Exactly Zo, satire makes the medicine go down, if you've got the stomach for it.
I'm not defending satire b/c I'm looking for something to talk about, I'm just responding to a challenge. Sure, I'm a pedant, in that self-taught beat poet elitist fashion that can clear a room in 30 seconds flat but dumbing myself down for fear of offending others is not an option. Displaying one's intellect may be a vulgar attempt to call attention to oneself but it's no worse than threatening suicide and puking in the parking lot which used to be what I was here for. Until I learned there's more than one way to irritate.
love, trouble
