(taking CapK's lead, I offer this E-mail I received today...) Don King Enjoys Grandilomentitudinous Sandwich Las Vegas boxing promoter Don King described himself as "outrighteously mesmerated" by a deli sandwich served to him at the Treasure Island Casino's VIP dining room Saturday. "The meatumental pastramification of this pumpernickelously toastified bread was augmenticized by slatherfication in sumptuous Switzerlander cheesiness," raved King following the meal, "and expertaciously mayonnaised by a condimental Hellmanifestation of sand-wich-Kraft-Miracle-Whiplash proportions that thrillified me down to my delicatesticles." King also praised the sandwish's generous helping of onions, lettuce and pickles, offering its maker his "Undulatronic Spamboozled Donkey Kongratulations, Gumpzilla." ...Ænigma kicked into overdrive on this one, then began to sing "Dai-sy, Dai - sy.... give.... me... your... answer.... do...."

There must have been something mindadulterating added to that comestible that I would not care to partake of.

Don King Enjoys Grandilomentitudinous Sandwich[
Oh, AnnaStrophic, that's hilarious! Just what I needed .. a hearty laugh on a snowy winter morn. You've got to give him altitudinomagnokudos for outragimaginative use of language! Somewhere, somehow, some of those flights of fancy have to get into some kind of lexicon! wow

That was truly a tour de force. If he came up with all that on the spur of the moment he is a true genius.

>a true genius
Really????? I thought is was kinda annoying. Imagine having to have dinner with a guy like that. Can't get a word in edgewise that's for sure. And too much made-up adjectives to be sincere. Sounds like those tacky car commercials.

true genius I wouldn't go that far, but for a boxing promoter it's not bad. There's more than one punchline there.

I gotta agree with Faldage that if King did indeed just rattle that off on the spur of the moment, it does demonstrate genius, however perverse. I fear, however, that if musick saw it in the Onion, it's bound to be apocryphal. And as for you, wsieber: I wouldn't go that far, but for a boxing promoter it's not bad. There's more than one punchline there. Your fluency in a second language has never been so well demonstrated as in this pun.
