... so I suggest we play a game. It's called 'Cheddar Gorge', and it's from the BBC's humorous radio panel game 'I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue'. I don't know if it'll work on a messageboard, but it might.
The point of the game is for each person to contribute a word to a sentence, without bringing the sentence to an end. So instead of a final noun, you may find yourself using all manner of prepositions, adjectives, adverbs and occasionally punctuation to prolong it.
No-one really wins, but you lose if you end the sentence.  Reply with one word -- any word, provided it makes grammatical sense -- in the title of the post and no message, so it can be read easily. Please feel free to have multiple goes.
I'll start.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving

If you stand for Freedom, but you wont stand for war, then you dont stand for anything worth fighting for.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.
