The rest of the world didn't understand. But me and Archaea understand.

Love the analogy. The implied comparison to MJ is hysterical, but the analogy was beautiful.

Have you met the person for whom everything is personal? The person for whom any correction is an affront?

I tend to piss these people off. Since the day I was born.

Forget Michael Jordon, let's go straight to Jesus Christ. He came with a sword. Maybe I didn't come with a sword, but I came with a pocketknife at the very least.

You came with a kitty litter scoop and a plastic bag.

I wish you had something that would allow me to wittily and cuttingly respond. But this one is like when the drunk staggers from the stool and says "put up your dukes." You don't know whether to laugh or knock him on his butt.

See Indy knows exactly how this all works. Witty, cutting and insulting rejoinder that makes me chuckle.

CJ, sorry I said you should spoon Bronco's prevent D, and suck in your gut. I guess you weren't chuckling after you read that.

Yes, I have. I responded by listening and correcting myself. What's your point?

Don't get me wrong, Mike. I like your style and I typically root for you. And I think you are extremely bright. But sometimes you are just FOS (as are we all at times). Not only that, but you elevate your obstinacy to some sort of zen-like, higher state of consciousness.

I'm picturing Mike listening to Eminem Lose Yourself while he gets ready to watch a BYU game and comment on it.

Replace "clouds" with "know it all sports fan".

Know it all sports fans tend to flock to sports message boards.
