A DU contest: Use "Cthulhu", "Biomechanical Hannity" and "Chuggo" in a complex-compound sentence
Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 01:20 PM by PeterU
Bonus points if you add in "Waterskiing Squirrel" in the equation.

Winners will get their choice of either ten bucks or a Toyota.

1. Okay.
The strangest post of the day was undoubtedly PeterU's, when he wanted us to use terms like "Cthulhu", "Biomechanical Hannity", "Chuggo", and "Waterskiing Squirrel" in a complex-compound sentence; many of us were all in his house with "WTF?"

3. OK
Because Cthulu was preoccupied by flossing the stringy bits of the famous Waterskiing Squirrel from his teeth, Biomechanical Hannity was therefore chosen to shill for McCain, and all Chuggo could do about it was sit by idly and moan, "C'mon fucking guy."

6. Not exactly what you are looking for, but here goes...
Cthulhu is giving Biomechanical Hannity his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian Chuggo's were killed."

"OH NO!" Biomechanical Hannity exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as Biomechanical Hannity sits, head in hands.

Finally, Biomechanical Hannity looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion Chuggo's?"

:shrug:

Please put a semi-colon after "eyes" instead of a comma. Thank you.

10. here goes nothing
Today on the price is right; Biomechanical Bannity had to play a new game called "chuggo", after he lost he let out a loud scream, Drew carry then made a snarky comment about "sounding like the call of the cthulhu" as he walked off the stage.

11. While I've never heard of Chuggo or Biomechanical Hannity,
I do like Cthulhu; now I must go trim the toenails on a waterskiing squirrel.

Yeah, now I owe YOU a toyota, I guess.

14. One day...
Edited on Tue Jun-17-08 03:26 PM by ElboRuum
One day, someone in the DU lounge, I forget whom, asked if we could use "Cthulhu", "Biomechanical Hannity", and "Chuggo" in a complex compound sentence, which of course caused a particularly curious waterskiing squirrel to ask the question, "Vis-a-vis the complex compound sentence, I must ask, is there any other kind?"

Them nutty squirrels.

18. Wow...really?
In lieu of the Toyota--interstate taxes would probably eat me alive--just make a donation to the Obama campaign in my name, OK?

And please, everyone, respect my right to opt out of press availabilities on this. My setlist got chosen by our local classic rock station's you-call-the-tune "DriveTime" promotion, and I've been besieged with that as of late.

:hi:

27. Biomechanical Hannity popped a Chuggo when he saw Cthulhu smile...
...upon George Bush, but the President would not be eligible for the Great Old One to honor him with the Legion of the Waterskiing Squirrel until he started a war with Iran, thus upping his administration's body count.

28. Hmm. Well, I still have a Toyota to give away, so I can re-open the contest until 5 EST today.
We'll see how many more entries we get.

And consolation prizes for all!

I refuse to include myself in this ridiculous game to create a compound-complex sentence using the words Cthulu, Chuggo, Biomechanical Hannity or anything relating to that waterskiing squirrel.

33. If you don't like your Toyota, you can always give it back.
I'm sure many of you fine folks wouldn't mind taking your Toyota.
