QuoteBut one can often be in doubt about the effect of a word or a phrase, and one needs rules that one can rely on when instinct fails. I think the following rules will cover most cases:

(i) Never gild the lily by using a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Think outside the box, lest you beat a proverbial dead horse.

(ii) Never utilize sesquipedalian verbiage where compendious phraseology will suffice.

(iii) If it is possible to cut an unnecessary, superfluous word out, always cut that extraneous word out.

(iv) The passive should not be used where the active could be.

(v) Never use un mot étrangère, technical lexis, or 733t5p34k if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than sound like Bocaj.

Dude, you need to embolden your changes. Embolden? Embiggen? Either way, that post was most cromulent.

Upon further perusal, I have cogitated that the rubric "Genius," while oft applied in a manner both jejune and impetuous to such ephmera as the daily cogitations of an internet journal is not disingenously apllied to this missive.
Take that, Adolf Eyechart.

Do you have some sort of fetish for Eastern religion? 'Cause you seem quite articulate on the subject--along with just all other mysticistic jibber-jabber in general. Your mannerisms seem a little more highbrow then what would be expected on such a site: is this just your way of flexing your secondary learnedness in front of those less as such? Seems your just taking the easy way out, actually; but, you shouldn't, you give yourself too little credit. Just stick with it, you're still a young kid. Actually, I take it back, these other guys are bright, as well. So, nothing ventured nothing gained, though, right. As the old man in the coat furred with oak lucidly said thrice to the setting sun.

Aw, crap, I'm afraid I've missed all of this as a result of recovering from an amateur Beckerovka treatment for gout some three days ago.  Did I actually post the koan regarding shaving the dog versus writing "insert here" on your toddler brother's rear end and setting him loose in the neighborhood?  It's the last thing I recall.

I am a big fan of Theatre mode.  Gets rid of all the extra shit and just gives you the video, nice and big.
