The Effusive Praise Compositions Thread

Have you ever received praise so over-the-top that it makes you uncomfortable? In this thread, you may effusively praise someone here.

Anyway, to get serious, if you look at Earth from the moon, the planet looks small and its inhabitants are so minuscule they can't be seen with the naked eye. Except for Claude Whitacre whose vast genius, brilliance, and charisma alters the physics of the universe in such a way that his image is projected onto the stars. His multi-dimensional presence attracts extra-terrestrial pilgrims and they traverse vast inter-galactic distances, inhabit human bodies and buy vacuum cleaners from him to pay homage to him, .

    USA.

    Sale Item - VTR76DB version 2.0

    Claude is to me what velvet and silk tissue paper is to my bottom after a particularly hot curry. He's like lashings of strawberry cheesecake smeared all over me and just looking at him makes me want to cover him in pepper and sneeze all over him. His vacuum cleaners are so amazing my wife has divorced me to marry his VTR76DB version 2.0 and I can't say I blame her, sounding far better than a Ferrari with the matching relaxing under tones of a troupe of praying Buddhas, I let her go without a second thought.

    That day when Claude called at my door with the VTR76DB version 2.0 is ingrained in my minds eye for eternity, not just in this life but all of them. It was the greatest moment of all time. Thank you Claude, feel free to use this as a testimonial for future customers so they too can see the quantum physical level of your genius, bravery, incredible human emotions, looks, fitness but above all, your insurmountable Mount Everest like forehead.

    Sincerely,

    Richard Van.

    It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. I met him long ago on a train bound for nowhere in particular. I was sitting in a passenger car by my lonesome when a stranger wearing a Kangol (which I thought odd for a white gentleman) sat down across from me.

    Without introduction, he began talking to me about the wonders of the human mind, spirituality, and quantum physics. I could barely speak, not from a loss of words, but from a lack of opening. It was as if speaking gave him breath or that the mere act of imparting his wisdom fueled him with whatever strange lifeforce he required.

    As I stared out the window, small towns passed by like pages ripped from a calendar. Worm hole this, and Superman that. Drool slowly dripped from my chin as I fell under his circumlocutious spell. We were now "discussing" his "37th Theory of Cosmic Ideology." I felt my brain curl into the fetal position from the mounting pressure.

    As the train mercifully eased to a stop, the stranger stood and removed his Kangol. The sun light streaking through the window shimmered off his voluminous bare skull, dancing like a crown o' fire.

    His last words to me, as he handed me a business card, were, "So what I've been trying to say is, buy the Riccar. You can never go wrong with a Riccar."

    I did as I was told and my wife has never been happier. Thank you, dear stranger. Thank you for your glorious insights into the inner workings of space and time...and vacuum cleaners.

      I thought these were supposed to be "Over the top".


      My one true love, came into my life, just when I was at my most vulnerable.
      He made me laugh. You know, that silly laugh that is more about love than humor...the kind of laugh that stays with you through the day...and comforts you through the night.

      He has the most beautiful head of jet black hair. His hair is full and luxurious. I know, because I see the top of his head often. And he has a beautifully sculpted goatee....the kind of goatee that acts like a sign, pointing to his exquisitely shaped lips....as they say "Open for business".

      His voice, like the voice of hundreds of androgynous angels...is melodious...and sounds like the gentle breeze....of digested Indian food.

      Whenever I'm feeling like I don't measure up, like I'm not important...he shows up at my door. Instantly, I feel taller, more manly. And after just a few words exchanged...I feel so much smarter.

      I know that he lives somewhere in Ohio....but the truth is, he will always live in my heart. Sparkles. Sunshine.

      And, because of the way he treats me during lovemaking, I decided on his pet name ..."Steely Dan"..

          That's what I thought, the first time I saw it.

          maybe I should have said "frames his exquisite lips. I was just too excited when I was typing.

          How in the world did you capture Claude's "come hither" look?!

          Well, it's either his "come hither" look or his "I'm smelling my own poof-poofs and I like it" look. Only his wife can possibly tell the difference.



          Added later: A little bit of Claude trivia: Either look sometimes conjures the other.

The only people that ever call me a " creepy old white guy", are teenage girls.....and middle aged women....and other women....and parents...and neighbors.....and cousins......but never a celebrity chef. There has never been a celebrity chef that has called me a creepy old white guy.....not one!

                    You forgot ".......and other creepy old white guys."

                    Hey, wait . . . you mean you think that "creepy old white guy offering a 'come hither' look to a roll of silk toilet paper" icon looks like you?

                    I don't see the resemblance.

                    But since you think so, then consider my comment as providing balance. After all, being compared to velvet and silk toilet paper can swell the head of most anyone -- and we don't want that, there's enough glare coming from your forehead in here already.

                        Claude you seriously need to update your Avatar image, with the much cooler one above!

                        I know that your present one, is an effective tool to stare down potential threats, newbies with delusions of grandeur, but still a good idea!



                        And l have seen the online pinball Claude and Dan, machine.

                        Impressive, especially how it says, blah, blah, when the ball hits the paddles, and the multiball feature.

                        Can't say what the theme is behind that concept, since this machine is for adults only, and carries a 18+ rating!

                        Claude and Dan have clocked it several time's but that is only because they rented out a genius chimp!

          Kurt, please make it stop!

          It's the same look of Cousin Eddy in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when he's talking about his dog Snots suffering from Mississippi leg hound syndrome.

    I guess I should praise Thunderbird just for using the word "effusive" in the title.

      I have a feeling TB learned that word from his son, 4.

      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

        Oh so why don't we just rename this thread the Praise Claude and Riffle Thread he said sarcastically...

        When you all know theirs only one person on this forum who deserves real praise, the one who suffers through it all and keeps smiling, pretends to be innocent and sweet and modest and not understand stuff but then comes up with the most cutting, witty, intelligent comments that sends all of us who think we are clever and funny scampering to the bottom of the bill at the OT comedy club, shamed and defeated.

        You should know who I'm talking about by now. The one, the only, Betty Boop with the big hair, the not once, not twice, but three times a lady, Miss Terra K.

        The minute I saw her photograph I knew that my recent marriage to Christine Brinkley (Claude's Ex) was a sham! When there's that class of a woman out there I had to find out if she was taken. I hired a team of investigators who pierced my heart with the devastating news that she was already happily married to the Charismatic Preacher and Author Joel Osteen and had 6 children. A swarmy, slimy looking man in my opinion, a man who made Tony Blair look cool. He obviously has something? (wears very baggy pants on stage for some reason?)

        So, as I await my posting to the French Foreign Legion (to forget) I ventured to the Genealogy website Genegeology.com to trace her family tree just so I can understand the linage that led up to this amazing woman. My hands trembled as I printed out and held the report and this is what it said....

        K Terra, or Terra K .. The name is an abbreviated translation from the ancient now defunct Yugoslavian language meaning Terrible Cakes. The Terrible Cakes was a family of bakers who operated in the 13th century in that land. They got the name from the locals who sampled their wares, they had not even heard of flour so what they produced was pretty dreadful. Using sawdust just did not work!

        Perchance, the king of the region, Claude 4th was doing a whistle-stop scroll signing tour of the area. He stumbled on their shop and ordered some rock cakes. What ensued was not pretty. King Claude broke all his teeth on the first bite. They really were just rocks sprinkled with sugar. so angry was he that he banished them from the land. They set out on Reed Rafts and for 3 years, living on seagulls and Monkfish they drifted aimlessly until at last they hit land. It was the the America's

        They soon made contact with the local Indian tribesmen (The Tagiscomeze) when they explained what they made the chief welcomed them in with open arms. "We are so glad you came along" he said "We are so fed up with eating buffalo and bunnies"

        That was until of course the chief took the first bite of their Belgium Buns. He said : "This big heap pile of poo!"

        So, they were banished to the wilderness. For two hundred years they survived on Goats Milk and cactus es until finally the British arrived (Horrrray!) carrying flour. a little bit of trading secured some of this magical ingredient. The passed down skills came in handy and soon they came up with the ultimate creation, the pinnacle of cakes, yes! the Krispy Kreme doughnut was born!

        It took America by storm and made the Terrible Cake family (who changed their name to the Terra K's for obvious reasons) very wealthy.

        Terra K is the last in the linage of this amazing family. The Smithsonian wants her to sit in an exhibit for 10,000 bucks a day.

        But Terra said no! She wanted to continue the great work, doing replacement voice-overs to everyone of Claude's 5,760 Vacuum cleaner promo videos.

        Such is the resolve and dedication of this amazing woman!

      Effusive is a remarkable word. It starts with an F-U sound, so one would figure it is about insulting or cursing someone, but it is usually about praise and compliments. Who woulda thunk?

        Glad you like it! I'm playing around with free auto-tune plugins.
