Et tu, Frute?

Mr roT said...: Do you mean the label or the post title? The label has proven its flexibility, generality, and applicability time and time again. It just struck me one fine day when I imagined you discussing the issues with Zareed Fockaria and Andrew Sullivan, Glenn Greenwald, etc.

The post title, I admit, is a smaller expression of my genius, but not without its charms as well. The traitorous Tinkerbell strikes the One with 'well-meaning' advice, out in public. The open letter that flits and slaps, then marches out in a huff, fruity-coiffed head held high. All the while, the betrayal is deep.

I must honestly give myself an A on the label and at least a B+ on the title. They didn't take long, you're right. But they were acts of substantial inspiration.

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to reflect on my genius. I know it is unappreciated by the knuckledragging readers of this blog, but reliving my brilliant thought processes is as fun as it is astounding and inspiring.; 1/26/2010 1:52 AM
Tecumseh said...: How long did it take you to come up with this label? I meant the label, of course -- more precisely, selecting the label from the available list, not inventing it, which indeed was a stroke of genius.

The title is quite good, too. OK, you got a good grade for that. But I maintain the label (the already available) was just too obvious for this post. I mean, duhhh...; 1/26/2010 9:48 AM
Mr roT said...: I see your point. There is no real inspiration in referring to your fruity thinktank when the post is about a traitorous fruit in said thinktank.

But what to do then, Tecs? This way, both of my shining examples of brilliance are juxtaposed for a more concentrated experience of me.

It seems that to deny the reader of this would be cruel. Think of a gigantic tonic chord in the end of a section of a Bach masterpiece.

It's resolution and completion. Ending in a different harmony is less satisfying and less affirming.; 1/26/2010 12:47 PM

Tecumseh said...: Yes, Herr Rott, yes. Your labels and titles are up there with the Brandenburg concertos. Now, do you feel better? Has your ego taken a good trip?; 1/26/2010 3:03 PM

Mr roT said...: True agents of change are constantly attacked by small-minded shitbags with no knowledge of harmony or geometry.; 1/26/2010 11:12 PM
