The Sucky Sentence Game

OK, everyone . . . I have a new game for us all to play. It's called the Sucky Sentence Game! Now, it's fairly easy to play. Just think of a crappy, overly-detailed, painful-to-read sentence like the one I have listed right below:

In acquired admiration of the respected soldier, Lieutenant Derard Hutchins saluted with his right hand raised high, then lowered it with experienced agility to his side and watched as the soldier returned, gracefully, the show of respect to the individual that had raised him from being a simple, computer-loving teenager, to being an enduring, skilled, combat-friendly war hero at only the age of twenty-two.

Doesn't it read like pure crap, almost as though it came from a poorly-written history book article? To qualify, just submit and see how your horrible sentence compares with that of others. Enjoy!

Unmistakably, and almost inevitably, the fact remains that whoever that very much wants whatever to happen whenever it's supposed to happen, whether with regard to that certain person's personal timing, or with regard to the time and course of nature itself, but the thing that has been hoped to happen finally does not occur naturally or even by force due to some unforseen circumstances that bar the occurance of this activity, that certain person who has just been casting his hopes into practically nothing will most definitely succumb to a clear and visible amount of rage which may cause physical damage to either the people around that person, or the person's material surroundings, or emotional disturbances to those who have to bear the effect of such uninvited rage, or even some discreet but still not negligible level of noise pollution depending whether or not that person has decided to take his rage into a form of verbal expression that exceeds the general limit of decibels that an average human being is able to tolerate under normal circumstances where the listener is not impaired in his or her hearing.


In short, when things don't go the way you want them, you get pissed and u start ranting, which may annoy people.
