i thought you were pretty generic

Eh, you're OK.

I have to roll up my penis so it will fit in my briefs.

No, dodgy - he meant pretty_generic. Oh, so pretty_generic.

posted by taz 17 October | 13:12

What's that word? Eponisterical? No, that's not it...Well you all know what I mean.

/shudders at the thought of rolling up my penis

Big deal. I retain a gaggle of dwarves to carry it as it trails behind me like the train of a wedding dress.

Eponyncongruous.

They see me rollin'. They hatin'.

you be rollin'? I thought you was pushed.

I don't believe anyone's great until they've drawn a web comic. Have you drawn a web comic?

posted by agropyron 17 October | 13:28

really long time ago. It doesn't count. But I have had some animation shown at a Canadian film festival!

Hve you ever been on bubble gum cards? How can you say you're great if you've never been on bubble gum cards?? huh??!!

posted by jonmc 17 October | 13:34

I have never been on bubble gum cards. I withdraw my claim.

posted by Pretty_Generic 17 October | 13:36

NO

UR GREAT NO MATTER WHAT

No, no, put it back! I'm reading the comics, and I think you're right.

posted by taz 17 October | 13:40

I think you're not as great as you claim to be.

posted by Daniel Charms 17 October | 13:42

I used to claim I was so great. Now I tend to side with the Daniel Charms of this world. Can we really be sure that I'm so great? I'm skeptical.

posted by Pretty_Generic 17 October | 13:44

Honestly, though, you're really great. I'm not kidding. Seriously. You're spectacular.

posted by thirteenkiller 17 October | 13:47

Inventor of the "bodice-nachos"? Are you kidding me? Not only are you great, you are sure to soon make a fortune off those things.

posted by taz 17 October | 13:48

Actually, I'd say that you're pretty great. You're just not as great as you think (you might not even be aware of just how great you are).

posted by Daniel Charms 17 October | 13:51

In other words, you're a decent enough fellow.

posted by Daniel Charms 17 October | 13:52

Ah yes, the bodice-nachos. I suppose that is something to be proud of. It revolutionised the cinema food experience.

posted by Pretty_Generic 17 October | 13:52

thirteenkiller is so great. She does.... things.

posted by Pretty_Generic 17 October | 13:54

Get a room.

Where can I get some of this cinammon food?

posted by taz 17 October | 13:59

I'm so great that I ate a boiled potato sandwich for lunch and had lemonade and cigarettes for breakfast.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 October | 14:16

So_Great, having seen the web comic evidence, I'm convinced.

posted by agropyron 17 October | 14:17

Divine_Wino, that sounds so great.

If you chased it with a Guiness and a shot of Jameson's you win Irishman Of The Year.

Greatness has always eluded me. I envy those of you whom it has not.

posted by dersins 17 October | 14:23

I'm not great, but soon to be.
Things that were down are now up for me.
I can drive a car over an old wooden bridge,
and have the same opinions as the local kids.

I may be from another coast and Away,
but I got books from our library today.

I'm not great, but soon that'll change,
when I get a job and the houses ain't as strange.

/me thrusts greatness upon dersins

posted by Pretty_Generic 17 October | 14:26

I chased it by blowing up Harrods and walking upright for the first time with the aid of a wheelbarrow.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 October | 14:26

Aw, thanks P_G. Now what do I do with it?

posted by dersins 17 October | 14:31

*doffs hat to the Wino, then slugs him with shillelagh, takes his wallet, and blows contents at OTB*

Greatness has always eluded me.

Consider yourself lucky. Greatness is always hanging around me, bumming money, sneaking beers out of the fridge, peeing on the toilet seat. Greatness isn't just a burden, but a pest.

With great power comes great responsibility. I suggest you go to Malawi and adopt.

Lipstick Thespian, your rhyme is so great.

We are all great. We are all unique little snowflakes. fragile in our distinctiveness, magnificent in our expression of the multitudinous blizzard. And we all shout out against the wind, and our combined song is beautiful and it is lost in the infinite horror of the vortex.

Or so the BT repairman told me. But repairmen lie sometimes in order to make you upgrade your service.

I'm sorry cortex, the correct answer is "What was the parmigiano reggiano's epitaph?"

Here's a copy of our home game.

I just got it. Ha ha.

"What is the collective name accorded to Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States."

posted by seanyboy 17 October | 14:50

Damn. I mistyped that. There should have been an R in there.

posted by seanyboy 17 October | 14:50

In where?

posted by Specklet 17 October | 14:54

Wait, there IS an "r" in both "there" and "where."

I'm so confused.

posted by dersins 17 October | 14:57

Mozzarella's, dead, baby. Mozzarella's dead.

WELL I HOPE YOU LEFT ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY FIST BECAUSE IF YOU HAD A POT BELLY I WOULD RAM IT INTO THAT

Now I'm gonna untie you, and then you're gonna get dressed, and then you're gonna open the pod bay doors, HAL.
