Sesquipedilian Concours

Via The Commisar I am led to this at Dean’s who asks us to use these ten words in a sentence. There are challenges from Michele, Blog Jones,Chicago Report, Punning Pundit and now of course myself.
I have a feeling that the above might qualify as link whoring but that is nothing to my claim of scoring maximum points below, although I haven’t quite worked out Dean’s scoring mechanism:

100 geek points for each word you get in, with score doubling for every word you get beyond five. Bonus points for style will be granted at the whim of the judge. Minimum 100 points for all reasonable attempts.

Does that mean total scores double for the sixth word and again for the seventh? Or just that the sixth and seventh are worth 200 each? Whatever, I believe that my score and two bits entitles me to a cup of coffee somewhere or other.

Arthouse Snuff Movies for the Welsh.

“Do stop being a flibbertigibbet, cease this persniketty kerfuffle, your plethora of expressed discombobulations questions the value of our art, the serendipitous juxtaposition of love unrequited and the onomatopoeiac smack as our callipygian actress lands after her defenestration will win our film a multitude of awards.”
“Well, yes,” said Dai,”but look you, all I want to know is why is it my sheep that has to jump out the window, see?”
