You're furious with me
for pointing out a couple of stupid errors on your part, and we all know
(yes, we do) that you cannot admit even the slightest innocent mistake,
because that would threaten your fantasy of being some sort of
uberintellectual Nietzchean superman. That's exactly what make catching
you in an error so much fun.


Um......o.k., you caught me. You're right......of course. It was all an
elaborately constructed cover-up designed to draw attention away from my
bone-headed error. I mean, given the context of that discussion, who could
possibly have predicted that Joe Idaho would capitalize on my
misidentification of a cultural icon and my confusion over the distinction
between a breed of sheep and a sub-atomic particle with a sly allusion to Al
Martino?

Dan Marino. And don't forget the one about the capitol of Norway. But
maybe your all time funniest error was when you blamed a simple spelling
mistake on your spell checker, which suddenly started working again for
no apparent reason.


Wolfgang
who, breaking with tradition, offers an apology to all of roff.

I don't know anyone, online or off, for whom I have more contempt than
you. It would be tempered with pity if you weren't such an insufferable
prick. You're resentful of your small little life because you just know
that you're really the smartest person in the world, and that your
station should be higher. So you come to ROFF to build yourself up, but
the way you do it is by tearing others down. Too bad that plagiarism no
longer works in the Google age.

My God, you are a pathetic piece of nasty ****.

Hm......well, o.k., I guess I should have guessed that even YOU
wouldn't believe that my spellchecker actually WRITES all this stuff.

You know, I noticed that too. What an amazing stroke of luck (for me)
that you are perhaps the world's leading authority on Microsoft
product deficiencies, ainna? So, why did it do that?

Well, there's roughly 3 billion women.

It would be tempered with pity if you weren't such an insufferable

Alas! Your pity was my last best hope!

You're resentful of your small little life

Actually, that small little wee tiny life is about all I've
got.......it would hardly be in my best interest to be resentful of
it, now would it?

because you just know
that you're really the smartest person in the world,

Well, Feynman's still dead, and there's something just a wee bit fishy
about that Hawking guy.

station should be higher.

Huh? What's higher than Emperor of Usenet?

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

My God, you are a pathetic piece of nasty ****.

YOU, on the other hand, are having quite a week! You have, thus far,
demonstrated that I don't know the capitol of Denmark, the capitol of
Norway, where Copenhagen is, who John Elway is, who John Denver was,
the difference between a quark and a neutrino, the difference between
a neutrino and a merino, the difference between a city and a cookie,
the location of Fenway Park, where the Chicago Cubs play baseball, who
Dan Marino is, and who Alfred Cini is......and it's only Thursday!

One can hardly wait to see what the rest of the week has in store.


For Kennie:

WRITER'S WORKSHOP
LESSON III: Verisimilitude.

I thought this was gonna be a thread about Copenhagen.

You mean the smokeless tobacco?

No, the capitol of Ecuador. [BAD! NO one will buy it.]

No, the capitol of Fawn Lake. [BAD! Mythical place. No one will buy
it.]

No, the capitol of Holland. [BAD! Copenhagen IS the capitol of
Holland......what's the point?]

No, the capitol of Norway. [PERFECT! 87% of readers will miss it.
When the error is pointed out to them by a super sleuth they will look
it up. Mission accomplished.]

See?

Hard to tell which is more preposterous, that someone whose
so-called writing is little more than barely intelligible
garrulous bombast would have the brass to offer anyone else
a "writer's workshop," or that you'd really expect anybody
to believe the contrived lies concocted to explain away your
open displays of ignorance.

Tell us Wolfie, who wrote "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" ?
