Merry Christmas Fuckers!
I didn't get a whole lot under the tree because I didn't ask for anything since my mom got me a DUI Laywer and a New Car this passed semester. But there was a car vaccum, a new bedsheet/blanket set, 150$ and some other assorted stuff (my sister won't be here till tommorow but she told me she's giving me 4 games from Atari, she works for them). And mom is taking me clothes shopping later this week so hopefully I can score some Lacoste shirts.
It's kind of weird not having my sister here but she's engaged and her and the fiance spent last christmas with us so it's his family's turn this year.
Also, I'm on my 5th watching of A Christmas Story.
-
Meeeerry Xmas bitches~
-
I won't know till the 27 when my family get tired of their other relatives and actually shows up here.
-
Got some Craftsman tools, a lap desk, and a box of Millionaires, so I'm a happy camper.
-
gloves, underwear, socks, a jacket, a South Park pj set and a blanket.
-
A necklace, some perfume, a body cream from Bath and Body Works. I had already bought myself the first three Looney Tunes DVD sets so I've been vegging out to those.
On the giving side, I baked a bunch of cookies and muffins for various relatives.

Awesome haul. Except for the Eragon thing. Hee hee.
-
Wow B! That's alot of stuff! What a haul! What a haul!
I miss those old days of getting lots of stuff.
I got:
Bejeweled owl pin.
Revlon lipstick in Slut red. <_<
B&BW Body Lotion
Promised trip to buy an outfit.
-
Well?...Put the lipstick on. <_<
-
No way. I put on the next day and it just too red. It overwhelems my face and I need to use baby oil to take it off. I look better in pink shades.
-
Like a baby oil talk in this thread. You guys have stock in it?
-
If they did, they'd be too busy playing with their money to post here.
Lotions, creams, and baby oil all make me itchy. I fear that I am doomed to dry skin and premature wrinklage.
-
I think I'm gonna start getting wrinkles prematurely too. I just loooove to tan without sunscreen.
-
Hello melonoma!
-
I have this theory that says that if you have been out in the sun since you were a baby, then your skin gets used to it and you won't get cancer. Look at the islanders. They don't use suntan and yet they don't get skin cancer.
-
Actually they do.
-
Well I haven't been to a lot of islands around latin america and I've never seen/heard about someone there who has any kind of skin cancer. So by direct research I can say no, they don't. Maybe sooomewhere else in the world but not where I've been. Now, I'm not saying they can't get it, but they are deeeeeefinitely less prone to get it than people who don't tan.
-
Well then, enjoy the lumps and dark patches.
-
And even if that doesn't happen you're skin will be more leathery then half off sale at Wilson's by 45. Either way you lose.
-
Please. My mom is the same way I am, and nowadays, at 46, her skin looks like a baby's skin.Perfect. Must be the genes.
-
We'll see.
-
It is! Perfection runs in the family B)
-
Then why aren't you in an Ivy League school?
-
That's a burn.
-
And even if that doesn't happen you're skin will be more leathery then half off sale at Wilson's by 45. Either way you lose.
Still pissed off Wilson's in the mall downtown closed. Fucks, I wants a Faye-skin bag!
-
And I ironicly we just got one a few years back. I have a nice coat from there ,but I had to go to Springfield to get it at the time.
-
Wilson's is overpriced and sucky. Yay thrift stores!
-
But I like the smell of walking into one! Now I have to go to the other mall. The only thing I've actually bought from Wilson's was a brown backpack.
-
They do smell nice. I guess that might be the latent S&M curiosity coming out in me though, as I also seem to have a affinity for things with lots of straps and buckles on them as well despite not actually owning anything of the sort.
-
Then why aren't you in an Ivy League school?
Funny that you mention that. The only reason I didn't go to one is that I thought the only ones that existed were Harvard and Yale! If I knew U Penn was an Ivy League school, I would have go to that one. It's, after all, only like 3 thousand bucks more expensive that what I paid for Drexel.
So there, HAH.
-
...You know what I'd do with three thousand dollars?
-
I don't know about you, but I'd get a car that's not a tank and has turn signals. Hell, it might even have a heater if I shop around. :D
-
So there, HAH.
I'm not certain that's something you want to necessarily "hah" about.
-
Yes it is. He questioned my perfection!
Of course, it's none of his business why I didn't get into one, but I just wanted to clarify that it wasn't because I wasn't "accepted"
-
I see what you mean but at the same time it was because of ignorance, which I'm certain he'd find worse and more joke-worthy than rejection.
-
Hm I don't know, its not like everybody in the world knows that UPenn is part of the Ivy league. So I wasn't ignorant, I was just misinformed
-
Misinformed as in someone told you UPenn wasn't Ivy or uninformed as in no one told you UPenn is Ivy? Because the second one is unawareness which is a defintion of ignorance. I know it's all words but just saying.
-
nope, didn't know. My own definition for ignorance is to not know about something that EVERYBODY knows and should know. Not about some university that is not even that famous.
-
My own definition for ignorance
If we're making stuff up, then I hereby change "prexy" to mean a "president who is sexy". Modern usage being as a noun, "Shit, there ain't done been a prexy in office for yars!" Or as a verb, "There totally isn't anything prexy about Ronald Reagan, especially since he died!"
-
And "positron" is now "a relative by association to Voltron".
-
This is kinda hot.
-
What is kinda hot? Semantics?
-
It could be Spermantics. Ha Ha Yeah.....Holla!
-
I don't consider not knowing about Upenn "status" ignorance". I think for someone to be considered ignorant you have to not know about bigger and broader stuff. Ah well maybe it depends ont he language, but that's what I think.
-
Third one:
Definitions of ignorant on the Web:
* uneducated in general; lacking knowledge or sophistication; "an ignorant man"; "nescient of contemporary literature"; "an unlearned group incapable of understanding complex issues"; "exhibiting contempt for his unlettered companions"
* uneducated in the fundamentals of a given art or branch of learning; lacking knowledge of a specific field; "she is ignorant of quantum mechanics"; "he is musically illiterate"
* unaware because of a lack of relevant information or knowledge; "he was completely ignorant of the circumstances"; "an unknowledgeable assistant"; "his rudeness was unwitting"

THERE!
and since the word comes from a latin word, and spanish is obviously closer to latin, I win.
-
Or, since this is America, learn to speak English or be prepared to be made of. They do it in other countries, so cry me a river, fool.

The Language Del Diablo?! on MY INTERNETz?!
I was thinking that after I've become rich and famous we should be right on the verge of war with China if not actively engaged already. I'm going to find a way to bribe a chinese military official to launch a nuclear strike on Miami thus wiping Northern Cuba off the fucking map. Sure I'll have to flee to prague and live out the rest of my life drinking absinth and having drunken orgies but it'll be worth it.
-

I pictured you being so drunk you forgot to leave before they did it.
-
I pictured him chasing one more loose girl and loosing track of time.
Still charred and irradiated IDE is the end result in either case, and that's all that matters.
-
.....That's just outright stupidity right there. Ironic in a topic changed to talking about ignorance.
Better than talking about your life. My POINT here is that, as i said before, in my book ignorance is a broader term than just calling ignorant to someone that doesn't know about a lame university. period and case closed.
And tom, just wait a couple of years. soon all this country will be full of illegals that'll control everything! it started with miami, then la, then ny, and soon dc! soon the us' national anthem will have a reaggeton rhytm(sp?) to it.
-
Still, it just distracted everyone from the fact that instead of proving your superiority through your intellect and aptitude, you instead counter my comment about your academic choices through saying you did not want to go to an Ivy League school, which is bullshit because if I could afford it, I would be in one. I am not too worried, though, since while it helps, it's not a pre-requisite and I plan to attend a high-end university for my phD work.
Now you know how to answer that chastisement. You just need to work harder. ;)
-
At this time I'm going to change the phrase "beck and call" to "beckon call" and you fucks will just have to live with it. period and case closed.

Remember, they said Immigrants would always over take America, though that isn't the case yet. The Indians and Chinese will be the next cultural wave, after Mexico and the rest of Central America stabilizes. There's a shitload more of them than there are of Hispanics.
-
BTW..."UPenn"? What, are you trying to sound like those fucknut retards from ESPN or something? It's historically been abbreviated "Penn", whatever you hear out of any braindead motormouth sportscaster.
I hate Ole Miss (Piss), but at least it saves them the indignity of being called "UMiss".
-
The Indians and Chinese will be the next cultural wave,
And when we have a Dragon Bugget and a 7-Eleven on every corner, then the true golden age of man can begin!

Look, I don't know how you're interpreting this, but I never called you ignorant. I said "because of ignorance". The two are different. If I had put "because you didn't know" or "because you were uninformed" or "because you were unaware" instead of "because of ignorance", would you still be lecturing me on meaning? It all means the same thing.
Maybe you could try considering that a native speaker of American English educated solely in American English might construct a sentence or use words differently than you and maybe you're taking something as an insult that wasn't even there. Have the last word on this subject however you like, but I wasn't even insulting you in that reply and anyone on this board can back me up on it.
BTW..."UPenn"?
Sorry, dude, just following her lead. I don't know how to abbreviate most schools worth a damn. You could say I'm ignorant of it.
At this time I'm going to change the phrase "beck and call" to "beckon call" and you fucks will just have to live with it. period and case closed.
Come on, you know nobody'll care. We'll just assume you're drunk.
Dragon Bugget
What the hell is that?

Fair enough, but drunk or not I want to go on record as saying that I find E's life just as entertaining as Faye making up the meanings of words. Neither topic trumps the other.

confuse me? eeverybody calls upenn UPENN. heelloooooo ive been living next to that university for the past 5 years! what aobut sport commentators?? do i look like someone that watches sports? nah uh
So -the fuck- what if i didn't want to go to upenn. my aunt(uncle's wife) and my own cousin went to upenn(wharton) and both of them said that they didn't like it that much cause of many factors i won't waste my time mentioning here (and don't give me the "oo so you can't provide facts, then that's bs- line). as i said i lived next to the university, my university is in the same block, for god's sake, PLUS half of my friends are upenn students. i KNOW more about upenn than any random person that has never set a foot in philly and yet talks about upenn like they wrote a book about it. please. im not saying mine is better cause its not, im just saying that at least in the case of upenn, its more about the name of the university itself rather than the level of teaching. i prefer to spend 3000 bucks per year travelling around, thankyouvery much.
And Nuri, i wasn't saying tht you insulted me. that's what i said before that in my book that word has a different meaning, and obviously is taken in a different way in my language.

You know who uses the word ignorant the way Faye uses it? Poor black people. Coincidence?
-
Dragon Bugget
What the hell is that?
It's like a Dragon Buffet, but one key to the left and without the aide of proof reading.
-
Ha, I should've known better. You know what they say about Ramanese: If you don't use it, you lose it.
-
You know who uses the word ignorant the way Faye uses it? Poor black people. Coincidence?
What's your point?
-
Ha, I should've known better. You know what they say about Ramanese: If you don't use it, you lose it.
You really should have. I mean come on...it's me we are talking about here.
-
Sorry, but since I'm back in school I need that space for knowledge.
-

What's your point?
That you're a poor black girl and your son is at home, he's crying all alone on the bedroom floor cause he's HUNGRY! And the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money.
-
What's wrong with it is that "UPenn" sounds fucking stupid, which doesn't say a lot about where you live.
-
ok so AALLL of the UPENN students i know are stupid just because you say so.
-
I shagged a chick from that school a few spring breaks ago. She had the dirtiest mouth on her. So dirty in fact that I actually had to tell her to be quiet for a second at the start because it almost killed the mood. An angel (in the form of a homeless guy) helped me score her so I knew it would all work out. And she had Shirley Temple curls which was really bizzare.
-
And she had Shirley Temple curls which was really bizzare.
Ew! She didn't have the voice, too, did she?
-
How can you hook up with a girl that a homeless guy helped you to get? are you nuts??
-
I'd be scared of... things myself. These are the homeless after all. Some of them will do anything for an old blanket or a can of yams.

Did you make her sing "Good ship lollipop"?
-
She didn't have the voice (which I am regretful for and thankful for at the same time) and it wasn't like the homeless guy was my wingman. He might have just been some scruffy keywest barback.
I had met her earlier in the night and we kissed. Then we met again later by chance and I asked her what she was doing later and she said she's tired and she's going back to her room so I gave her a kiss on the cheek and said bye.
Then I'm standing around with my friends and I notice that she's in argument with the group she's with. And she storms off angry. So I start to follow her to ask her if everything is ok. But then I start thinking "you don't even know her" she's gonna think you're a stalker. So for a few seconds I'm following a few paces behind herdrunkenly trying to puzzle out how this is going to come off, or whether I should just abort this mission all together.
When I here "Hey you gotta light?"
and I look at her and then I decide to let her go and turn to the scruffy sea swab.
"yeah"
*hand him the lighter*
"Is that your girl?"
*hands me back the lighter as we watch her get further away*
"Not anymore" I replied.
"That's your girl"
"Nah I don't even know her"
"What the fuck are you talking to me for go get her"
I said something like fuck it you're right and walked briskly after her.
I opened up with "Are you ok?"
She said yeah and I told her I saw her scrappin it with her friends back there and she said her roomates were being bitches I told her there was a jacuzzi back at my hotel and just asked her to come chill at my place. We got back there and smoked a little pot with my roomates and then retired to the master bedroom.
So you see that homeless looking guy whoever he was inspired me when I'd lost all confidence in my powet. When we turned around and headed back towards my hotel he had vanished. He probably extended his wings and flew back to the heavens or he found a comfortable dumpster to sleep in and bunked down for the night. Either way he had my gratitude for a couple years. Then I forgot all about him until this thread.

-
Oh Brother. You and your stories.
-
Holy SHIT.
-
You know, I tried to get my dad to start an autobiography before he died. He'd had a really fascinating life with tons of stories that I knew I'd forget if they weren't put on paper. Sadly, he proved me correct.
IDE, don't make that mistake. Chronicle your life's story for the greater glory of the Golden God of the INTERNET. Your upcoming movie is just the start....
-
This reminds me of Least I Could Do, for some reason...
-
Maybe because I actually made a post here once that reads almost exactly the same as this strip:
Least I could do (http://www.licd.com/index2.php?date=20030501)
*goes back to reading LICD*
-
I think I'll go back to not reading it.
-
I've read over a year of it now and I can see some similarities between that character and me but that guy is way too much of a tool. The character is probably the amped up persona of a real person... a real person very much like me but not as good looking and not as muscular.
-
We need to get someone to just draw whatever you post.
-
Yeah...anyone want to invest in a giant waste of time? Anyone?
-
a highly successful webcomic wouldn't be a waste of time, geeks everywhere would hold your work in high este...
what!? why are you looking at me like that?
-
I'll write it...but I doubt you'll be shown in a light you'd like to be.
-
That's ok I've already been immortalized in a couple of webcomics. My favorite being "Bad Online Comic" by Papa Prime.
-
Well I figure you are more of a Sidekick role...or like Villian Henchman or a Act 2 foil or something along those lines. So I'll have to create someone as the main focus of comic for you to play off of.
-
Really? I can see him as the lead, easy. And he'd have some goofy Novechrombot/Dougesque sidekick that he tries to get laid all the time; the gay, fashionable male friend who sports an ascot and is always getting him into zany problems; the cool, goggle-wearing computer dork and his zaftig girlfriend who live in the apartment next door; Principal Belding; and an untouchable Faye-type romantic interest.
-
The only way I could ever be a side kick is if it was in some sort of spectacular Kramer-esque fashion. The main character would have to be sort of the straight man with a plethora of supporting characters that carry the comic.
I could be a henchman...or rather a champion of evil. The main evil character wouldn't have any true deadly powet (other than his evil genius) but instead would say "Release the IDE" and I would go forth and wreak havoc, but ultimately fall for the heroine and then realizing I could never have a life with her I would save the hero from certain doom at the expense of my own life, causing everyone to shed a tear.
But Nuri's idea is the most plausible and oddly enough is nearly identical to the the premise of that Least I Could Do comic tom mentioned (minus the gay character and adding a rarely seen pussy whipped/in a relationship male character)
-
Nuri don't say the D word! Do not call it!
Don't forget that you would need someone evil too..hmm let's see who's evil here....i don't think there's someone evil-evil here. of course there are a couple of bitchy people, but not evil. Except maybe Lenin??
-
The gay character is what makes it. You'd be wearing a different outfit each week, like the Card Captor Sakura of the sex community.
Because of the sheer amount of college-setting webcomics and the fact that reading them is about as exciting as going there, the comic will be based in chic flat surrounded by a bevy of businesses that serve as backdrops for your various shenanigans.
Still a bouncer and the world's second-oldest 23-year-old college student (the oldest being a Bea Arthurish horndog-lady named "Gertle"), you and your Doug sometimes fight crime as the masked-duo Tank Crotch and Twitchy. In between macking chicks and putting the occassional crook or pedo behind bars, most of your adventures will be the doing of your gay friend, most of the time using you to his own gain when he's not trying to get you in the sack. Also, you have a sugarmama patron, a rich older Veronica-ish cougar who pays your rent and has a slightly younger jealous, stupid, posturing Tatewaki Kuno of a husband who has no idea what sort of relationship you actually have with her. She goes from calling you her cousin to her nephew to her former foreign exchange student boarder, and it changes every time you see the man.
-
you're hired! <3_<3
-
Great. Now to discuss my insurance plan...
-
Wait a minute....you're not cutting me out of this.
-
I'd have to see a sample of your work before I'd cut you in, sir. You did want to make my client a sidekick or a henchman, so I don't know.
-
I still stand by that. Jack Sparrow or Han Solo might be kick ass guys...but they can't carry the story. Anti-Heros are so cliche now. Underdogs...that's what people want.
But if I was to let someone here read my stuff, it would be you.
We shouldn't be underminding each other, however. We should be figuring out a way to cut IDE out of the money in the long run. After all...he wouldn't really be doing any of the work, and paraody is protected by law. We could keep it all for ourselves.
-
excuse ME?? Jack Sparrow was/is the man of the movie! Han Solo was just a side kick, you cannot compare them!
-
No...Will Turner was the hero of POTC, and POTC2. Sparrow is the sidekick. Doesn't matter if he was "The Man" Or "Awesome" or if "He made the movie for me." he wasn't the hero of the movies. He was the typical Hero foil/ally archtype. The guy that tries to corrupt the hero, but ends up becoming a better person because of the Hero. Jack Sparrow is just Han Solo in different cloths.
-
Underdogs are getting a little cliche, too. I think what's in now is an underdog that people enjoy seeing fail.
-
You maybe right, but I hate writing things with sad endings. It's just such a downer.
-
Not for frowns, for laughs. Or for the satisfaction of seeing someone else fail. I don't like downer crap anymore than you do. I want to be entertained.
-
Yeah...but I want to see arrogant, self involved, vain, and rich people fail. Not the underdog. Seeing the underdog fail is like a downer, even if it is funny. Still makes you go "ahhhhhhhh....well that sucks." not "Yeah...you deserve that bitch!"
-
Can you parody something that doesn't have an original creative presence?
Say if I was to create a comic about Rama. There is no other Rama property out there (is there? Let's assume there isn't). He is still a real person though. Would I have to pay him for using his likeness?
-
I don't know. Hmmmmm...I know if you like had an SNL like show and decided to do a skit about how bad I spell, then I couldn't sue. But I don't know about an actual person's life.
-
I don't think you can do things about actual people without their permission even if you compensate him. A straight-up parody would be protected I'd think. And if not, it would be okay as long as it became it's own creative property. If you were to actually use the name "Rama", it might open the doors to problems even though I don't think there's any legal protection for an online moniker. But it would lay the groundwork for him to say you're defaming him or some shit like that.
In your story for example, I might call you ITP instead. Since I know little about you outside of here, it would end up so radically different it would be it's own creative property. But hey, I'm no lawyer either.

I had a perfect comic strip evening tonight at work. This chick comes up to me and tells me she has the hiccups and asks if I know how to get rid of them. So I tell her yes I do but she has to kiss me. Then she asks if it's ok for me to kiss her while I'm working. I tell her it's ok as long as I'm only kissing her to get rid of hiccups.
So we start making out...
for like over a minute.
Now this wasn't supposed to cure her hiccups...but it did.
I'm like the make-out jesus.

I'd call him Darryl "Manhard" Johnson.

Guests are reading this! They're gonna steal my idea! My millions! My Cafepress merch millions! And by "millions" I mean "of pennies". But still!
-
Don't you mean "Our" money. I'm totally gonna Thunderball your ass on this one.
-
If by "Thunderball your ass" you mean "sit in a corner and weep", go right ahead.
-
That's not what I meant.
-
God damn it! I was more awesome 4 years ago!
Fuck! Someone do something!
-
There's nothing for it. You just need to accept the fact that you'll be resembling Abe Vigoda sooner than later.

-
And Abe Vigoda is resembling a chimpanzee.
-
And the chimpanzee is resembling IDE.
-
And the chimpanzee is resembling IDE.
The circle is complete. Now we can begin the ritual.
-
Satanic?
-
The Devil himself will come to earth and put his finger right in IDE's butt.
-
My butt hole can never be entered. This is the Mandate of Heaven. If anything passes up into it all of creation will be undone.
-
Why do you think we want o cast the damn ritual.
-
I'm just picturing IDE's butthole like a black hole or a scifi wormhole. Like, if you try to finger it, your whole body gets sucked on in. And maybe reappears at the other end of the universe.
-
Miroku's hand maybe?

Yeah, you stay outta there.

So the Federation is gonna post a space station near it?
-
Come on, bud. You haven't jizzed until you've jizzed with a girl's fingers all the way up your plop-plop. You of all people should know that.
-
Maybe when I'm 172 and on my death bed I'll have one 18 yr old ride me while another jams her finger up my ass. Then as all of creation falls to shambles I will realize you were right and a single tear will roll down my cheek like an Indian picking up litter before everything fades to white.
-

First ones in are Ferengi.
-
Plenty of latinum to be made there.
-
Miroku's hand maybe?
As long as the theme music comes with it.

That guy was actually Sicilian and not Indian-anything at all. Good thing I was able to address this five years later. I mean, what a relief!
-
Finding out Iron Eyes Cody was a Sicilian schmuck nearly destroyed my childhood. Then I remembered that I never saw him in anything until I was well into double digits.
-
When I found out, I questioned every tear I had ever seen in my life. If you can't trust a crying Indian to be real, what can you trust? Also among fakey ethnics, Jenette "Private Vasquez" Goldstein aka the fake Latina from Aliens.
“The makeup took an hour,” Goldstein told Starlog Magazine back in 1987, reflecting on the film. “The makeup woman said I had the most ornery freckles she had ever seen. It was freezing cold on the set, and we were oiled up all the time. The fake sweat and water made the makeup run a lot, so it was a toss-up between looking sweatier and having my white skin show through.”
They took an hour, wasted make-up and make-up personnel on making a fake brown Latina when they could've just hired Rachel Ticotin or someone like that. (http://www.rabbitinasuit.com/emoticons/R-T/shrug2.gif)
-
This guy wasn't a real Indian either...
-
Holy fuck beans, maybe it's just because it's been decades since I've seen that movie but I never realized the fake Indian from Short Circuit was the bad guy from Hackers.
-
Hackers? You mean that movie starring future mega Hollywood super star......Matthew Lillard?
-
Yep. I remember really liking that movie a lot when it first came out. That and The Net. Aha. Ahahahaha. HAHAHA.
-
The Net...wasn't that Sandra Bullocks Speed follow up?
-
Her follow-up was actually some movie called "Me & The Mob" that ended up getting retitled to "Who Do I Gotta Kill?" "Me & the Mob" sounds like a more apt name but whatever. And I cheated and googled that. Upon doing so, I found out "Ocean's Eight" starring eight chicks is going to be an actual thing. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean%27s_Eight) So much EW. I guess the ocean's made of dairy seeing how much they're milking it.
-
Did you know Matthew Lillard is WB's goto guy for Shaggy voicework anytime they do a new Scooby thing now? I'll bet everyone else involved with those live action movies regrets them, but not him. That shit became his lifetime meal ticket. I'll bet Freddie Prinze wishes Frank Welker would hurry up and die already.
I remember The Net. That was from when Dennis Miller's agent was trying really, really hard to make old Dennis a movie star. Holy shit, that guy's "acting" is a trash fire.
-

:lol: I legit lol'ed at that.

Yeah, like, for a three or four year period in the mid-nineties he has all of these parts in thrillers. Was he really a trash actor? I never found him memorable enough to take note.
-
Well, that was the problem, he wasn't acting. He was just delivering his Dennis Miller lines as Dennis Miller. His crowning achievement was Bordello of Blood. I challenge anyone to watch that movie and not lose their mind. Its existence defies the laws of reality.
-
I don't recall how he was in that movie. I only remember that I watched it in the theater and was so disappointed it didn't meet the standards set by "Demon Knight." Yeah, you can marinate on the inanity of that sentence.
