This Is the Title of This Post, Which Is Also Found in the Post Itself
This is the first sentence of this post. This is the second. Third. The purpose of this sentence is to state the obvious, that this is a post containing sentences that refer to themselves. This is the title of this post, which is also found in the post itself. This sentence indicates that the title of this post is loosely based on that of a story about a boy named Billy. This is almost the title of the story, which is found only once in the story itself. This sentence describes Billy's mother's bulging eyes and protruding tongue and makes reference to the unpleasant choking and gagging noises she's making. This sentence is meant to inform you that the preceding sentence is from that horrific story. Enjoy this sentence. Fragment. Edit. Sorry. This is the last sentence of this post.

This is the first sentence of my comment, which should serve the purpose of grabbing your attention. This sentence should contain a thesis statement, but doesn't. This sentence is pointing out that obviously, this comment is equally self-referential. A sentence fragment. Another obligatory sentence fragment.
This is the beginning of a new paragraph, which would discuss one of the points raised in my first paragraph if any such points existed. Instead, this paragraph is raising the question of whether this post of yours is meant to be a continuation of your posts on self-referential paragraphs. This sentence contains no useful information.
This is the first sentence of the final paragraph, which should conclude the comment, but doesn't. This sentence missing a verb. Sound like Hulk speak. This is the end. My only friend, the end.
This comment serves only to correct a typo in the previous comment. This sentence is superfluous, as I could have easily said in the last sentence that "self-referential paragraph" should have been "self-referential paradox." This sentence jokingly implies that I meant to do that so I could make this additional comment.
The purpose of this comment is to inform you that this post was not intended as part of that particular series, but surely its author will find some excuse to refer back to it in a future post.
The first sentence in this paragraph is true, and the last sentence in this paragraph is false. This paragraph has nothing to do with this comment. The first sentence in this paragraph is false, and the last sentence in this paragraph is true.
Paragraph.
TEXT
THIS SENTENCE IS IN ALL CAPS. FRAGMENT. ALL CAPS. SORRY.
