And that got me thinking -- a usually dangerous endeavor.
Thus, I got caught up paradoxically exemplifying and equivocating a
dichotomous illusion of epistemological alternatives and then redundantly
creating a relevant portfolio of evangelical thesbian diatribes
--eventually I got bolluxed while promulgating these esoteric admonitions
on this quest or clarity.
In fact, the polysyllabic linguistic expressions of finite semantic
propensity are and were, in reality, veraciously effective in
concatenating a series of supportable alternative expressions, concording
minimal loss of explanatory lucidity when grammatically and sedulously
reduced in length and augmented inter-sententially by utilizing, in the
active case, semantic pedagogical isomorphisms.
While in some cases, this may be pedantic, unless such extrinsic
expressions of understanding and agreement are translationally invariant,
will will miss opportunities for facilitating cognitive retention and will
be potentially inhibiting rampant reversals to non-comprehension.
I'll simply esposit a few other explanatory quotes and comments:
The eminent Italian-American poet laureate, Lawrence Peter Berra, said,
"It ain't over 'til its over." and
"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
Then he added: "I really didn't say everything I said."
Picking up on this, Dale Berra, son of Yogi said,
"The similarities between me and my father are different."
"Half this game is 90 percent mental."

To clarify fuzzy thinking, we also have:
"Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 1992 because we received
notice tht you passed away. May God bless you. You may re-apply if there
is a change in your circumstances.

Doublespeak -
"They're multi-purpose. Not only do they put the clips on but they also
take them off." - Spokesman explaining why his company charged the Air

"The streets are safe in the city of Philadelphia; it's only the people
that make them unsafe." Former Mayor and police chief Frank Rizzo

Lastly:
"We all get heavier as we get older because there is a lot more
information in our heads."

Maybe that explains this whole paradox! I've got a million of 'em.
