In Buffista Fic:
erikaj: Thursday100 is having the worst drabble challenge evah this week. A story that is one hundred word sentence, grammatical and exact. Why? And I think it can't be done, either. And ew. Signed, short, choppy sentences' bitch. (resignedly dusting semicolon.)
NovaChild: Well, Erika, you do raise a good point about the intense difficulty of constructing sentences of such an absurdedly high word count, especially if the labyrinthine sentence is required to tell a compelling story; however, I do believe (nay, I KNOW) that it is possible, perhaps not even especially difficult, to construct such a montrosity of a sentence so long as the writer is not especially interested in maintaining the interest of his or her glorious readers for an extended period, and is capable of using hundreds of scintillatingly lusciously luxurious adjectives and equally attractive adverbs with every conceivable noun.
Brenda M in Bitches:
ION, the dog chewed up a bath bomb.
This was discovered via her suspiciously fragrant breath.
Still cleaning diet coke off the screen.
Holli,

Now I'm envisioning Zombie Douglas Adams. "Towellllllssss..."
In The Jossverse In Other Media:
Theodosia: Turning to diamond strikes me as a dubious superpower.
Hec: Not if you're fighting The Glass Baron!
In Spoilers, random speculations:
Victor: Spike could be Joss' Jay & Silent Bob!
Amych: Fine, but why did he have to be Jay?
Discussion in movies about a stupid anti-plot twist article. Fun begins with...
Jessica:
No, no, you're missing the point -- plot twists are bad.
Sean K:
What, he wants all filmmakers to be Ernest Hemmingway?
"The hero walked down the hall toward the door. He lifted his right hand and turned the handle. He pushed the door open. There were no surprises on the other side of the door."
Jessica:
Yeah! Now that's a story I can get emotionally involved in!
JohnSweden:
Nice crisp prose, too.
tommyrot:
I don't know... I was getting kinda freaked out for a while, wondering if the door would open or if there were any surprises behind the door. The story really should have mentioned the lack of surprises and the opening of the door first.
Thomash:
Don't forget the walking part, that was my favorite.
Aimée:
Personally, I like how he walked with NO expectations of anything happening.
Damn, that's Fellini-esque film right there.
tommyrot:
Kinda like Beckett too.
bon bon:
There are no surprises in this post.
