Case of the Mondays?

"There is an intonation that a personage possesses an exemplification of the Mondays."

I'm Gonna Make Him an Offer He Can't Refuse

"I'm gonna engender him a propoundment he can't repudiate."

Here's Looking At You, Kid

"Hither is espying you, bairn."

Mind what you have learned

"Commemorate what you have matriculated. Manumit you it can."

Do or do not...there is no try

"Effectuate or effectuate not. There is no hankering."

Oh beHAVE!! Yeah!

"Oh comport yourself! Affirmative!"

If you build it, he will come

"Contingent upon superconstructing it, is a patripotestal disembarkation."

There's no crying in baseball!

"Caterwauling is null and void in baseball!"

You can't handle the truth!

"You are unequipped to wield the verisimilitude."

You make me want to be a better man

"You catalyze me to hanker to be more adroit."

Resistance is futile.

Recalcitrance is nugatory.

More Star Trek

While I had Star Trek on the mind, I can't leave out this beauty of an obfuscation by Dr. McCoy:


McCoy: This woman has immediate postprandial, uppper-abdominal distention. Now, Get out of the way!
Kirk: What did you say she has?
McCoy: Cramps.

William Shatner is 80 years old today!

Although it was Mr. Spock who was the master obfuscator, Captain Kirk did have his moments that need no help from Rephrazer. Here are a few unretouched examples:


"Intuition, however illogical, is recognized as a command prerogative."  ~ in Obsession 


"What we require now is a feat of linguistic legerdemain and a degree of intrepidity." ~ in The Undiscovered Country


Capt. Kirk: [talking like a Chicago mobster] We're gonna make some old-style phone calls from this locale. So you locate the man on the other end of the blower and give him a ride to this flop. 
Scotty: What? 
Capt. Kirk: [normal] Find the man on the other end of the phone, and transport him to these coordinates. 
~ in A Piece of the Action


Happy Birthday Captian Kirk.

Mama always said...

"My matriarch always said, “puerility is as puerility perpetrates.”

Say hello to my little friend

"Enunciate your salutations to my Lilliputian consort!"

Do you understand the words...?

"Do you auscultate the locutions that are exuding from my embouchement?"

I'll be back...

"I’ll exercise recrudescence."
