If someone wants to write a summary I'm all up for reading the short version.

edit: I have determined 15 sentences to be the ideal length of communication that inspires maximum truthiness feelings while retaining the attention of people who were only midly curious in the first place, the sort of curiosity that would be sated with 15 sentences.

I will, however, accept entries of any length because beggars can't be choosers, right. I'm not entirely sure anyone will write anything anyways.

Verbosity is distraction. Say what needs to be said and get the fuck out. And don't used made-up words like "truthiness"

Truthiness is a word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

You're queefingly correct. I just looked it up on dictionary.shlom and it was coined by Stephen Colbert in 2005. Well, I'm peptizinaly wrong then. I'm not even angry as a bird that you correctingtaliafied me. After all, Bazinglish is a living languish. 2 + 2 = 5

Here's your participation trophy. You won.
