The type that's fully aware of their formidable intellect, but lacking the restraint and self-esteem to corral it. So they end up proofreading your emails and gracelessly correcting any grammatic failing.
Michael, in the immortal words of google: did you mean: 'lately'?
Also I noticed for the first time that Mr Mazo held (what I assume is) a masters in econ from Harvard, and one in poli sci from Oxford before he went on to get his law degree. At my MA program, there were a some MA-MBA or MA-JD joint degree students, and they -most of them- were good guys, but I think there's an inverse relation between the number of advanced degrees you have, in different fields, and your toolishness

Case in point: I remember TA'ing a math bootcamp for entering professional students during my PhD. The first morning at like 7am while I'm madly prepping some MBA-JD followed me into my office propounding on his rationale for the dual degree, which was capped by his pronouncement "I'm all about customer service". Which I just had to laugh at.

Recognize anybody here?

I have to say, I thought the same thing, but in re: Mazo? "too-too-toolio".

I also loved the homage to Fontana & Saheli with the title Tool Time.

He was born to philander.
Maybe he should drop by the Mineshaft.

mike, in that instance, deliberate mispelling for effect.

...once again, I miss the joke completely. I swear I have a sense of humor IRL.

my humorous self-deprecation is subtle like a ninja.
