1. There are lesbians. There just are.
2. Polysyndeton yay! (To borrow an example from... I think it was

3. Iamb what iamb. In other words, since I found out I could do this with some facility in college and wrote an entire novel in iambic pentameter, I create iambs in all my sentences.

5. Lust objects have red hair.
