You see, my brain is that of a 50 year old professor and it's housed in a rather young body. Because of that, everyone is amazed and my astounding maturity and most people in forums and yahoo groups don't believe I'm anything less than 40. Many have talked about the incisiveness of my arguments (let me see, how do teenagers say that? Oh yes, coolness of my words) and the incredible witticisms I sprinkle my posts with. Most people are totally unable to accept that I'm any younger than 40. Sigh, what can one do when one is just born with a strikingly mature mind?
Folks, I have to go now. I have an important lecture to give in my college in Oxford. It's on Shakespeare's imagery and I've got to give quotations from at least 20 plays and poems by the Bard. Godspeed! Oops, that's the Shakespeare side of me. Mustn't allow the job to interfere with my personal life. Bye folksies!!
You betray yourself. You have never been "incisive"; your adjective, not mine (remember, I'm the asshole that took issue with your constant 'alter boy' credential bullshit).
Someone with the responsibility of quoting only twenty poems or plays from Shakespeare could have done better than 'Godspeed'. C'mon. You are pretentious. I know him as Bill.
More damning is the fact that you called me a 'folk'. No doubt you thought this would be endearing; however, Susan Jacoby laid waste to this sentiment years ago in her book. What book? You are a supposed educator; therefore, you should know.
