chelidonOkay, for you writer-folk and grammar-geeks out here, a word-play game for them's that's game themselves...
These aren't...quite Tom Swiftisms ("The freeze has killed the entire orange crop!" she wailed, fruitlessly.), or Swift-Tommies ("So said the lawyer's wife, Sue"), but something...else.
For the thread that gave these birth, see here
Here's the pattern (taken from the bottom of above thread), you can see how it evolved:
1. There! (she exclaimed pointedly)
2 . "Help, help, I'm in prison!" he said with conviction.
3. "I guess that's the end of it," said the proctologist. (...or "that's it, in the end!")
4. "Eh, I'm on my period, " dripped the grammarian.
So take that last one, perhaps, as a thrown gauntlet, and come back with something truly evily wicked, that follows roughly the same pattern (classic Tom Swiftisms count, too) The declared winner will receive the overwhelming accolade of her or his peers, and the period from sentence 4, above...
