Great lawsuit. Somebody ping the shysters.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

James Lileks is an entertaining fellow, who takes mere pleonasm to new literary heights as he describes his day.

First? Top Ten?

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

I think perky Katie would have a pleonasm and gush all over the set if she got to interview the bent one.

In keeping with the spirit of today's thread:

When falling down a deep chasm,
He saw a spectral phantasm,
Which, aurally speaking
Said this limerick is reeking
with gratuitous pleonasm.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Butt, I don't udderstand their frustration.

EVERY time the democrat Senators make a speech, the MSM and NY Times have plentorgasms about their hot air.

[MortMan]

On and on ran the pleonasm,
Interminable, this verbal spasm,
Droning words in endless supply,
Speaking nonsense, no reason why,
Hillary's having a pleogasm!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

At this moment in time, in the dark of the night (or is it the light of the morning?)the spectral ghosts of my ancestoral forefathers who knew the metaphoric and symbolic arts of poesy, and studied deeply into the depths of the way of the kenning, high metaphoric ways to say the same or similar things interestingly, say a pox and a plague be upon all critical complaining of pleonasm spasms!

Wait...help! my vocabulary's being hijacked by John Kerry.....

Now starts the sixth month of congested noses with ear ache...and asthma. What fun be this year...

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

AlGore, reigning ruler of pleonasm
Has such intense enthusiasm
On Warming that's Global
His intentions are noble
So dissent is considered iconoclasm

Pleonasm's Supreme Commander Salutin' Senator John F. Kerry.

This picture is banned as it may upset
the teacher's delicate sensibilities.

[Xenalyte]

My all-time un-favorite pleonasm is "I thought to myself." Who else are you supposed to think to?

[MoochPooch]

If brevity is the soul of wit, then I marvel at the lack of pleonasms among FReepers, who are definitely right to the point on everything.

[Texan5]

It is too damp to paint, so I'm here doing invoices and making beef stroganoff-

I've seen with my own two eyes
The paranoia of the 'rats
I've heard with my very own ears
The rustle of their tinfoil hats

From my one and only 'rat neighbor
Whom I saw at the store today-
She commenced to tell me that
She hopes Al Gore gets his way

As for my use of pleonasm
Mentioning Al inspires the excessive-
There is not no better example
Of survival of genes recessive

[TheGrimReaper]

Pleonasm, superfluousness, and abundant blather marked the inauguration today of New Orleans Mayor Ray Chocolate City School Bus Nagin...

The irony of Nagin's installation falling on the first day of HURRICANE SEASON is just too rich.
However, reliable sources say that Mayor Nagin is preparing diligently for this year's potential disasters by practicing to the new "Tae Bo Finger-Pointing" video..... :-|

Ted might have been drinking, he thunk,
The night that his Oldsmobile sunk,
But the truth is a chasm,
from his pleonasm,
He could have just said he was drunk.
