Messcatology
Created by: emdeejay
Pronunciation: Mess Cat ology
Sentence: Leonard was a man of deeply held convictions. Through obsessively cleaning and ordering everything he sought to rid the world of chaos, and thus change and progress. Once everything was thusly (de)filed, his dreams would be realised: the end of civilisation as we know it! Tuesday presented Leonard with an opportunity. Penny, a kind hearted and gentile soul from across the hall had invited him for dinner. While the disorganised Penny unpacked her groceries, Leonard attempted to move one step closer to his goal by relieving Penny of Sheldon's litter box detritus. Sheldon however had agendas of his own, namely the detritus that had collected in Leonard's head. Feline hissery and chaos ensued, and instead of hitting the fan, the contents of Sheldon's litter box, along with Leonard, hit the floor. Later as Leonard wandered home he pondered the evenings events. The mission had been thwarted, but his will remained iron clad. He would reaffirm his faith and end his evening with another reading from the book of Messcatology.

Had fun with your definition today, purpleman! A rose for your good cartoon, James! (an aside for pupleman and Stevenson about a past verbot: You both noted that beefcant got votes but no comments. It was because most of the compliments I thought turned my face red! If you care to go back and take a look, I'm tickled pink to tell you I finally came up with one I could post!)
Smells like a rose or maybe a strawberry. Thanks Silveryaspen! ~ James
