Post of the Year

Edit: Oh and are your brackets going to close any day soon?  They've been left in the wind and rain and they want to come in, relax in front of the fire and shut the door behind them, like all good brackets like to do.  They obviously seek parentheses guidance!

I have pulled you up on your spelling before, young man, so don't try to take the intelektuooal high ground with our poor aging professor; just because he lives in the frozen wastes of some God forsaken country with only a moose named Gerald for company, 'tis no reason to take him to task - you may need to take him to the lavatory occasionally, but not to task.

And whilst I am here...

I cannot help but notice that many forum members are making reference to what I can only describe as my very occasional accidental gaseous releases... we all do it... it's unfair, nay intolerable to single me out for ridicule in this respect... in case you have forgotten, my arsenal holds the trump card, the weapon of mass destruction to end all weapons of mass destruction...

I give you...

The Garten Patented Methane Accelerator Mk XIV...

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

So that's just one mistake then, Jim?

That's fine, we all make mistakes and that wasn't a spelling mistake, per se, but rather a typographical error.

Besides, I still caught that whippersnapper out with his lack of a closed bracket!

Indeed Bob, I have more than one post featured in this thread, but Peter Garten... oops - I mean Peter Rid-icule-out - and Jim Rideout... oops again - of course I mean Jim "gaseous" Garten - will always feature in such threads, as they have a tendency to flap in the wind and not get very far, falling very Icarus-like, into the conflagration of someone's ego-trip!

Don't stop your posts, they're very funny. I just wanted to say it's a pleasure reading your English (at last real English and not a b*****dized version of it, from a former colony).

I was kidding, Peter, sorry for not being clear.

I never meant the sun at all, Peter!  Icarus flew towards the sun, yes, but he didn't fall into it.  I was just saying that Jim and yourself - were falling Icarus-like - because neither of you can flap your wings fast enough to maintain momentum.

So you've misunderstood my pseudo-intellectual metaphor!

Also, I believe you are misusing your post scriptums!  They are never "PS:," but always "P.S.," unless you Canadians use some alternative "Manual of Style," I would have thought that "PS" was also sufficient, but never "PS:."

Sort it out, Peter!

(see previous) Sort it out Peter! (missing comma)

Of course, I am very much aware that the wax melted Icarus' feathers; but, as you quite correctly said: such a design could ever work! What's a "quotaion," anyhow? Is that better, oh diligent one?

Ha -- enough!

Winner of the "Most Pretentious Post" award

Aspiring hope wrote: To consider your value for entertainment, in remonstrance for quality, within progressive bands' appreciation, I think the so-called "poseur" - whose identidy, uniquely imbedded with the group's coexistence, probably gets you off since he fails to appeal to what casts appreciation in his divergence from the average spectacle (rumours tend to imply his name is Maynard James Keenan), - wouldn't be the only one to reciprocate your thought, as even DT or any other valuable musician would come to advert/punchback about how he/she's quality isn't measured through the category of "circus artistry", hyperbolicly speaking. Perhaps I'm cathing an erroneous conception of your phrases' intention and I apologize if so, but that exuded barren views of musical importance, since, beyond your egregious subjectivity to define Tool, their originally crafted countenance, of consistently unwavering "artistic" integrity, defies premature auditions for the precociously critic ear, as to see what lies beneath more than meets the eye takes auditive sensibility and patiently placid sagacity, not just an overwhelmed feel contracted upon hearing instruments reach their highest grounds of impressive skill, which, although might prove useful in a guitar-virtuoso band, isn't sufficient towards prog or any less conspicuous flairs, in rock itself.
