I realize that this is exactly what Albert said, but I maintain that he stole my thunder by being online way too much.

For as long as I have known Fabrice, he has been polite. So much, in fact, that it makes him appear vaguely alien at times. Maybe this is just because of the setting I grew up in (largely my brother's fault), and in any case, being polite is in no way a bad thing.

So yeah, polite (almost overly so) has been a very good description of Fabrice. Of course, it doesn't encompass his sometimes bizarre sense of humor, his spontaneous bouts bardic knowledge (that's a D&D reference, folks), or his tendency to make me want to say "That there's a decent feller. He's strange, but he ain't half bad".

Okay, so I've never really been overcome with the urge to say that. I can just picture someone else (a southern hick someone else) saying that, though.

"That there's a decent feller. He's strange, but he ain't half bad."
Likewise, Mike, He of the Musical Maestro-Punk and Archmagic-Funk, likewise. Maryna and Albert, your forum format plans sound sound. Glad to open a friendly line of communication with a quasi-friend of a quasi-friend of Ben's...Talk about a friendly neighborhood forum. Y'all are real cordial folks when it comes down to it, I believe. Keep it real, yon fellow Factitious Forum-goers. Perhaps I just misused "yon," but hey, I couldn't resist the transitional property of it. Now, that was impolite to the English language.

If it makes you feel any better, try to think of it as you doing your part to keep the English language evolving, and therefore alive. You're doing it for its own good.

No! This politeness has got to stop! Yet... I can't bring myself to insult the polite one... so I think I'll just take it out on Albert and Mike. Yeah, those guys sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen people suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

eh, fuck you too, Maryna. And I mean that in the friendliest possible way. Well, the friendliest non-suggestive one. ;-)

Nice use of the Simpsons. And, actually, one of my bigger problems revolve around that fact that I am NOT sucking.

Eh, yeah. Er. I'm gonna go something constructive now.

Tsk tsk. Horniness is deadly to grammar, my dear. Plus, it makes baby jesus cry! Don't come back until you've calmed yourself down... solely for the integrity of the forum, of course.

And you, my dear, don't even need horniness to have bad grammar.

I've calmed down. It makes baby Jesus cry? Good to know, good to know...
