Members myshkin Posted April 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 I think Myshkin thought he was trying to make some sort of putatively clever analogy.Unfortunately, he appears to be substantially incapable of such -- based on observed performance, at any rate. "Putatively clever.......substantially incapable.....observed performance". That's some wonderful stuff you've got going there, blue. Beautiful measured and elegant prose; that is if you're an academically trained robot. I feel chastened, humbled, intimidated, and awed all at the same time. How about this joke my putatively clever mind has just come up with..."Did you hear the one about the computer programmer who attended creative literary classes?"I may need help with the punch line. As long as it doesn't involve midgets, the field is wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted April 17, 2007 Members Share Posted April 17, 2007 Myshkin, I welcome that endeavor. I'll join you in laughing at me, for sure, and invite everyone else to, as well. In fact, I think we'd ALL be a lot happier if you'd focus your sense of humor (alleged or otherwise ) on me. I think we've done the above stuff to death, anyhow... "A self-involved, self-righteous old crank walks into a bar... but he doesn't drink anymore so... " Hmm... I sound boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
