Mark Noonan’s all-time greatest sentence

Mark shows why he’s still the high pimp of the wingnut game:

But whatever we do, we will have to make certain it happens, because if we don’t, it won’t. Period.

I can only give my sincere salute.

I’m pretty sure he swiped that from Buckaroo Banzai.

 
 

Dude! Thats like sooo deep man! (toke) It’s like…if you don’t do it, it WON’T happen! (toke) Dude!

 
 

But whatever we do, we will have to make certain it happens, because if we don’t, it won’t. Period.

Mark was one of those kids on the playground who delighted in saying things like “I would if I could, but I can’t so I won’t.” as fast as possible.

 
 

No sentence has never been made in such detail or with such care.

Oops.

 
 

Perhaps Noonan is attempting to get a gig writing for those Aflack commercials starring Yogi Berra? You know, writing for the duck.

 
 

Legalize: “And Dairy Queen pays him with three-day-old French fries, which is just as good as cash.”

 
 

If this Blogs for Bush thing doesn’t work, maybe he can write lyrics for Van Halen.

Those are actually Noonan’s two best sentences.

 
 

Shouldn’t the period after Period be an Exclamation point?

 
 

Wait. I still don’t get it. In order for it to get done, someone has to actually do it, and he just wants to make certain it gets done. But if nobody does it, it won’t get done, right? So will it or won’t it?

I get it now. Remember the character from the Andy Griffith show who was at best, mildly retarded, and at worst criminally insane? He was violent, childish, obsessive, and wholly illiterate. I think Andy’s girlfriend tried to teach him how to read and construct actual sentences or something.

In any event, once he learned how to draft a whole sentence, the guy was very proud of himself; he showed promise as perhaps becoming a functional member of society. Later, however, I think he got picked up for breaking car windows, or setting some old lady on fire.

I don’t think I’m too far off the mark.

It’s, like, sometimes you do something without doing something. and then nothing happens. word.

I hope Thompson hires this guy as a consultant.

Ouch. I guess they better hit up Conservative Book Club to do another bulk purchase. The gears of the Wingnut Welfare machine must be kept lubricated!

 
 

“I’m pretty sure he swiped that from Buckaroo Banzai.”

Wherever you go, there you are.

Very heavy. Noonan’s cemented his reputation as a deep thinker. Well, he’s cemented something, anyway.

It’s not a good sign when Gizoogling a sentence makes so little difference to it.
OK, two sentences:
But whateva we do, we wiznill have ta makes certain it happens, coz if we don’t, it won’t. Period n shit.

 
 

Some people have a way with words. Others – oh – not have way.

Some people have a way with words. Conversely, for some other people, the words have a way with them. I have this feeling that feral words have taken Noonan’s brain over completely. They are running around inside his head like 4-year-olds on a sugar high; playing Twister in his Cartesian theatre. He hears the words coming out of his mouth wibble wibble wibble, or sees the words lining up on the monitor wibble wibble wibble, and leans back in his seat with that sense of contentment you get from constructing a beautiful, meaningful sentence…
Actually it could happen to any of us.
wibble wibble wibble

 
 

Very Rumsfeldian….

Having a good vocabulary is the most important… uhh… I think you know what I’m trying to say.

 
 

I was gonna say, “Surely not!”, but daaaayummmm!!!
