Obviously many of these are quoted chapter and verse from the Vulgate.

You are a cat person, obviously...

Hmph!

TimT said...

How about this one, then? A newspaper headline:

CAT PERSON SAVES WORLD! (STORY INSIDE)

TimT said...

Not inspired by this post, which wasn't in my mind at all when I wrote this.

Shelley said...

I find 'Oh dear. Speaking to myself again' a much more frightening phrase.

Anonymous said...

Oh no, Tim. You are clearly a rank amateur when it comes to cat ranting. A true cat person needs the cat to save the world, preferably by lying around doing nothing.

Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.

I don't know why, but I really like this. Margaret and David reviewed a horrible-sounding film called Hostel II tonight. There was an interview with the director and I had one of those moments where you are paralysed by the extraordinary thought that "This person really has no brains!".

TimT said...

But Nails, it's when you speak to yourself in the third person that things get really worrying...

Karen - naturally, that story was by Joss Whedon, the Buffy The Vampire Slayer genius.

Shelley said...

I don't actually do that. I might start trying it though.

Oh second thought, can't do it. My name doesn't seem to lend itself to talking about myself in the third person - stupid name.

Anonymous said...

Um, haven't been able to get into Buffy. Nothing against it, just haven't really watched it. I suppose that probably cancels out having a father who edited a publication about carnvivorous plants!

I speak of myself in the third person quite often, but I usually like to do it with my surname.

That's not a six word sentence...

Even so, Nails, eavesdropping on yourself gossiping about yourself might have a hedonistic pleasure all its own.

Some of those stories irritate me, because it's like the authors have chopped up words or added words here or there and otherwise fiddled around with how a sentence would naturally turn out. You get similar problems with almost any form that tends to have a restricting effect on language. (Haiku, 50-word fiction, and some extraordinary bad examples can be found in 19th century Australian bush ballads). I think games/poetic forms like this should enhance the eloquence of the language - that's why my favourite here is my effort in iambic trimeter, 'Your duck has lost its quack'.

Sorry, mistake. My rash is contagious.

No donors in Australia match you.

Circumcision, orchidectomy. Pretty similar really, hey?

Average size? Think again, micro boy.

TimT said...

Bravo, everyone! Every word a star!

Shelley said...

I don't know. I think that talking about 'Shelley' might get a little confusing.

P.S. Sorry for the deleted comment.

Steve said...

My last lover died unexpectedly - hahahahahahahaha.

Dr Patel will see you now.

Are you my first? Try 151st.

My blog is better than yours.

TimT said...

Steve, your phrases are a disturbing mixture of the medical, the scatological, and the erotomaniacal! They're very good. My favourite so far is 'My ear wax follows lunar cycles'. Of course, 'My blog is better than yours' is a mini-work of genius that really captures something about the cyber-world.

Caz said...

Oh jeez Timmy, look what you've done!

Steve is letting his hair down, and it may never stop!

Caz said...

Hmmm - yerrs, getting Quentin Tarantino to executive produce two really vile and crappy films that make a motza definitely requires a "person [with] really no brains".

Kinda makes me yearn to be even half that stoopid.

Anonymous said...

I'm so out of touch I'd never even heard of the first film, so I had no idea that it had made a motza or had Tarantino as an executive producer. I was just gobsmacked by the director's ridiculous comments about what he saw as the "social context" of his film and why he thought audiences "needed" to watch horrific scenes of violence and sexual assault in the wake of September 11.

Steve said...

Spielberg rang. You missed the call.

Star Wars Episode 37 opens 2050.

Your screenplay is perfect. Re-write it.

X-Files really improved by series 8.

To date me, love Australian films.

Your humour is reminiscent of Riefenstahl.

Only Jim Carey makes me laugh.

George Lucas will direct more films.

The Hobbit will be a trilogy.

Marlon Brando and Cary Grant? True!

Today's stars are so more glamourous.

Let's try this vegan wholefood diet.

Is that Lindsay vomiting over there?

I gave Paris your mobile number.

Steve said...

Sorry, a seven word one slipped in there.

TimT said...

I think I'm going to just save all of those and use them as titles for my posts!

Steve said...

The volcano god awaits your sacrifice.

Sex annually is enough for me.

The condom must be in there.

I have run out of inspiration.

Shelley said...

It’s lame but I have one – inspired by She Came to Stay which popped into my head last night despite a good ten years since I last read it. I may have it wrong but I believe the story was, basically: A cock-led Sartre loses to gas.

I know, both late and lame.

Steve said...

Mohammed, I said "sturgeons", not "virgins"

Steve said...

Je ne regrette rien...vous excepté

Steve said...

You may have to shoot me.

TimT said...

You may have to shoot me.

I'm not sure whether I should file that one away under 'phrases you may want to hear' or 'phrases you may not want to hear'.

These phrases are up my alley!!!
