Hey ogged, it's not immediately obvious but the first comment here is spam.

It just goes to show, only a robot would use the phrase "good and articulate points."

I say that it's noble that I pointed out the spam, knowing that it would lead to my being falsely accused--by myself!--of spamming.

Or the members of a frathaus:

"Dude, check out the good and articulate points on her!"

I wasn't thinking about this when I typed it out above, but I think the term "frathaus" might be a good way to describe the eruditely puerile humor that is our stock and trade here. It makes it sound more like an artistic movement than the mundane "frathouse". As in, "sure we tell a lot of cock jokes, but we're not like them. My inner Beavis is ironic."
