Just wait until you see the followup. The cut was ragged and it's still oozing, and if I'm really lucky it'll get all infected and I'll be able to wax rhapsodically about pus!
adb, that's exactly why I have to chortle at all the wankery about bloggers being an intrepid army of citizen journalists. Having spent my adult life working with trained journalists, I've learned one thing above all: Everybody needs an editor.
Lone wacko, on the other hand, needs at least two.
It really is very well written, but I spent a good part of the post feeling thankful that I hadn't eaten yet today. And did you have to juxtapose wax and pus in 3?
Wasn't that a beautiful piece? I mean...shit. See? It was so eloquent it sucked up all my eloquence.
Damn you Myers!
