Yes, once again it’s Jeremy Irons Day. Doesn’t seem like a whole year has passed. The only rule is that it must be a complete sentence (noun + verb). So let’s get started: Jeremy Irons. ---

Mother is mostly good natured despite her overburdened share of chores in the home and normally accepts help in good spirits when it’s offered but there is often a dark foreboding as soon as she sees his eyes begin to dart thoughtfully between the freshly laundered shirts in the basket and the assembled board in the pantry and a palpable tension can almost be felt in the air when Jeremy Irons. ---

Life has never been easy and today is no exception so mentally, Jeremy Irons himself to his desk and he has no choice because despite the questioning and criticism he has endured from so many for so long, today he takes his chair at Air Traffic Control Tower, Atlanta, Georgia. ---

Also, my first one had some potential, but damn it needed editing! The palpable tension can almost be felt?! :smack: Can I do over? > [@](#): > > Mother is mostly good natured despite her overburdened share of chores in the home and normally accepts help in good spirits when it’s offered but there is often a dark foreboding as soon as she sees his eyes begin to dart thoughtfully between the freshly laundered shirts in the basket and the newly assembled board in the pantry and the tension in the air is almost palpable when Jeremy Irons. This is the first time of heard of Jeremy Irons Day and I do have to sleep, but I hope this thread gets some wind. Obviously my take on it is long run on sentences, but I hope to see other styles later (and more long run on sentences), when normal people are awake. ---

Rémy was French. Ron had multiple personalities. They had little in common but an inability to use linking verbs in speech. Still, it was to be the beginning of a long friendship they day they met: “Je, Rémy.” “I, Rons.” ---

As Jeremy Irons, his thoughts turn to better days, before he sent his money to the preacher who was screwing the hockey player, before the stock market crash, before those really poor real estate investments in Estonia, when he was a just a carefree lad plying his trade and not having to take in other peoples’ laundry to make ends meet. ---
