"We decided, purely for the sake of Bernankularization, to see if Greenspeak was being used in the casinos, buffet lines and exotic dance clubs of Atlantic City. Gaming is big business in America and it needs to be free of contradictory Greenspeak dialogue."

The warriors appeared haggard, red-eyed and smelled slightly off. “Our finances are depleted, we’re thirsty, tired and hungry” said their fearless leader Jay Thomas as he emerged from the party van that parties no more. His clothing appeared to have been lost along the way as he wore only boxer shorts announcing that he had ‘Lost his [posterior] in AC’.
