Ok! Ok! Ok! (<-- use your best Joe Pesci voice.)
I might have one for us to mess with! Altho, I don’t expect a long life on this.
I’m too lazy today (only today, of course) to see if this has already been done, or if it belongs elsewhere. But here it is. If it flops, it flops. If it's dumb... whatever. What’s to lose other than my dignity, right?
· Just for kicks… one person writes a sentence that emulates a famous quote or other generally known saying. This emulation should be as flowery or over written or murkey as possible, but without losing the original fundamental meaning. (Like if you were grossly overusing your thesaurus, for example.)
· Then the next person guesses the saying it has so periphrastically copied, then provides the next overwritten saying. Easier than it sounds..
Examples:
1. A lone avian creature resting upon a prehensile, multi-digital extremity, has an equal value to a double quantity of such creatures residing within vegitatious verdant organisms.
Which, of course, is “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
2.2. A double-handled receptacle used for food preparation consigning to another somewhat similar-prurposed receptacle as pigmentationally void of all hue reflecting light.
"The pot calling the kettle black."
Okay? Here’s my starter:
The premature avian plume-shafted creature acquires, and otherwise ensnares, the burrowing, legless, invertebrate.

Okeh, folks, let's try an easy one:
