“Bet’chu $50 that my bro can answer anything about birds” I bequeath drunkenly to a group of strangers at the bar. The cheering was security escorting me out.
I'm lurking through posts trying to distract myself because I'm in an overwhelming amount of pain, and this comment of yours just made me actually laugh out loud a bit. Thank you for that! Especially the 'putting on Groucho Marx glasses to defend your own point pretending to be someone else' part. That whole situation, and the way you just described it as if it were happening in a bar instead of on a forum, just amuses me way too much. Also, I just accidentally typed "anuses" instead of "amuses," which also amused me way too much...
Anyway the point of my rambling is you're fucking funny and I appreciate you, dammit.
