- Oooh. An evolution flame. My favorite.
-
- Mr. Chaney, you are too simple. You could have crafted a flame that
- would have been worth the bandwidth, but you jelled. Why did you
- waste your opportunity?
-
- For example you might have written thusly --
-
- AGGRESSIVE: Sir, if I had to live in a mind as small as yours, I
- would lobotomize myself -- on the spot!
-
- FRIENDLY: That brain disability must make it tough to get a job.
- Maybe you can qualify for some kind of affirmative action program.
-
- DESCRIPTIVE: A dunce -- an idiot -- a nincompoop. A nincompoop?
- Nay, say rather, a chickenhead!
-
- INQUISITIVE: What happened? Too much strychnine in the postage
- stamps, or are you having another bout of aphasia?
-
- KINDLY: It's awfully nice of you to provide your opinions in this
- forum -- it must be a welcome balance for the developmentally disabled
- individuals here on the net who can sometimes feel intellectual
- intimidated by the regular posters.
-
- INSOLENT: Mr. Woodyatt, don't try to think. It only burns calories
- better expended on more productive applications of your brain -- like
- fattening it up for market.
-
- CAUTIOUS: Be careful -- your primitive nerve ganglia might overheat
- at that rate. You're running a risk of stroke and/or epilepsy.
-
- THOUGHTFUL: Hmmm. If you could only rant like that for a few more
- pages, I might be able to write a decent simulation algorithm for the
- amusement of the net.
-
- PEDANTIC: Didn't Kafka write about your condition in _Metamorphosis_?
- Amazing -- and I thought it was just speculative fiction.
-
- FAMILIAR: Ah, Mr. Woodskull, come to amuse us with the jerks and
- twitches of your involuntary nervous system again? Pull up a chair
- and show the newbies your electroshock scars.
-
- ELOQUENT: When you write, the world shudders in disgust and the
- people howl for your death with a din that can be heard literally
- around the world.
-
- DRAMATIC: What prose! What character! Why -- you could write speeches
- for Dan Quayle! You're a SUPER GENIUS.
-
- ENTERPRISING: You could get work hawking for a topless club in
- Tijuana with a wit like that. Hope this helps :-)
-
- LYRIC: And he still hasn't found what he's looking for...
-
- SIMPLE: So how long has it been since you checked the fluid level in
- your braincase?
-
- RESPECTFUL: Sir, I recognize in you, a man of simple mind and noble
- ends...
-
- RUSTIC: You yabo! Call that a flame? Heh. I got yer flame right
- here, mate.
-
- MILITARY: Fire in the hole!
-
- PRACTICAL: Jam a popsicle stick into your chin, fill your mouth with
- seed, and at least the birds will find some use for you...
-
- Or if all else failed, you could have shamelessly borrowed from
- classic literature...
-
- These, Mr. Chaney, are all things you might have written had you the
- invention, but you're a chump, a geek, a compleat toad, and you
- deserve every bit of ridicule that comes your way. Bite me, you hunka
- hunka burnin' pseudo-intellectual illiterate cheezeweasel -- I ache
- for every tender morsel of wit you throw my way. I love you and want
- to fertilize your egg sac.

- ...with sincere and humble apologies for the savagery I've committed
- upon the memory of Edmond Rostand, but hey, at least I'm giving
- credit.
