Neo and Hera, you both missed the irony there. Of course some yapping tween pales in comparison to the Goddess of War!

Yeah. Employing the non sequitur is one of the fundamentalist's favorite rhetoric fallacies. Of course, if you're willing to endorse this crap, and sincerely, you have to be a religious nutjob and oblivious to rational thought and logic anyway.

Amazing job, urtext. Incredible!!

Bonus Points!!
For the allusion of Athena's birth from Zeus' forehead. Any classical mythology buffs with me on that one, right?

And looking at your first response, Enkidum, I wouldn't agree with "wantonly" splitting infitives. If one splits them to achieve some desired effect, then go for it. God, I love language!!

Agreed, Manwich. I almost lost my shit at a college professor when she went on and on about that. Ever hear of litotes, dumb bitch?

No worries, Roy. I know your response, and everyone else's, was all in good fun. This is The Hater column after all; hate, genuine or not, is to be anticipated.

Yes, I agree that language is a living entity rather than some frozen demigod. I'm definitely more from the descriptive camp of grammar than the prescriptive. I just thought it was a humorous observation to make.

Amelieā€¦
I have a geeky crush on you and desperately want to have your love/hate-child, but splitting an infinitive in the title? Good grammar is a major turn-on. There's still hope insofar as you didn't end any clauses with a preposition.

*cough* Photoshop! *cough*

No doubt perpetrated by the Pastafarians, Kid Dada.

The only thing I hate more than my life is Julia Roberts.

Why not call them as they are?

For years now I've been wanting someone to make a rabbit RTS/city-building game. Borrow quite a bit from Richard Adams' "Watership Down."

At least no one's mentioned staycation yet. Fuck you, portmanteau! You can be so good, but oh so soul-grating.

If you please,
I know she wasn't on quite the same level as the aforementioned, and it's not my aim to garner cheap sympathy, but if you would all humor me:

Just jk-ing.

Nice job, Rev.! My ex girlfriend loved Edith as much I did. Thanks for ripping those scabs open again, pal!

I'm all about cycles, man!

I'm glad Dunk picked up the Seinfeld allusion here.
