Obfuscation Challenge 4

[ESquared]

In this thread, you must NOT eschew obfuscation. In fact, you must embrace it.

Take common sayings or objects and convert them to archaic, outlandish, and overblown--but recognizable--speech.

For example, if I say:

Inhabitants of supercooled liquid silicate domiciles ought refrain from casting lithic projectiles.

You know that I am referring to the saying, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

And if I refer to a

canvas tension structure

you could not possibly miss that I mean a tent. (Ooh, triple the number of words!)

Let's keep it clean, and clever, so the thread does not transport to a flaming netherworld in a small handle-bearing container constructed of dried woven reeds!

[IknowMe]

I've heard it many times but it's still a personal favorite.

"Up that popular stream of polution without proper means of propulsion"

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[IknowMe]

With desire and determination you can find direction.

"where there's a will there's a way"

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[jebenson]

One cannot obtain one's desire at all times, but if one makes an attempt, it is possible that perhaps one shall find one receives what is efficacious for that person.

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need.

What else would one call a hamburger?

Or if it's the "all beef patty":

The recipe song of a well-known fast food chain:

I’m delighted to have been awarded an emblem resembling a celestial point of light, but have a desire for knowledge leading to the identification of the person responsible for recommending my elevation to celebrity status, and the reason for bestowing that honour upon my humble scribblings.

Anyone want to own up so I can subject them to a prolonged bout of osculation?

AnotherHiggins, here's my favorite punctuation challenge. The sentence below is grammatically correct with the proper punctuation:

James where John had had had had had had had had had had had a better meaning

[MeGustaXL]

Phil,
How about:

[white]James, where John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better meaning.[/white]?

Your insight is clear and unbiased, but however entrancing it is to wander unchecked through a garden of bright images, are we not enticing your mind from another subject of almost equal importance?"
