Fancy word game

[RT Livingstone]

At the time I studied the ill effects of imbibing in alcoholic beverages, I gave up such studies.
*****
I suppose I shall play with myself.

[RT Livingstone]

I assume based on the lack of others participating, that in order to continue the game, in future I will need to engage with the person that is myself.
*****
People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.

[Synistor 303]

Personages dependent upon personages abide to be by definition the most felicitous personages residing in the macrocosm.

****************
****************

Anything you can do I can do better

[Cora Courcelle]

I win.

=====================

We're going to hang out the washing on the Seigfreid line,

[RT Livingstone]

We will smash, demolish, and penetrate the Germans' hardened fortifications.
*****
Obviously, you've never been to Singapore.

[walking stick]

It is extremely clear that your travels failed to include Singapore.
=========================================

Hey good lookin' what you got cookin'.

[Sorontar]

Pray tell, what is it that your telescope reveals to be alight?
========================
The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face

[Melrose]

Kindly do me the courtesy, when next incising my anterior region, of performing the act overtly, in a manner befitting one of intestinal substance.

***************

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

[Cora Courcelle]

One forenoon I executed a pachyderm in my night attire

=============================

How he got into my pyjamas I'll never know!

[RT Livingstone]

The manner in which he adorned himself in my nightclothes, I am ignorant of.
*****
Now heaven knows, anything goes

[Sorontar]

I will ask the Archbishop for divine guidance in order to make any of these mechanical monstrosities function.
=====================================
Why don't you go where fashion sits.

[Captain Steele Tear]

There is a room, though hard to find, which contains the full array of human clothing... you should go there.
-----------------------------
I found a downed elephant, oddly dressed to be sure, but needing a new gun handle I harvested it's ivory while wondering where an elephant finds pajamas covered with cogs and clocks.

[RT Livingstone]

So I came up with this idea for a little language game. as far as I've seen you all are really good at this so it'll be easy!
the goal of the game is to "translate" a sentence to an as fancy, classy or complicated way as possible.

you respond to the poster above you.
you translate their sentence and then post a casual sentence yourself. (please keep this nice and family friendly...I'm fine with suggestive lines, as far as they don't violate the forum rules. I don't think I have to explain, do I?)

so here is my sentence for the next poster to translate:
"no, I'm not coming to your birthday party."

[RT Livingstone]

A pachyderm in PJs is not easily found
*****
These pretzels sure make me thirsty.

[walking stick]

This collection of knotwork in dough, with a smattering of salt on each piece, cause me to feel decidedly parched.
=======================================================================
They're just there to get you to buy more beer.

[RT Livingstone]

The raison d'etre for these comestibles is to increase the consumption of fermented wheat, hops and barley.
*****
Dead men tell no tales.

[Cora Courcelle]

Males of a post mortem persuasion are unable to participate in the aural chronicling of imaginary narratives.

================================================

I'll just be a moment dear.

[RT Livingstone]

My cherished pet, please excuse this brief interval without my presence.
*****
I'm just a material girl living in a material world.

[Cora Courcelle]

As a person of the female persuasion I want stuff, lots of stuff, and so does everybody else on this particular planetary body.

==============================

I just want to be loved for myself.

[RT Livingstone]

My fervent desire is to be cherished, for no other reason than for my very essence as a being.
*****
I once had a love, and it was a gas.

[Will Howard]

Her excesses kept my airship aloft
=========================================
We have no recourse save to ban smoking while aboard an airahip...

[Kensington Locke]

After extensive review and discussion in committee, it has been decided that igniting and or inhaling the fumes of tobacco, but not to include the mastication thereof, shall, within the confines therein of the aeronautical vessel, be disapprovingly disallowed forthwith, lest we suffer a preventable catastrophe.

========================================================
Hi.

[RT Livingstone]

Greetings, that is to say ahoy there, to you, from me.
*****
I would like to buy some cheese.

[Kensington Locke]

This one is most desirous of purchasing some fromage.
=====================================
Where's the beef?

[RT Livingstone]

Pardon me, but would you be so kind as to locate for me, in both terms of longitude and latitude, the bovine flesh delicacies?
*****
I need a lover who won't drive me crazy.
