Shelley*** BZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzt ***
Challenge - this is not a proper sentence anymore, Shelley!
"Drifting insidiously beyond the bluest movie called by its longest legal and proper (and yet rather improperly suggested) subtitle, my dog leaned over the deepest and brightest ravine so that diabolicle disputed by an..."
If Shelley can provide an ending which turns this into a "proper" sentence, then I lose for an incorrect challenge; if not, then Shelley loses...
Either way, feel free to start another sentence while we wait for Shelley's response...

Shelley can put the punctuation any way he/she (I looked at the home page, but no clues...) likes, Grey - so long as it forms a plausible sentence with all the words used in the same order, and no new words added before the last word played. (I think that sort of made sense...)

Sorry to be a pedant, but isn't
Drifting insidiously beyond the bluest movie called by its longest legal and proper (and yet rather improperly suggested) subtitle, my dog leaned over the deepest and brightest ravine.

(You're right, WF, and if Drool Frood had challenged that would have been it - once another word is added, it is the person who added it's responsibility not to finish etc...)
precociously

I could always dispute the challenge by saying that the sentence didn't make sense before I added the word - but the above entry suggests I should have pointed that out. *sigh* Okay, here I go -
"Drifting insidiously beyond the bluest movie called by its longest legal and proper (and yet rather improperly suggested) subtitle, My Dog leaned over the deepest and brightest ravine so that Diabolicle disputed: "By an...
...ammendment to the laws of this country, I have the right to shoot you if you do not leave my property."
There!! I have changed 'My Dog' and 'Diabolicle' into the names of two people. by adding in some punctuation, I think it could make sense...
BTW, I am a chick - how many guys do you know called Shelley?

Nice recovery, Shelley! I concede that game to you!
(btw - on male/female debate, reference the Britist TV series of the 1980s, "Shelley", where the title character was played by Welsh actor Hywell Bennet - a man...)
..."frequently"

Thank you Peet, I owe it all to a sleep deprived stupor!! Ewww - a guy called Shelley, and I was born in 82 too - what was Dad thinking?
"CAmels humping precociously are frequently...."
