      <![CDATA[It sort of seems though that run-on sentences -- with lots of interstitial breaks, including, though not without exception, those that have interstitial breaks in themselves -- are an imperative, not to mention a large smattering of -- perish the thought -- idioms and, like so many poetic sonnets -- lots of similes and not-quite-relevant allusions; clearly, without a doubt, there is a formula -- a fairly obvious, visible one -- that can be followed to make a sentence like the ones we see before us here.
