5. One last thing before I go...
Oh freddled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblochits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee my foonting turlindromes.
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
see if I don't!

14. The list is missing another
You can tell this list wasn't DU specific since there isn't a freeper to blame Clinton for the light bulb's burning out on the list.

15. 301
One to change the bulb, and three hundred to start a flame war about the candidates they don't support.
