Orrin displayed a distinct sense of abulia, when he learned that Eric is not Julia.

The hallmark of John Kerry's campaign is an overwhelming sense that he suffers from abulia.

Ooh, that's better than mine.

This is more like a description of the word.

"I can make a decision, I think." - John Kerry

This is an example of abulia.

During moments of stress, John Kerry finds himself humming the Yale fight song, "Abulia Abulia."

The tragedy of modern secular liberalism is that, while it promises soaring dreams of freedom and happiness, it delivers only a creeping, collective abulia.

OR

A daily dose of Brothersjudd is all one needs to stave off the horrors of abulia.

(What an ugly word!)

The children suffer outbreaks of clymidia
can't break open an encyclpedia
are hooked on slime from bad media
and find everything "non-extreme" full of tedia..

because a nation of parents has abulia
brought about by too much academia

Uh, I think I'd win if I wasn't so abulic?

Politicos, to try to fool ya,
Depend on ennui or abulia.

John Kerry gives abulia a bad name.

The Curse of the Bambino may manifest as managerial abulia.

Sen. Kerry is ebullient with abulia.

Sorry, Orrin. I'm just not up to using "abulia" in a sentence today. Maybe tomorrow.

Kerry's abulia is making me a bulimic.

A bully with abulia,
is no match for a Bush, yeah,
and no ennobler -
he'll fool ya.

Abulia now, abuse ya later.

What does "best" mean to OJ when he says he'll give a book to the person who make the "best" use of the word "abulia" in a sentence?

Oh stranger, when passing, please pray for the soul of Abdul Abulia-Mir.

Victims of abulia will frequently deny their condition, referring to their symptoms as nuance.

The French and German Washington embassies have decided to close their doors as the newly elected president's nuanced approach to decision making developed into a full blown case of abulia overnight. Apparantly, the president is no longer confident that he has their unconditional support in his efforts at multi-lateral negotiations with N. Korea and Iran and is unsure about acting alone. In a lighter note, the White House food service staff is losing sleep over the president's inability to decide on a main course at the evening meal, cancelling his choices after the preperations have begun and forcing the executive chef to plan dinners far into the previous night. "If this continues, the White House food budget will need to be increased dramatically. I guess taxes are going up", he commented to this reporter.

As the baseball playoffs begin, Red Sox fans descend into abulia while discussing their teams World Series prospects.

John Kerry, the abulic Senator from Massachusetts, served in Vietnam.

I though we had to stick with 'abulia'. No fair inventing words like abulic, abuliquotiousness, abuliquocity or abuliquatulence.

Okay, a limerick may not be what OJ had in mind, but "abulic" is the accepted adjectival form of abulia.

------

There was a "nuanced" public servant
who claimed right to rule by the mob's dint;
Though abulic-appearing,
he didn't lack steering-
his will went wherever the mob's went.

David Cohen wins.

Excuse me while I grab some paper towels to wipe up the soda I just spit all over my keyboard and mouse.

Or, maybe BB wins. His entry rocks my world.

Oops. I think I've got a bad case of abulia right now.

In my defense abulic is the adjective form. If that is not allowed then:

Senators who spend more than 1 term in the U.S. Senate often end up suffering from abulia which makes it difficult for them to effectively function once they reenter the real world.

Abulia's son, lost in the great watery world, grabbed hold of purple prose, and floated to Cambodia.

Because so many Libertarians are addicted to drugs, they and their Party are always suffering from abulia.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Ebullient until buffeted by a bout of bulimia, Boris slumped in a torpor of abulia, dialectically riven by the competing charms of seppuku and Pepto-Bismol.

Senator Kerry, lapsing into a moment of Carter- esque abulia, stood agog under the stagelights, his long, creased face registering an unadulterated terror.

I'm far too late in this game, but how about: Lo, the seventh seal was broken, and I beheld the four horsemen of the leftist apocalypse loosed free upon the land, and their names were Nihilism, Nuance, Ennui, and Abulia.

Kerry: "Abuila; I've spilled my pate. Get over here and clean it up before I send you back to Guatemala...on second thought, I'll clean it up myself...no, wait--you get it. Oh, nevermind; I've got it..."

Abulia, abulia, my kingdom for abulia!

Abu lived in Abulia when the M-1 rolled up his street; it was only then he decided.

I vote for Jim Gooding's "purple prose" sentence.

We have a very highbrow group here. No one's submitted "Abulia?! I hardly know ya!"

My vote is for

"Victims of abulia will frequently deny their condition, referring to their symptoms as nuance."

by djs

"Upon learning of the second jet hitting the world trade center I sat in my senate office in a total state of abulia, however if I'd been in a Florida primary school at the time I'd have acted immediately." Quote from 2004 presidential election loser Lurch Adams.

They're all so good that it's an abulic situation.

I'd say brian, with BB a strong second.
Axel Kassel gets the "Most Charmingly Bizarre" ribbon.

If voting for yourself is disqualifying, (I thought mine quite clever), Brian's four horsemen deserves 1st place.

I like Brian's or Rick T's.

Give it to BB.

Rick T

First is best: The Other Brother

I voted for myself before I voted for Brian.

I vote for, "Victims of abulia will frequently deny their condition, referring to their symptoms as nuance." Short and sweet, serving a definitive summation of the very term it uses. Webster's would do well to replace it with this quote as the current definition.

The Other Brother then Brian

The first was the best.

Next time, The Other Brother should have the decency to hold off entering until a few days into the contest so that others' motivation won't be spoiled :-)
