"First of all, we must internalize the 'flatulation' of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the 'Indianisian' proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the 'redundance' of my quote, unquote 'intestinal tract', you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the 'Afro-disiatic' symptoms which now perpetrates the Jheri Curis activation. Allow me to expose my colon once again. The ramification inflicted on the incision placed within the Fallopian cavities serves to be holistic taken from the Latin word 'jalapeno'." - Oswald Bates

The illusion of praxis is strictly congruent with the authentication of the public sphere.

The fiction of pop culture asks to be read as the invention of the gendered body.

I think this is about Bruce Jenner. Or Moochelle.

The eroticization of normative value is virtually coextensive with the engendering of linguistic transparency.

For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss — a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity’s mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world’s thirstiest gerbil.

Felicity had a deep,throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
The sound made Ricardo faint dead away, and he hit the ground like a Hefty bag full of vegetable soup.

Personally, I prefer the complaint-letter generator. It's very useful when sending complaint letters about Hillary to the local newspapers. Just type in her name and a few other details, and bingo, a great complaint letter is generated.

I got one that makes sense - sort of

“The illusion of the natural is, and yet is not, the ideology of the gendered body.”

>> This is almost as good as the Chomskybot <<

Thanks for the great link! Here's an excellent paragraph the bot generated for me:

Note that the theory of syntactic features developed earlier can be defined in such a way as to impose the extended c-command discussed in connection with (34). Let us continue to suppose that the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial raises serious doubts about a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. Furthermore, the notion of level of grammaticalness is rather different from the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed grammar. However, this assumption is not correct, since relational information is not subject to nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. Nevertheless, this selectionally introduced contextual feature is, apparently, determined by irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules.

>> I prefer the complaint-letter generator <<

Another fantastic resource! I asked it to compose a complaint about the liberal talk radio station in my area, and here's a part of what I got:

The key to pointing out the glaring contradictions between the liberal talk radio station in my area's idealized view of hoodlumism and reality, and it's the only way that most people will ever learn that we've all heard its pontifical pronouncement that it has a close-to-perfect existence that's the envy of the exploitative scalawags around it. Obviously, that conclusion is based on unconfirmed gossip, questionably-sourced reports, and blatant speculation, but it's also the case that there is no such thing as evil in the abstract. It exists only in the evil deeds of evil organizations like the liberal talk radio station in my area. Allow me to close by stating that the liberal talk radio station in my area's henchmen always detect profound wisdom in what is most incomprehensible to them personally.
