long winded diatribe that only circles the original point i created this post to make. all erased at least five times and then re-edited to make sure i am not saying something inflammatory or hurtful.

my end point is that this is the watered down point i originally sought to make, but am doing so poorly.

"quote from improv idol" - improv idol.

thoughts?

Quote taken completely out of context
Righteous indignation! Angry rebuttal to imagined insult. Projecting my own fears and insecurities onto friendly online discussion.

Bold, absolutest statement based on anecdotal evidence. Personal example inflating own ego.

Self effacing comment followed by smiley face in vain attempt to maintain friendship.

"Obscure line from poem/song/play about the nature of art/theater/man." -- pretentious semi-obscure source.

Snarky pun involving some sort of sexual reference that has nothing to do with said post. Pleasant feeling of intrusion...
Chicken Fried Steak and all that...

snide remark followed by late 90s acronym to lessen potential severity of impact, lol.

rapid backpedalling to appear rational followed by series of rhetorical questions? creating the air that i am the sage voice of reason? like some guru come among you to lead you down the path with my koan like inquiries? trailing off with wistful declaration that i do not have the response to any of the queries i've just posted...

homespun homile about getting along and vague declarations of everyone's general awesomeness!

self directed snide remark to undercut any presumed pretention or bombast followed by late 90s acronym to reenforce perception of levity, lol. emoticon to drive the point home. 8)

Admonishment to community and reminder about how cool Austin is. Negative comparison to other cities!

Vocalized desire to take break from said forum and reflect for awhile.

half hearted defense of other city i used to live in. reminder to everyone that i used to live in that city. admission that Austin is still cooler than that city i used to live in.

Inquiry about where to sign up for this week's Maestro, coupled with a reminder of: my upcoming birthday, the fact I plan to be in town for one week only, friends are also in town who want to see me do improv, the fact I won the previous week, and a plea to help me escape from my relatives.
