I am home alone, bored, watching my season two video of the Office for the umpteenth time, so it is time once again for a writing contest such as we have had in the past. This will accomplish several things. 1. It will allow me to kill some time on a Saturday night waiting for Scott to come home from wherever it is 16 year olds go on Saturday night. 2. It will possibly confirm my suspicions that very few people are actually paying any attention to this blog anymore. and 3. It will provide some entertainment for me and Cliff and possibly MAB.
As a reminder you can check out a previous post containing our literary efforts here.
The word list.
pernicious
lackadaisical
abjure
xenophobia
suave
sycophant
amity
OK, one sentence, using as many of these words as you can, extra credit for making me laugh.

When I get back from the mission trip I'll look up these words!
steve- i read faithfully. i just don't have the time, energy, or patience to come up with a decent sentence using those words.
you should have come out to the baseball game with us saturday night. i didn't know you were home alone. you could have held down the hill with me.
I, like Cliffie, will have to find a dictionary before I attempt to make a sentence with these words, but attempt to make Steve Gohring laugh? It is a feat only mab can accomplish in this department.
Man, this week has been so swamped that I actually haven't had time to check blogs!!! Finding this and knowing that days upon days have gone by without me creating a sentence that uses these words and creates hilarity will be punishment for my lax behavior. Now I go to think and ponder....
Ok, I got one.... but it's missing xenophobia....
The suave but lackadaisical aristocrat blithely uttered a pernicious statement to the police – not so much because he wanted to abjure his obnoxiously sycophant nephew, but out of desire to preserve an amity with himself.
Here's a better one:
Persons suffering from xenophobia frequently believe in the pernicious statement that abjures all foreigners as lackadaisical, deficient in suave manners, unable to live in a state of amity with one’s neighbors, and only willing to play the role of a sycophant to find gainful employment.
My last two....
The lackadaisical sycophant blandly muttered, “You abjure me with a pernicious slander because I have xenophobia towards all foreign hair products and choose to have amity with my follicles by only using Suave brand shampoo.”
I abjure the pernicious attempt to destroy the amity present in the blogging community by the suave sycophant known as “Local News Writer” who acted on his xenophobia when he censured the brilliantly different, but often lackadaisical Papa Steve.
Papa Steve, you're getting downright lackadaisical. It's been days upon days since I submitted my entries and I've had nary a peep out of you!
Speaking of peeps, if you have any leftover Easter Peeps, put two of them in the microwave facing each other. Then, turn on the microwave. They will fight each other until they explode.
You might want to turn off the microwave before they explode or MamaG might resemble the peeps -- her head will get bigger and bigger until she explodes.
MAB is the winner, not merely because no one else bothered to enter, but because she not always makes me laugh, but invariably brings a smile to my face. And she says crap a lot.
Yay! I'm the winner! I shall put the trophy on my mantel.
And, with all of the amity in my soul, I abjure you to forgive me for calling you lackadaisical. This pernicious slander that I uttered was born from a lack of knowledge of the strain, struggle, and stress your family recently endured. As suavely as possible (without seeming a sycophant), I ask you to let this phrase slip by. Thank you.
