Confederacy of Dunces in the funniest book in the English language*. That is all.

I just ate an exceptionally spicy bowl of soup, so maybe my brain is shorted out, but I've read this, like, three times and I'm still not sure I understand the thrust of the article.

@DancingMan: Hahahaha! Your comment is far enough down that I forgot the initial post and wondered where the sudden bile came from.

It's taking every fiber of my being not to make a "you're using it wrong" joke right now.

@J2M3: Awww. Got starred and unstarred in one fell swoop on that comment. It's like he read the first sentence, starred me, then read the second...
