Pronunciation: SHH-nopp-yew-lazz-umm

Sentence: Claire's first weekend at her boyfriend's apartment went well enough- until she attempted to shower. Comfortably wrapped in a plush monogrammed guest towel and armed with high-end pseudoscintillating hydrating bogusflavinoid SHAMpoo, as well as a small beaker of realpoo, Claire got one sexy foot into the shower and was stopped cold by a severe SCHNOPULASM. She choked down her revulsion like a shot of Southern Comfort and backed away in disgust, repelled by the matured colony of living pestilence she had almost touched. Supressing her gag reflex, she opened the window and gasped for air until her SCHNOPULASM receded enough for logic to regain a toehold on her cosmetic saturated brain. Claire quickly doused the entire shower stall with a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and fled from the deadly vapours for the relative safety of the bedroom and her industrial-sized bottle of generic booze. As Claire's brain slipped quietly into a comforting bath of ethyl alcohol, her SCHNOPULASM began to recede, but she knew that it just wouldn't work. If alcohol hadn't killed HER by now, what chance did it have against the hybrid orange slime just a few deadly feet away?

Etymology: No etymology. SCHNOPULASM is entirely fictitous and based upon the silliness of it's sound.

SEVENTY BILLION to buy up BAD stuff so that people can get more credit to live beyond their means? Seems like a good idea. DOUBLE YOUR I.Q. OR NO MONEY BACK ? Duh.....okay. Sounds good to me. http://www.scriptologist.com/Magazine/Tips/Network/network.html - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 11:58:00

Rats! The link- it no fits..... - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 11:59:00

I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the defense budget and the Russians and crime in the street. All I know is first you['ve] got to get mad. You've got to say: 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more. I'm a human being, goddammit. My life has value. - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 12:01:00

A garden that is overgrown needs more nutrient, and not getting that, it dies off the rest and leaves only the strong. Your life has value, yes, but in the big picture, it is a cog. I predict a massive die off real soon, be it by a human hand or the indifferent shrug of mother nature. - zxvasdf, 2008-09-29: 12:51:00

I concur, zxvasdf. The Garden is a good one. First we have fall and winter. Then we have spring and summer again.I anticipate the great purge you speak of, for I, too know it is inevitable. I do not fear death, but I am enjoying as much life as has been alotted to me. The partial becomes complete; the crooked, straight; the empty, full; the worn out, new. He whose (desires) are few gets them; he whose (desires) are many goes astray. Ars Longa Vita Brevis :) - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 16:35:00

unforunately this is going to hurt everyone - when I forget to water only the weeds survive - Jabberwocky, 2008-09-29: 16:37:00

Weeds are only plants growing where YOU don't want them to. I don't really mean to expand the "grey area" to it's natural limit (if there is one), or to "push the envelope" of comments but i just have to say that it's great to see so many CREATIVE sentences employed with tame abandon. A fortnight ago there was a dearth of microstories posted here, and that's what i really look forward to reading as the midnight hour creeps slowly nearer each evening. VERBOTOMISTS- I salute you! - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 17:04:00

This is more like blogging than the blog itself. And I don't even know what a blog looks like. - metrohumanx, 2008-09-29: 17:14:00

It takes guts to invent a word right out of thin air. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-09-30: 17:41:00

Pronunciation: mil/doopt

Sentence: The twins were thrilled to be in their first and very own apartment. No more Mom and dad breathing down their necks or peeking out windows when dates were dropping them off. Their new place looked so good when it had the last tenants belongings in it. It somehow even looked cleaner than it really was. Molly's first shower sounded to Holly like a scene out of Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho. When Holly ran in to see what was going on, Molly was standing in the shower screaming and pointing, "LOOK! We've been milduped! This shower does did NOT originally match the peach colored walls and decor!"

Etymology: Mildew: A superficial coating or discoloration of organic materials caused by fungi, especially under damp conditions. Duped: slang for: To deceive

I had just watched an episode of the reality show Sunset Tan. Holly and Molly do exist...though barely...ha - lumina, 2008-09-30: 16:09:00
