Bwahaha, that's a bit more accurate 🙂

Well, that is what I'm here for.

I thought it was for your witty repartee.

I thought he was here for you Neph 😕

That is yet another category in which I have no equal.

(and no superior for those like mesemantic smartasses.)

Zam, do you not think that its likewise quite pretentious, dare I say, hypocritical, to lecture someone on their writing style, especially in inconvenient text?

He wasn't making it hard to read on purpose I'm sure.

No, it's ironic.
My redheaded disciple is simply joshing with you, Mr. Vos.

Indeed. I think I've put out more words of needlessly pretentious (and badly written pretense, at that) than anyone could ever find use for.

Technically speaking, your witty repartee is a category in which you have no competition, no matter what level of incompetence you bring to the table. So you might just be objectively terrible at an ability (i.e. being a waste of biomassyourself) that no one else cares enough about to try to do well.

Wait, no, that was mean.
But was it untrue?
Not exactly...
Then we're not sorry.
We're not?
No.
oh. Okay!

Do you think that was mean Zach?

Yes, I quite agree. Amazing.

This is, generally and technically speaking, demonstrably false. I am posting in red to properly illustrate the magnitude of your failure. Your entire post was an attempt to literally outwit me, which would require you become technical competition. Similar posts by many of KMC's illustrious rogues gallery, though they lack my deliciously malicious flavor. Therefore, I award you no points, brand you the heathen liar that you are, and remorselessly return you to your bedroom, where your punishment shall be meted out later. You'd best have the sheep costume on by the time I return.

Actually 'repartee' refers to quick, witty replies. Which is not what Zam responded with. Therefore he would not be indulging in witty repartee in his post, so he is still tecnically correct.

Jump to the 39:58 mark. Enjoy.

Bad animation aside, that was still somehow better than the canon version.

Quickness is relative (especially in the bedroom). Z. responded in approximately 4 minutes, which is relatively quick compared to other things. Ergo, my post still applies.

See? Even the Canadian approves. My victory is complete.

Nothing like a Wednesday night working on electromagnetic physics homework, while blasting Stereo Heart in my headphones, while chatting with four people in GTalk, while periodically refreshing Facebook, while eating corn and drinking ice cold water, and reading all of you argue about wittiness. Life is good!

According to my preacher, science is for queers, which is to say that science is blasphemous and the embodiment of wickedness.

Yet the manner in which he replied was to verbose to count as a quick, witty remark. Ergo, his post still stands.

Z.'s post was merely a demonstration of sophisticated wit, something ignorant plebs such as yourself cannot begin to fathom! I invoke my Authority as the Most Gifted Rhetorician in KMC's History (awarded to me by none other than Z. himself) to declare his words witty, which has the simultaneous and ironic effect of making his post invalid.

Dude, these problems are "the embodiment of wickedness."

I think someone needs to reeducate themselves on the meaning of 'verbose', so that he may see that I was not objecting with regards to his wit, but rather as to the length of the reply disqualifying it from counting as 'quick'. It would take too long to say to count as such in my eyes.
