I do not intend to tongue that the world is in the evening of its life; that strange forms of stranger shapes of stranger intent are jumping into the world to vile the human intercourse. I will not say the world is dying perenially, her inhabitant are expecting doom acutely, help seems to elude her continuously. However, I’ve come to tell you we can war this success and succeed in this war, I’ve come to say the war which can’t be fought with steel or lead must be fought in bedrooms where alphabelt stream on the pages and digits motion in the cerebral castles. I’ve come to say we fight against a force higher tha what we are but not what man can become. Lets then motion our world and person where we defeat the enemies of humanity.

I very much enjoyed this site. Perhaps it will help me to make my audiences feel captivated rather than held captive.

Zeugma should be the name of an evil alien warlord (is there any benevolent ones?). All hail Lord Zeugma!

here’s my attempt:

Diaskeue+anaspora: alas! look what has happened to the english language. how chaucer harvested it in wit and pose, shakespeare spun its thread to beauty beyond the ages, milton weaved the threads to evoke fear of damnation and longings of paradise, and once, churchill, that old english bulldog, harnessed the fabrics of its courage to deliver the world from tyranny.

alas!how they will despair of the lolspeak, how they will despair of the typos, how they will despair the ignorant, indiscriminate use of ‘there-their-they’re’, how they will despair of their toils that have come to naught.

whewww..my brain hurts. yeah, it is strange that this list went so uncommented.

I have often said this to my friends, it thought wandered into my mind one day, I thought: "This is truly humerous, I must tell my friends."

I feel amazingly, curiously, gloriously addicted to Listserve and you know I do think of it as a list that serves my need to feed a need to know everything even though it's really called Listverse which makes no sense to me so let's pretend I have an IQ higher than a piece of wood and pretend I understand perfectly.
