I hereby start a Squiggly Aphorism Competition (SAC), open to everybody.
Participants can input more than once and post reply-statements. The major point is to be a winner without violence or rudeness, but on the contrary with creative use of culture, sharpness and coolness.
Take it as a competition of style: logic, humor and charisma are welcome, pointless vulgarity is not. If you want to use a bad word you can, but will have to do it with style and use your imagination. For example an assh0le (sry for bypassing filter, it is just an example) can be a bass bowl using creative rhymes or a hollow mule as a funny metaphor.
Logic, philosophy, science, mathematics, physics, poetry, even sport based metaphors. Any academic discipline-based statement will be highly valued unless quoted or lacking personal touch. Let the metaphor that sleeps in you anticipate you.

The player will introduce himself and number his single statement, so that each aphorism will have a different number.
I will decide winners at the end of February, so there's time for everybody to express themselves. I will only participate for fun, no prize for myself.
Please don't break the few simple rules, even if you want to post a comment, do it then introduce yourself, number your statement and let yourself fall where you never was. (after mine, aphorism 2 etc...)
Try to keep the aphorism at the bottom of your post and don't forget to number them, please. Add as many as you want but number them all.
Winners will not regret playing.




My name is JellyJoe.

1) Any subsequent statements are on the side.

4) the Monty Python song (I like Chinese) could also be "I am attracted to short people with a yellowish complexion that live in a country surrounded by Russia and Australia and who counterfeit practically everything from milk to watches"

I am still afraid that my cultural background does not allow access to the inner workings of this thread.

hehehe good, R2. Creative.
Doc, don't worry, there is time and I feel you will find a mine within yourself bro. Just express something you somewhat "like" to be said, funny or not, serious, sharp, silly or deep. It's pure freedom of speech, that is why I asked to express it in a new way. Just try to tell yourself.
Remember you can post as many as you wish. It's a free speech corner, just avoid idiomatic expressions or quoting which might cage you in pre-said things and concepts.

Not sure if I'm doing this right, but it is fun.

9) Uninitiated newcomer, avail yourself of the worthy purveyors of mechanical time indicators who have proved their integrity through many satisfactory transactions instead of stepping into the void of the unknown and scurrilous scoundrels.

Hiya.
An aphorism would best be described as a saying; something like a platitude, but witty and memorable.
The Book of Proverbs would be a collection of aphorisms. Will Rogers was good at them.
HTH...

Maybe I'll win a consolation prize for the most entries. 15) If you can't win with quality, place with quantity.

A good replica.....

Not so much a master of Fakery but a man with consumate skill who's quality time pieces pay respectful homage whilst allowing the poor down trodden underclass man the experience of enjoying an item flaunted by the Bolshoviks.

Nice ones guys.
Awesome 11, Spiccato. That's the spirit.
Remarkable n.13, 007. See? You have an interesting point valid on anything with that.

Guys pls, don't break the rules, post comments, but always name and a numbered aphorism to end the post ;)

I don't get it. This is not a literal-minded group.
They could take lots of what they call simple conversation and
post as aphorisms. Some squiggly.
