Just noticed I got a 'lighten up' lecture from that humourless curmudgeon Leatherhat.  Please tell me someone out there understood I wasn't taking myself too seriously.  I was pretending to debate an octopus fcs.  Did no one sense the deliberate ironic juxtaposition?  Was calling it the 'cephalopoidal prognosticator' not enough of a clue?  I called myself 'challenged' in the first line and said first-persons shooters were a fad!  Classic self- deprecation.  Did anyone else take that seriously?  Really? .I thought the Tickle-Me-Gizmo thing might be worth a slight grin. Nothing?  Oh well, if I have to explain then apparently my scintillating wit does not translate to the print medium.  Or I'm not funny.  Moving on.

i think you might be taken it a bit too serious that people took you serious.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
