From the song "Twelve" off of Jurassic 5's Quality Control:
Ayo I'm lampin, I'm lampin, I'm cold stone lampin
High pitch, beat drumsticks like Lionel Hampton
What have we stumbled into?
So Peter has stated that people like bullet lists. Let's examine why.
•Lists are easy to start. Nothing is as daunting as many paragraphs of stuff.
•Lists often abandon the use of certain parts of speech making full sentences short little thought morsels.
•People feel like they are reading really fast when they read a list, making them feel smart.
•Lists allow for quick one liners and inside jokes.
•The constable is in the water closet.
•punctatin grmarnd spellig cn oft be ditchd
•People who write blogs are usually boring folk who never do anything. Lists sort out the chaff.
•Lists give the impression that one has a lot to say.
•Even if they don't.
•They can just keep making new bullets.
•And no one can stop them.
•Unless they can catch them in their teeth.
•The bullets that is.
•I don't think a Saber Tooth tiger could do that.
•That is why they are extinct.
•Too many bullets and too little intratooth contact.
•This is why dogs are better.
•There are many other reasons why dogs are better than cats.
•The natural shape of the dog's mouth makes it look happy. Cat's look pissed off all the time.
•Dogs can open their mouths wide enough to wrap around an intruders leg. So can tigers, but they are expensive.
