Troublesome tempestuous tapestries.  As tasteless as a tarty tarantella. Significantly senseless.  Quintessentially unquotable.  Positively preposterous. Necessarily nonplussed and nominally abnormal. Exponentially and exceedingly uneventful.  Undeveloped, uncorroborated, irresponsible, and finally, bountifully morally bankrupt.  I opine that I have proven my point.
