"I couldn?t care less if the entire building spontaneously filled with eagle semen." -Russ Pitts, The Eagle Semen Email

"Like wrestling an excitable dog in a paddling pool full of disembodied breasts." - Ben Croshaw, Saints Row 2 review

This thread here serves two purposes.
First, it is a celebration of the nonsensical statement, that enigmatic phrase that makes absolutely no sense, but is a riot to read.
And secondly, it is an attempt to humor the Escapist Staff/Gods watching above as we bring to light our favorite nonsensical statements.

Simply put, why do you think nonsenscial statements (NSs) are so effective despite making no sense and what is your favorite NS?

The point is to make it sound like it should make sense, but be open to interpretation so that everybody can relate to them. Like the old standby:

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" ~ FDR.

It contradicts itself, when you think about it deeply, but when you look at it on the surface, it's inspiring.

Words to live by.

My friend Katie after ONE margarita when going through the drive through at Wendy's.

(After placing our order)
"Katie, did you want something to drink?"

"Yesh... I'll have... a baked potato!"

"Dude, I just went through the McDonald's drive thru in a shopping cart!" Myself, apparently. The video was on my phone the next day, so I guess its true.
