I applaud you with a fervour the angels themselves could not find rest upon. Such a boundless and potent thread has, in my mind and for too long now, been the shadow at the corner of my eye; the waking dream; the promise of things lost. Were it that more of our comrades had such a vision and, though many will fail to recieve such a joyous message, could breath that heaviest of sighs, that of peace; for surely peace is what we all yearn to carry, supported upon heavy cast brows and straining sinews. You have given us this gift, my gratitude knows no bounds.

Peace makes poets of us all and gives us tongues where we had lips, sealed tight as virgins' dresses.

oh, would that i could find in the sonorous depths of my heart, the words that would convey unto you the rapture you have engendered in my soul! for too long have i gazed - at times seeming to bestride the petty scribblings of the chaff as though an intellectual colossus - and yearned, ached, begged the gods for minds of an equal level, intellects with which i could finally enter into a discourse worthy of the name!
and now, we happy travellers, we lucky few, we sufferers of intellect, have finally met! at last we can engage in true colloquy! was it not adam smith who wrote that 'twas nobler in every regard to be an unhappy human than a happy pig? yes, a man such as he understood the burden of the intellect. and now at last, i have found those that carry this load, the same load that has tormented me this last score years and twelve. come brothers, my fraternal band, let us confer!

Reading your post caused me horripilation.

It has come to my attention that various correspondents of this great site of serious intellect and strategical knowledge, have been, until now, writing far below their average capacities.
Therefore, I would like to take this moment, to applaud, ovate and approve; in an overwhelming show of respect, their newly found confidence as exhilarating conveyors of language.
I do so in a respect, so unfathomable that it is endless; so eternal that it is depthless; so cavernous that it is as circular as the fourth dimension of the universe itself.
May you hope, as well as I, that this exciting and stirring use of English continues on a scale so unprecedented that the invention of the wheel, the creation of the Earth and the might of the Gods themselves seem but mere trivialities on the grander scale of Bowmanness.

Hurrah! I am filled with an emphatic capitulation to throw down these mittens of censorship that have been a bottleneck upon my singing soul's inclination to soar with literary delight, I feel the bosom of my verbosity take flight like an uncaged hummingbird, I am launched anew like the reborn Phoenix torn from its splendorous uterine combustion!

Look upon these words, yea ignorant, infantile plebeians! For too long have you suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune! We bask our heads in the light of wonderment that will inevitably be the necrosis of your puerile and frivolous wanton refractory repositorial tomb. Hark, these words are the cock's crow first summons calling all noble minded and sophisticated intellects together in celebration of a day's delight at the anticipated joyous bereavement of your explicit oblivion.

It presses the true intelligent thing out in, if at the simple word

I also use profanity, insults and generally act like a total ass to cover up for my vastly superior intellect.
