Sexiest word alive

Lozenges.

You have a point!

Interestingly, as derived from a mathematical formula, the sexiest sentence in existence is, apparently, "My breast flipped inside out so my nipple touched my heart."

I don't know if I agree with this display of mammarilian sadism or not, but I refuse to argue with an algorithm.

Speaking of which, I will see your 'lozenges' and raise you 'décolletage', my own favoured entrant into this particular competition.

I must add, I wholly resent the move to have it renamed, according to the whimsy of French linguists, 'décolleté'. What a load of tripe. Assassinating the humble 'age' in order to make way for an extra 'é', hmph!

Why not? You might find you agree on more than you disagree!

In the words of Albert Einstein, 'blow that for a game of soldiers!'

Also.

Algaerhythm - seaweed that rocks out.

That is all.

I always thought that Al Gorithm was Al Capone's slightly disreputable brother...

Not to be confused with Al Gorisms, such as "Please don't recount this vote!", "The day I made that statement, I was tired because I had been up all night inventing the Camcorder!" and, "I have ridden the mighty moon-worm."

Herr Kingsley, a few months ago I had the misfortune of being introduced to this Al Gore video. It contains some choice quotes, including:

"He is the author of the An Inconvenient Truth"...

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr ULGOR!"

"Hello. Bedankt. Ik ben Al Gore!"

Also, it's introduced by a polyester seraph from the same interstellar world that brought you the songs 'I'm a Barbie Girl' and ABBA...

Ulgore, enemy of Gojira.

Eleven louche lilac-coloured lizards loll
On eleven lavender-liveried
chaise longue,
Luxuriously licking lozenges,
And lapping up
blanc mange...

Twist your tongue around that!

You're all right. Elbow Baggins and the Offal Troof. Thank you for your time. I should do one word posts more often.
