I don't know half of you half as well as I should like;
and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
I would like to introduce to one of the most amazing words in the English language: buffalo. Now this word may not seem like much but when put together with other words of like spelling it can be fantastic and it will blow your mind. Buffalo is a word that can be used by itself to create grammatically correct sentences. For Example:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
That's right this is in fact a real sentence. You see, buffalo, has three different meanings in this case. (a)A city in western New York (b)An animal quite similar to bison but having a differentiation in the horn area (c) A verb meaning to intimidate by a display of power. With this in mind a sentence can easily be constructed using the verb buffalo, and the noun buffalo. Buffalo buffalo. Then if you add in the fact that the buffalo (animal) are from Buffalo this sentence can become Buffalo buffalo buffalo.
The coolest part about the word buffalo is actually that any number of the word can be used to create a complete sentence. Notice:
This really could go on forever and ever although it would in fact become increasingly difficult to diagram said sentences. I won't even bother with the diagram of these because trust me you don't want to see it. Sit back clear your head reread everything you just read and be amazed. After all isn't that what the English language is suppose to do for you?
I am so glad I will never have to learn English as my second language . . . and you sound like you have a little too much time on your hands. It's rather amusing, though.
Steph, you summed up exactly what I was thinking...he's got way too much time on his hands! Either that or a really cush job where he sits around doing stuff like this all day long. Either way, must be nice......
Wow.
In that third to last bullet, I think you mean "Buffalo bison...", not "Bison bison..." but other than that, makes sense for the most part, though I don't understand how the repeated 'intimidate' and 'bison' statments work... that would be like saying "I like eating eating eggs eggs"... that's what it sounds like in those last 3 bullets to me... =P ah well... the obscure coincidences in the English language make lots of room for puns...
Actually they both work and it falls under what you were saying about words repeated, it makes more sense if you add in the implied 'that.'
Bison, that bison intimidate, intimidate Buffalo bison = Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Wow I am so glad i had college English. It totally prepared me to read that post, And I though College English 2 was a complete waste of my time..Oh yeah that's right it was and I didn't learn a bit of English from that prof either..oh well guess I am out of luck!!
I think the saddest part was that you got this many comments for this completely retarded post.
You're just bitter Dan.
Wow, just the inspiration I need as I work on my homework for my grad class...
You have way too much time on your hands.
wow.
you kinda lost me on the last 2 bullets, but it makes sense now when you add in the "that".
still...where do you come up with this stuff?
