Your mind is literally blown

[Quality Start Machine]

To judge from the number of letters and emails that I receive as chair of the American Heritage Dictionary's usage panel, no profession takes such a proprietary interest in English usage as lawyers do

That's a pretty odd assertion.  I had always assumed that a standard part of the legal curriculum was some sort of practicum dedicated to faulty parallelism, thorougoing misuse of relative pronouns, and whimsical punctuation, based on seven years' proofreading at SASM et Flom.

As usual, I have no idea what your post says.
However, I'm pretty sure you said you spent 7 years proofreading and then used the word "thorougoing"

But I'm not sure, your post could be about Mexican food for all I know.

He spent 7 years proofreading. As in, those days are gone. Besides he makes up half the words in his posts so how would anyone know? Thorouging might be a word on Planet Wheezer.

I wouldn't mind visiting that planet.  Is there atmosphere?  Plant-life?

Probably not the plant-life you're looking for.

Fungi, mostly.

Jesus, why don't you just buy him a plane ticket?

Did you just ask Jesus to buy me a plane ticket?  Cause if he does, THAT would LITERALLY blow my mind.

You're a good man, Wheezer. And thorouging.

I do recommend Alan Dienstag's "The Money Tree."  It's like "My Beautiful Laundrette," but with grass.

I could have sworn that there was more toenail clipping than gay sex in the latter.

I think we can get the religious right onboard if you photoshop a sideways virgin Mary statue in the middle of those two lines.

No, but it's funny that you should mention that.  I once wound up sharing lab space with a Hungarian fellow who introduced himself with a joke from the homeland that had precisely that theme.  I wish I could remember the buildup, because the punchline was only the making of an odd, loud noise.

I think flom is literally Cuban.  Made with eggs, milk, sugar, etc.
