I say "horrifyingly" because the poem steadily devolves into lines stretching twenty-one, then twenty two syllables, climaxing with what might be the longest line in the history of English poetry, a twenty-three syllable behemoth that reads like a line from the Fox News pledge of allegiance (and you know they have one). ❋ Unknown (2009)
This makes for a horrifyingly effective -- and surprisingly funny -- gothic tale at first but as the narrator brings us into his world with his wandering, stuffed sentences, the novel begins to linguistically unravel into the swarm hinted at in the title. ❋ Brian Joseph Davis (2011)

But the best of what Gilliam comes up with is by turns breathtakingly imaginative and horrifyingly vivid, whether it's the Hungarian March serving as a backdrop to the outbreak of world war one, Faust's seduction of Marguerite while Kristallnacht is taking place outside her window, Marguerite's final scene awaiting the train that will take her to a concentration camp, or Faust and Mephistopheles's ride to the abyss in motorbike and sidecar. ❋ Unknown (2011)
I must burn those bridges; I will crush the ideas, drive them before me, and hear the lamentations of their women, because there is something more important out there: someone on the internet tried out the product called, horrifyingly, My New Pink Button, the temporary genital dye that I first heard about over on the PPK, but sourced back to Jezebel. ❋ Unknown (2010)
That this is a thread about Rove and that you are a poser, or (horrifyingly) you really are this inept of a tea bagger. ❋ Unknown (2010)
