Lojban has all of the wordplay and fun constructions of any natural spoken language. The difference is just that it parses cleanly. This means you can actually create <i>richer</i> constructions that are arbitrarily cleverly convoluted... you just have to hope the reader has enough stack space in his head to parse it!<p>Personally, I won't miss the self-parodies in English like the sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
