I know, I know. I'll get around to it eventually.

Um…yes. What would suggest otherwise?

Well, now that you've discovered the edit button you might be able police your own idiocy.

And he posed as a Vietnam vet on one memorable occasion!

I've never seen a Miyazaki movie in my life and I know how idiotic this sentiment is.
