Reading that thread, I see that a lot of people here are more interested in jests of the finite variety.

I find IJ to be an extremely interesting read, and funny, very funny. "The ominous finger-pointing of street aggression", which I used as sig for a long time here, came from that book. With me it's simply a case of being won by DFW's style(s) and humor, because IJ's Weltanschauung foundations are a bit rickety.

Edit: Fuck, it's still my sig!

In the sense that it doesn't need to be for echidnas to procreate or it doesn't need to be for us to get a chuckle out of it?

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Because it's you, I'm going to assume you're telling this to super-hot girls just as they were leaning in to kiss you.

OK, if you're not impressed with the echidna, how about the longest bird c*ck ever? It's corkscrew-shaped!
