PUZZLES
EXCESSIVE VERBOSITY
|
Okay, we've already determined that your roommate is weird -- I mean, that Cheez Whiz
incident hammered it home for sure if you had any lingering doubts. But this is...
well... bizarre.
Your Professor said, last Tuesday, that today's discussion would center around
eleven pop tunes. All you asked your dear buddy -- who attended, while you were
home nursing a hangover -- for was the song list, and this is what you got:
A. she is rather extensively educated in the arts of
eating fish eggs and smoking, and quite
compassionate as well
B. i replied regarding my current state of unemployment
and proceeded to, in an undignified manner, make
my way to a rather unconventional and uncomfortable
resting place
C. our natural sattelite has travelled near to the
apex of the sky, but, at the same time, the sun has
descended into the netherworld
D. something's wrong: namely, my lack of honesty;
honestly, nothing i'm telling you is, in fact true,
but, in the telling, i'll strengthen our bond anyway
E. i think i'll investigate the feasibility of procuring
a new abode, and, what's more, i'll do so while
wearing absurdly large, ebony footwear and carrying
this well-aged luggage
F. as yet, i have been unable to persuade her that her
current beau has acquired very little concrete
information regarding her likes and dislikes, and,
furthermore, is vastly more interested in doing
drugs and playing video games than in remedying this
deficiency
G. your audio cassette altered my preconceptions when
i grasped the overarching lyrical subtext
H. i can provide that which you desire, but you
should make a bee-line to my current location, as
the supplies are rapidly diminishing
I. when you were just barely a teenager, doing nothing
but kicking back by yourself in our abode, your
birth father was passing away elsewhere
J. it's impossible to illegally board an airplane in a
manner similar to that which you can employ upon a
locomotive

All righty then. Ten strange phrases, ten weird Wheel of Fortune-y thingies,
and a big ol' batch of digits. Hey, wait, weren't there eleven songs?
