That Dennis Olsen guy was really really mean and scary. Gave me the shivers, he did. Made me want to wet myself. Do you know if he makes house visits? *wink* Expectant Regards, Andy Boy

Imitation - the highest form of flattery. It is difficult to judge the balance of the individual attempting the imitation here, for they have attempted to insult me in Quotably Quoted #2, and yet were very insulting to Mr. Yourdom when he sincerely apologised for misleading pathetic memetic doomers in his apropriately titled thread: Calling all pathetic jackasses (to which, even more appropriately, this imposter responded first...).

Vindicated Regards,
Andy Ray

It's not everyone who can work a variant of "pathetic memetic doomer" into every other sentence. Now try, "She Sells Sea Shells By The Seashore."

Why is it difficult to judge the balance of this individual? He insulted you, a polly, and then attacked "Yourdon" for betraying the doomer meme. This is perfectly consistent with a "memetic doomer," is it not?

Perhaps you forgot which side you're on.

>> Imitation - the highest form of flattery. <<

I dunno. That imitation strawberry flavor they use in Kool-Aid is sort of an insult to strawberries, if you ask me.

This raises all kinds of interesting philosophical questions. Like, suppose I said:

"Andy Ray is the best and most wonderful person in the whole world and he is very smart and attractive and he is never wrong about anything at all."

Then, would this statement become even more flattering if I posted it in teal? What if I signed it Ananda Ray, or Anita Ray, or Andy Rage?

And which name would be more flattering, Andi Ray or Sandy Ray?

McLaughlin, I have to state that of late you are reminding me of the classic loser from the days of my youth. You must all know of what I speak:

The wimpy little weakling that would parody the jocks to hide his own inability to perform on the athletic field.

Or the pizza faced weasel that could not buy a date but would make fun of all of the girls to hide his inability to perform in the back seat of the car that he never had.

The social outcast that would poke fun at the more popular guys to hide his inability to perform in conversations with the opposite sex. For that matter, with any sex.

The poor little pencil dick that would laugh at anyone with more than 2 showing during gym class showers, to hide his own inability to show, period.

The obnoxious little loser that would stalk around in the dark outside of the prom dance, to hide his inability to just be normal.

So I must now ask what it is that you are hiding? Does the person known as CPR intimidate you so badly that this is your only tact of response? Break free from your chains of shame and get a grip, literately that is.

>> So I must now ask what it is that you are hiding? <<

I'm hiding my pizza-faced whimpy poor little outcast pencil dick that can't be normal or perform on the athletic field.

Ouch! I guess I can't hide it from you!
