Hello there.

PhiNotPi's avatar

How are you?

Ivan's avatar

I am a banana.

Run, or I’ll eat you.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Please do so, I’m feeling frisky.

TexasDude's avatar

If that’s the case, then fuck you.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Oh my, are you allowed to say that?

ratboy's avatar

It’s the touch that dares not speak its name.

Ivan's avatar

A sentence with 10 words is pretty difficult to formulate.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

It’s not that difficult if you are used to being verbose.

Ivan's avatar

Everyone participating should remember that it’s bad grammar to use run-on sentences.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I also think we need to remember that it is “poor grammar”, right?

Ivan's avatar

I actually had that the first time, but I must have changed it accidentally.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Oh sure you would use that as an excuse, but we all know you’re lying.

Ivan's avatar

On the contrary, the people of Fluther are well aware of my grammar and spelling abilities.

sanchezjk's avatar

I want to find something good to eat, but I don’t know what it could possibly be.

Ivan's avatar

Well, if chocolate appeals to you, I think I know of a guy who will work for some.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

If you are referring to me, good sir, I would like you to know that I am a girl.

erichw1504's avatar

Yes Ivan, that would be quite rude of you to believe Chocolate is a girl and not a boy.

Kardamom's avatar

I had no intention of suggesting that you were anything but a decent hard
working gal with beautiful diction and handwriting.

Ivan's avatar

Because Kardamom’s sentence contained 21 words, rather than the desired 20, I shall provide a sentence to fill the gap.

Kardamom's avatar

I have to apologize for writing a bad sentence with the incorrect number or words and I can only blame myself.

Ivan's avatar

Now I’m not quite certain how many words this sentence, as well as the the next, are supposed to have in them.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Darling Ivan, I don’t suppose it really matters about the number of words now, simply because I doubt anyone else will bother counting.

Ivan's avatar

Excuse me Chocolate, but how would your significant other feel knowing that you are calling another man by such an affectionate name as “darling”?

ratboy's avatar

If this sentence constituted a brief message concerning quirky grammar, it would not only contain fewer words—it would also be written in French.

seazen's avatar

Who else tapped their screen while counting how many words in the previous sentence, while simultaneously wondering how to write something halfway intelligent?

Plucky's avatar

Sometimes I sit and wonder why I answer these types of questions but then I snicker quietly and realise that it’s because I’m cool like that.

TexasDude's avatar

You all better be careful or I will bust out my mod ban hammer and start swinging wildly until every last one of you is permanently banned.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

It’s perfectly okay for me to call you “darling” Ivan, because I have given my hubby his own special nickname that’s just for him and he loves it.

sanchezjk's avatar

I hate the fact that everytime I try to fly I always end up going to the hospital and wake up wondering what I was thinking, again and again.

erichw1504's avatar

This is really quite crazy, I never thought that it would have been possible to make it past 25 words, but it seems like it’s not so hard after all.

picante's avatar

By my count, the sentence above has thirty words, and that is certainly an achievement worthy of praise, which you’ll get from me in the form of carrying on to thirty-one.

erichw1504's avatar

You counted correctly, since there were exactly thirty words in my answer and you have subsequently responded back with a massive thirty-one sentence that could only possibly be trumped with a thirty-two!

butterflies's avatar

The heart of man can only be deceived by the troubling eternities of hell, this place will be known as triopocalypse!

erichw1504's avatar

Since @butterflies failed with only a twenty-one word sentence, I will create this ultra, mega long one after mine with a gigantic amount of words only made possible by stringing together thirty-three words!

butterflies's avatar

why is everything so deeply complicated, and every single human being has the most wonderful characteristics ever made, and how come this deadly mortification is troublesome, and how many of you can say automatic systomatic transylvania five times in a row, mwaaahhhaaahahahahhahahhahahahhah

erichw1504's avatar

Wow, @butterflies just does not seem to get the way that this game is supposed to be played, since each consecutive response is supposed to be just one word longer than the previous response.

34

Ela's avatar

I didn’t know if there were 34 words in your sentence @erichw1504 or if the next sentence was to be 34 words so I c/ped it to MSW and it did the counting for me.
; )

erichw1504's avatar

Well, @EnchantingEla, you are amazing, thank you for following the rules and double checking mine and @butterflies’ work by using Microsoft Word and looking at the word count on this beautiful Friday morning here at Fluther!

Ela's avatar

May I be so bold as to say how very astute you are @erichw1504 to notice my sheer amazingness and I thank you for the wonderful compliment on this extremely brisk, very sunny Friday afternoon in December.

erichw1504's avatar

No thanks necessary @EnchantingEla, for I should be thanking you for having the guts to go to the exceeding length of thirty seven words in one sentence and I challenge you or someone else to go even further!

Ela's avatar

Meh, after thirty-five and thirty six, thirty seven is easy breezy lemon squeezy with a twist of lime and a cabanna boy on the side with one of them palm leaf fanny things keeping it all cool!

erichw1504's avatar

Sounds delightful, only I would change it up a bit and have a cabanna girl on the side in a skimpy bikini while I relax on the shore with a sex on the beach (not with the girl, the drink).

40!

Ela's avatar

My oh my, thanks bartender, I’ll take one of one (the bana bay) and two of the other (the drink) with a blanket, two straws, a pillow and a telescope to star gaze and see the man on the moon with!

erichw1504's avatar

If I had a lot of money, I would wear a top hat and a monocle while sipping on gin and juice so people would know that I am rich and then take a ride on my roller coaster in the backyard.
