Because I do so love the rhetorical devices...
Polysyndeton – Unbridled use of conjunctions instead of commas, similar to how you once described the gifts Santa brung you for Christmas, when you were a much more easily excitable 6 year old. Effect is that of an active, building culmination. It’s essentially the orgasm of rhetorical devices. Or at least the blind date who won’t shut up.
- The french toast has bananas and strawberries and cream and cinnamon, and the bacon is applewood and the orange juice is fresh-squeezed, and there's free internet access), and it's sunny outside and trending warm and I have to eat quickly so that the mice don't cook in the car (yes, all windows cracked and the cage covered from sun), and here are a few notes from the trip. From ‘Don’t Fence Me In’ – Bitch, Ph.D.
- The new car has all these detachable and foldable/removable seats, and you can wipe it off, and there are all kinds of speakers, and this roof-window thing that lifts very slightly, and it can go on snow if you need it to. From ‘XM Radio’ – Awesome! A Blog.
- It’s 76 degrees and sunny and cloudless and perfect and at about 1pm yesterday I couldn’t stand being at work anymore, so I left. From ‘Hooky’ - The Midwestgrrl
- Only go if you really like kittens, because there's no plot, or funny ending, or music, or editing. From ‘Thursday, September 14’ – Chowflop
(The omission of conjunctions is asyndeton. It’s also like an orgasm, but one with no breaks in between. I’m guessing.)
