It's that time again!

I am delighted to be your host for the 2nd-ever 10th Page 10 Favorite Sentences Awards!

We've laughed, we've cried, we've ooh'ed and ahh'ed, and now we look back and enjoy the creations of some very crafty sentence-crafters. As I select and present sentences, I will be following all the precedents set by the marvelous mezzanotte and approved by our illustrious founder Campin_Cat.

A note about your judge's disposition: I am a sucker for anything that makes me laugh out loud, anything that displays shrewd wit and intelligence to a sublime degree, anything poetic, anything particularly apt or befitting of the word or situation, any sentence which makes for a difficult-to-achieve final product... there are lots of ways to make me marvel, and so many people made me do that over the past 10 pages... but I could only pick 10 quotes out of 150! (Mine excluded, per tradition!)

So I decided to be very transparent and pick the ones I really did enjoy THE MOST. There was a lot I had to leave out that I wanted to put in. If you didn't have a quote show up in this list or think you would like to appear more, now I've told you how to rig the game when I'm picking them! I did however limit each person to 3 spots in this post, because Mezzanotte may have done the same for us in his review.

The "playoff rounds" I went through to choose these included many more quotes by Campin_Cat (who was actually the most frequently-cited person in my quote pages), Lillikoi (who makes me smile with her sentences literally every single time), and Sylkat (who only posted once or twice but made it count) among others. Just want you all to know that.

And that's also another good reason to rotate judges... so that we learn about everyone's tastes and get a taste of every taste.

For the next 10-page retrospective, I nominate Campin_Cat!

Here we go across pages 10-20, in roughly chronological order!

This is short and simple, but just... so perfect! As Mezzanotte noted, I am a fan of sentences which relate to their words. This is great... and very nearly a recursive sentence.


I wasn't expecting the euphemism at all, and I am glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read this.


This was poetic, humorous and historical all at once. It reminded me of Theodore Roosevelt's saying ?Walk softly and carry a big stick? ? it's the Flash Gordon version.


A first-rate recursive sentence which is both witty and wisely cynical.
Lies, vile LIES!!


I love the mental image of a Sasquatch Insurrection. It's WWI-meets-Planet-of-the-Apes-meets-Harry-and-the-Hendersons.


I am feeling the truth of this insightful sentence right now, as I study to keep my technical knowledge up to date for my work.


I mark Mezzanotte for his intelligence and profundity in particular, but he caught me off guard and made me laugh more than once in these pages. Once again, history meets Sci-Fi, as the Carthaginians of Tunisian Antiquity square off against the Gungans of Naboo.


This was very solemn, whistful and poetic. It gets special mention for being a moving, vividly-image-producing sad sentence.


I am imagining Campin_Cat sitting at her keyboard, growing increasingly frustrated with all the "adult content" which attempts to crowd her Google search results.


I was blown away to have a spontaneously-suggested acronym word matched exactly to a real quote by a noted personality, in memoriam. Mezzanotte is a person of highly agile intellect. Well done, sir. Well done!


I really enjoyed doing this and reading these again, and please keep up the submissions! If Campin_Cat accepts, I can't wait to see which posts she picks when she does the page 30 awards!

(Great picks, Theta! The last sentence on your list is not a direct quote, but it's my response to Langston Hughes after reading his poem, "Harlem." He's a heroic figure and inspiration to me, because despite his misfortunes in life, he followed his dreams and refused to be silenced.)

(Campin_Cat, thank you for introducing a fun game to word-loving aspies. I look forward to seeing new members join in the upcoming pages!)
