Here are a number of pedantic circumlocutions.  How many of them can you unravel?
 

1.  A mobile selection of petrified matter agglomerates no bryophytes. 

2.  Desist from enumerating your fowl prior to their emergence from the shell. 

3.  Scintillation is not always identification for an auric substance. 

4.  A plethora of culinary specialists has a deleterious effect on the quality of purees, consumes and other soluble pabular. 

5.  A chronic disposition to inquiry deprived the domesticated feline carnivorous quadruped of its vital quality. 

6.  It is in the realm of possibility to entice an equine member of the animal kingdom to a source of oxidized hydrogen, however, it is not possible to force said animal to imbibe. 

7.  Persons deficient in the faculty of determining values move with impetuosity into places which purely spiritual beings view with trepidation. 

8.  If Jack persists without respite in constant prolonged exertion of physical or intellectual effort he will develop into a youth slow and blunted in perception and sensibility. 

9.  Immediately upon the absence of the domesticated carnivorous feline, the common rodent proceeds to engage in sportive capers. 

10.  A round, bulging vessel made of staves bound with hoops, that is destitute of its contents, is productive of the most deafening din. 

11.  Products of ingenuity are the offspring of exigency.

1. A rolling stone gathers no moss.

2. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

4. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

6. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

9. When the cat's away, the mouse plays.

3. All that glitters is not gold (actually glisters from shakespear) :>)
5. Curiousity killed the cat.  :>) (easy one for a cat to guess )
7. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. (somthing I have done often in life)
8. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. (followed by the axiom that all play
    and no work makes Jack a jerk)
10.An empty barrel makes the most noise. (this applies to nearly all politicians)
11. Necessity is the mother of invention!!
