Yeah, as much as it pains me to admit there might be something almost coherent under that pile of dung spilling forth from him, there’s actually a pattern to it! (You do an excellent job of following the formula here.) As long as you don’t pay attention to the actual meaning of the words used, there is a kind of logic.
I long, long time ago, I was one of the creators on the Discworld MUD. One of the NPCs I created had several templates to draw from which had variables that would be filled in from different lists of words, some from the Discworld stories, some from ideas within the MUD itself, and some just completely random.
Listening to that NPC talk, even though I wrote the code and therefore knew exactly how it was done, she actually sounded like there was some sense to what she was saying, but it was always just out of your grasp. If only you listened a little more, perhaps she’d tell you something important and profound …
Seems familiar, doesn’t it?
