Years ago, there was an animated sketch show on MTV. One of the bits was Nelly teaching an Elements of Style class. Students had to edit their paragraphs down to succinct, active style until they were just left with "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes." I've looked for that clip for years and never found it.
I found this because I was looking for the sketch. I just referenced it at work and wanted to share the video. Oh well. We keep the flame lit.
