

I find nothing more motivating than those who patronise, criticise, take status seriously and are more hypocritical than Winston Churchill. So there is no question as to what I would buy. It would have to be ugly and void of any meaning, but it would have to be popular, respected, and most of all expensive (for the two are intertwined), I would then display it in public for all to see at no charge, at which point it would lose its value and respect, and I could smile happily to myself at the delicious irony.

wtf?

Oh how delightful, we finally have proof that you're insane. Lucida console on the internet? Y2K has passed, man.

Also, I thought the story itself was quite a cute read. :)

And both of you did the last challenge so poorly--no--horribly--nay--horendously--that you both failed. Therefore you both passed. Which means it's a draw. Which means the two of you must engage in sudden death. Tomorrow. Forever.

I didn't type that. Furthermore, I agree that the challenge was lame.

Also, I have never tasted Bearshine, so I have no frame of reference here.

Of course you haven't. :roll:

I'll pwn all of joo later by giving a prime example of how that challenge should've been handled... later on. Creativity comes first!
