That requires prep and proper execution.<br /><br />It's structured ramble with a point. Loose enough that it sounds natural, but contrived enough that there's perceived value in the break.

I've never believed, "If it was good at 30 seconds, it's better at 10. And really, can't you say it with a grunt?" <br /><br />Value is the key.
