You kiddies are so funny! What? Do you expect Homer in response to :doh: Simpson?

Robert Bloch (SF Writer, best known for the script of Psycho) said it way better: "I see your point; I saw it as soon as you took off your hat."

I'm not Robert Bloch (SF Writer, best known for the script of Psycho).

The whole lezbo thing (which includes Jane's trips to his bunk to resolve his issues).

If I had said, "How can I not graciously concede your point? -- now that you've so kindly removed your hat." you'd be trying to fault me for being too derivative. Nevertheless, I like what I've just derived; I hope I can remember it the next time it's appropriate. I know *you'll* be using it. Won't you?

"Sing, O goddess, the reedy wrath of reedy-thewed Bob, son of P'lese, that brought countless ills upon the b'Achaeans."

Hell no, I already stole the line from Bloch and used it without trying to better it. I certainly would not use yours, it's gramatically awkward and lacking in oompf.

It is not gramatically awkward. It's a stiletto (and it's multi-layered, which is something I like -- it's far more humorous than the original); one isn't required to use a mace at all times.

"Sing, O goddess,...Achaeans.

The first line of the Iliad, with modifications:- "reedy wrath" was pathetic - something like "impotent wrath" would have been better (an additional level, a hint of my waning sexual potency?); "reedy-thewed Bob" was better, but the repetition of reedy shows a paucity of imagination._

From you? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: No, never._ Sheesh, try to think, here! It is self-evident there was no implication that you could not quote Homer, it was you who introduced him. But let it pass, let it pass.

Yes, *do* try to think here. You're whinging because I gave "Yer stoopid!" no more thought than it deserves.

Yes, I see your point. Oh, I think you dropped your hat.

Do you now? If you look closely, you'll see that you're missing yours. :-D

I'm on to that old trick. I look at the floor to find my hat and you try to steal my point while I'm distracted.

You still don't get that it wasn't a "Yer stoopid", do you? :sigh:

Perhaps the soap slipped his mind?
