"And" six times in a row

curses...

still:
Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after?

"and a dog that helps blind people is a guide dog?"

I'm now considering the implications of crossing a sheepdog with a guide dog....

Surely a dog that rounded itself up two places would be an e?

Buffalo-buffaloed Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

(seriously)

(I love this thread and I don't know why)

..it's the little things that impress me the most ;)

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo, Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Dan's version is just silly.

Blue Blu blew blue Bloo blue!
(Sad Blu fellated sad Bloo to a point of blueness!)

and

Cuts cuts cuts.
(A person named cuts reduces the number of cuts in X)

Ah.

(Mark takes note of some symbols. Rubbish, I know.)

that's a good one.

er...

i.e. I take note of the marks that Mark made.

The job int went well, so one day I may well just disappear from here. Let you know if so.

The Language Log thread comments include an expansion of that sentence to "and" 71 times in a row.

Imagine if that person was standing in an echo chamber.

What would it sound like he was saying?

If you like fish, fish fish. Fish fish fish too.

when you go to hell ilx only has this thread on it

If you like fish, fish fish. Fish fish fish. Fish fish other things too.

If you like to fish fish, fish fish. Fish fish fish. Fish fish other things too.

I just bashed my elbow. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

who knows how many times I've spent a few minutes trying to parse the buffalo and failing.

and by a few I mean many. Many many many many.

Think of "Buffalo buffalo buffalo" as "Chicago bash bisons".

Chicago bash bisons bash Chicago bash bisons.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.

that's wrong lol

Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.

buffalo doesn't even look like a real word now :(

try this:

Mice cats chase eat cheese. (Mice, that are chased by cats, eat cheese.)

Dogs dogs dog dog dogs. (Dogs, that are dogged by dogs, dog other dogs)

Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. (Buffalo, that are buffaloed by buffalo, buffalo other buffalo.)

then add the extra Buffalo-NY

Buffalo-NY buffalo, Buffalo-NY buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo-NY buffalo

and so

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

i've just gone a bit mental

I love that post so much

YESSSSSSSSSSSS. I am sorry I've had to break two of you to reach this exalted state, I hope it's been worth it for you.

if we could change the binomial name of the buffalo from bison bison to buffalo buffalo we could probably construct a sentence that works as a mental weapon of mass destruction.

i am slowly recovering. (can't make sense of onimo's, it should be 'chicago bisons chicago bisons bash bash chicago bisons'?)

enough.

xp ha!

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo mozarella.

Buffaloed Buffalo buffalo buffaloed Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffaloed Buffalo buffalo

wait I think that's one too many

oh no that's right, never mind

One guy from wet Wet Wet Wet wet wet Wet Wet Wet wet through.

Mine is completely different from ledge's despite having the same words :/

A bison from Chicago that has a tendency to bash is a Chicago bash bison. Sometimes they bash each other. Therefore Chicago bash bison bash Chicago bash bison.

Now I can't understand Ledge's, and I did a minute ago.

There's a river in Namibia called "Fish". Its fish are Fish fish.

If you like Fish fish, fish Fish fish. Fish fish fish Fish fish. Fish fish fish other things too.

If you like to fish Fish fish, fish Fish fish. Fish fish fish Fish fish. Fish fish fish other things too.

If you like to fish Fish fish, fish Fish fish. Fish fish fish Fish fish. Phish fish Fish fish. Fish fish fish Phish. Fish fish fish other things too.

I have tried to work out and explain and expand upon the ands and kens and buffalo in the pub when drunk. It's never gone well. Needless to say, I love this thread.

Did Fish from Marillion own any fish?

Fish didn't like to fish.

fish Fish fish fish fish fish fish Fish fish fish Fish fish?

(just kidding, although if anyone would like to try parsing it anyway, knock yrself out.)

So, the singer Fish from Marillion, who didn't like to fish, decided to fish anyway, but just to prove he had, would take pictures of the fish that he had fished for onto microfiche format (which is spelled mikrofish in Hungarian, or fish for short).
