Sleuth decided to use all the words in a sentence. Here are her two versions:
After a very long night of dining on Ramoneur, the Frelons of the Chauve-souris decided to breakfast on Robinets and Chouettes washed down with Cafard, but found they required many applications of Vis after learning they had inadvertently Gazon-ed on the eye-scorching Pastèque instead of wine labels.
***
She sneeringly glared upon the elitist wine labels at the Chauve-souris, but mirrors cracked in the process, throwing the Pastèque gazon throughout the room like a laserlight show gone mad, stultifying the gay Frelons; some dropped their Robinets as they were lifted to lips and Chouettes hardened in midchew; as glasses of Cafard shattered on the floor, it became horrifyingly apparent to all...there was not enough Vis in the universe to make the horrid antidote known as Ramoneur look remotely edible, even if it meant escape.
Amy and Mrsgunka followed suit:
Amy:
"Pastèque!" shouted the old man, waving his fist, upon almost being sideswiped by an even older bicycliste.
"Gazon! GAZON!" screamed the bicycliste back at him. "You are a true Cafard! A Chouette!!! Your kind should be frelon-ed in the Chauve-souris. Yes!"
Never at a loss, our first old man let loose: "May the robinet vis your ramoneur! Oui! It is what you deserve."
Having both cleared their sinuses, as they did in this exact same way every morning, each one went his way. With a smile. Thinking about the checkers the two men would play tonight after dinner, as they did each night, with each other...
Mrsgunka:
I just know, my get up and go has got up and gazon! Just put in two batches of frelon in the ramoneur. When it's done I'll throw on the chouette, fix the pasteque and pour the chauve-souris. Pass the cafard, say grace and all will be well again. Vis? Robinet anyone?
[There are more definitions dotted around on the last thread.]
The true definitions will have you laughing at the creative efforts above. The thought of drinking cafards makes me shudder!

[I mentioned Baldilocks as a nickname for and old "friend." I came across the word when looking up "chauve," which means bald. It's also used as a pejorative term, i.e., baldilocks!]
