The rules are simple, find the pattern in what I’m saying, make up your own and we’ll carry it on like that. No limit to players. Can be anything, letter pattern, sounds, pun, or more complex. I’ll start off with a few:
The school is deep, but the pupils are profound.
The river is not deep, the trees are not profound.
The book is deep, the pages are profound.
Follow me!
To be good is deep, to be bad is profound.
John Stuart Mill is deep; Marcus Aurelius is profound.
TheVioletCreep is deep; brujaja is profound.
Am I right?
The bottle is deep, the liquid is profound.
The car is deep, the path is not profound.
The stage is deep, the dancers are profound.
Yes?
Siblings first believe right others
Spouse holds new if ever
Descendant hears sun
You mean, it’s not double letters?
maggenpye, that’s a good one there. I keep feeling like it’s on the tip of my, er— mind. Decendant = son, hears sun. Hmmmm.
Well, not to bollux the thread, but I didn’t realize that I got one too:
Had Abel scented odors here, afraid again the lid’s ajar, skin clammy ominously and nothing open; squandered gravity as other humans aver; awaited axiomatic, mystical ozone?
Correct!
Not quite.
First yes.
Siblings first Believe Right OTHERS.
Spouse holds neW IF Ever.
Decendant hears sun doesn’t work, though.
Can obscure academic admixtures be often ignored? Oh, sing “Aja,” “Oklahoma!” blissfully amid another hopeful spinning equine dream! Aspic still dulls every sweet examined lying azure!
^ Is it the sound, or letter pattern?
Probably asking too much of you… >.>
Madame Abigail actually adores her affianced ogre; she likes Ojai, akin blamelessly,ambiguously, anonymously, to Spain; aquatic trees, aspen, steer, bulls; overtures await oxen, Byzantine Ozarks.
It gets harder every time, believe me!
Sure as hell seems like it, what I thought, is now totally thrown off.
o.o;;
Brujaja; Can Abner scale advantage before / after Aggie’s short time? Eject skis slowly, smiling, sneaking for sport squad prize. Assured status, Tully’s svelte swarthiness extracts hypothetical izards.
Mine; Brother, wife - what do you *hear *when you say sun?
Now I’m not getting the first - things contained within the deep are profound?
Dang, maggenpye, I had just written one that almost made sense when my son got on my PC & I couldn’t post it. 10 minutes later I went to post and you were too fast for me!
“gardeners absolutely accept, ideal newt-offending agrarian thistle-fighters, ejecting ikebana, allow amphibians only to apprehensively equip arborists, as it must overtake awfully expensive hysterical azaleas.”
Now, about the deep vs. profound:
jeeps are deep. cars are profound.
loops are deep. knots are profound.
sleep is deep. rest is profound.
walls, doors, and rooms are deep. houses are profound.
Abby, Addie, Effie, Aggie, Ellen, Emmy, Annie, Harry, Larry, Terry, Bessie, Otto, and Izzy are deep.
Kilroy is profound. 
Got it. You even spelled it out (hur hur) in an earlier post and I didn’t get it.
This is an old trick. Build a paragraph in this intriguing way to show that you grasp its instructions. Composition should contain nothing racy, radical or rancid, but must follow strict conditions of construction. Actually it’s only a solo condition, barring mishaps.
A mishap is difficult to avoid, though. Particularly if you do not want awkward wording. You can accomplish it, obviously. But it calls for a lot of caution.
:rolleyes: I’d copy Gollum, but it’s not fitting your phrasings.
Let’s go with an old favorite: Analogies!
Sun is to cold as mind is to:
a) Hot
b) Breakdown
c) Acid
d) Soul
Hoopy Frood has it right. Dismissing a common initial would hint strongly towards a solution, but many might still fail to follow its formula. **Hoopy **must favour us with his own conundrum. Prior post is also spot on.
Pedescribe’s could be either b or d - depending on the usage.
Alliteration?
Am I truly this incompetent?
For the other, I’d say D
Why did I mention Hoopy Frood’s full alias, but not his following pal’s? It it sound? Is it consonant? Indubitably not. You’ll work it out, it’s so simplistic, you can’t miss it! Just try any count from A to Z to find which is most common, but not in this paragraph. And I’m still waiting for Hoopy’s contribution.
So…
I was correct? More or less?
