May 20, 2012 1:29 pm at 1:29 pm #1071160ChortkovParticipantAccording to the fruxation reactor on my Presogrationslism Detector, the range of pliothorate to the ratio of manithin has yet to be balanced. In fact, it could be in severe danger of recabrlicrating!

May 24, 2012 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm #1071162OneOfManyParticipantFor some reason that word sounds like it means the opposite of what it really means. I don’t know why, but don’t you think it does?

May 25, 2012 8:32 am at 8:32 am #1071167TheMusicManParticipantI think that utter, unmitigated polysyllabic mayhem may possibly be a haphazard idiosyncrasy of unknown definition, except the individual designation that it is the use of terminology, syntax, semantics, linguistics, and miscellaneous figures of speech in a manner which is almost, but not entirely, wholly unlike partial, whole, superficial, or in every respect nonsensical, speech, though it may not be.

May 25, 2012 4:00 pm at 4:00 pm #1071171yitayningwutParticipantWhile traditional Jewish literature indicative of both schools of thought is extant, I am not sure that either one is especially prevalent in Jewish thought today.

July 8, 2012 3:49 am at 3:49 am #1071180TheGoqParticipantThe Honorificabilitudinity of some of the posters here often impresses me.
July 8, 2012 7:52 am at 7:52 am #1071181TheMusicManParticipantOn the proposition, assumption, hypothesis, presupposition, postulation, supposition, presumption, conjecture, speculation, assertion, and belief that this post may or may not be a hopeless conglomeration of otherwise useless statements. This will inversely distressing, upsetting, traumatic, heartbreaking, agonizing, and harrowing and just downright painful to those suffering from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, the fear of long words. Chances are that you will now throw your computer screen out the window, particularly if you suffer from rupophobia, the fear of rubbish.

One should diligently exercise proper speculation upon that situs that one will eventually tenant if one propels oneself into the aerosphere.
Aberration is the hallmark of homo sapiens while longanimous placability and condonation are the indicia of supramundane omniscience.

Is shaped by gravitational force,

Of bryophytic aggregation.

No use crying over spilled milk.
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
