In a secluded corner of the park near the water, a man stood masturbating (or possibly shaking off after urinating) in the bushes. I am fairly sure this was not a performance art piece, as the park’s other visitors were assiduously ignoring him.in my book about unusual things to see and do in New York City, and at the same time hoping that whatever evil pain has possessed my back goes away before I leave tomorrow to visit my bestest buddy Dr. P (who I have not seen since September - sob!) in Florida, others may want to check out a depressing essay about the overwhelming guilt I feel about not wanting to have kids in light of Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is today, and/or an inspiring article about two interesting women working in different ways to bring reform to fundamentalist Muslim communities.
I believe that the above is the longest run-on sentence I ever produced.
Are you sure you didn't study German? The german language is notorious for sentences such as that length.
ReplyDeleteActually, I did study German for four years in high school. While I was awful at learning it (as was the case with Spanish in college - although my grandparents speak multiple languages, I did not inherit their facility for languages), I always appreciated not only their long sentences, but also that many words were very long as well. Like vacuum cleaner, which is something das Machinethatmakesyoufloorscleanthroughsuction.
ReplyDeleteYes, and if you don't know a word for something, you can just make it up and it'll likely be right, as in the case of the vaccuum cleaner example.
