Seraphic Secret Contest Winner
Thanks so much everyone. This was really a tough call.
The entries were on such a high caliber that we had a hard time deciding on a winner, but ultimately this extremely clever sentence by YF emerged as the clear favorite of our judges.
Ted Kennedy, a jehu if there ever was one, found his imparlibidinous relationships with his co-workers, the reason for their rampant attempts at egrote.
YF's melding of reality with a nice simple sentence structure pushed this sentence to the head of the class.
YF, please e-mail your snail-mail address to us and we'll send you the Seraphic Press™ tote bag. Congratulations!
With each contest the sentences get better and we thank all our extremely literate and creative obscure sentence builders for their amazing efforts.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Aw shucks! Congrats YF. I liked yours too.

Wow - what a great suprise! I am really honored to have won this as there were so many great submissions. I count myself honored to be among the many of your faithful readers and so appreciate the thoughts you share with us each day. Also - thank you so much for introducing me to so many other fantastic blogs that you highlight. Keep up the great work and I will proudly schlep my tote bag around Lakewood!

Hooray YF! The bag should come in handy if you should need to egrote in the future. And now, you have a better verb for it than "calling in sick."
