@jkuvakas My thoughts exactly JK; I've always been bullish on the paucity of intellectual paltriness....it's a big part of who I am to be honest.
Gentlemen, thanks for all those inspirational words. They are priceless.

I despair. Serves me right for posting. This is precisely the kind of thread that I was referring to in the first place. It starts with a perfectly serious, straightforward and informative post, submitted in good faith, and rapidly degenerates into increasingly surreal irrelevance and fatuousness - a concept which, you might wish to note, has NOTHING to do with fatbergs. And neither do I these days, although in the past I used to find their sensual texture, their comforting, all-enveloping bulk and their uniquely penetrating aroma (somewhat evocative of a traditional Provençale sausage factory) strangely attractive.

@ed-davis Thank you Ed but I believe the real thanks goes to Graeme Ogg and JK's late Uncle Heathrow, without whose embellished experience and selfless sacrifice the subject thread could not have been conceptualized.
@graeme-ogg In relation to your overreactive response and aside from your polish sausage link (as it were) to residual sewage conduit scrapings, the greater question remains........can something that is surreal actually be irrelevant and fatuous?
I would have thought - given the abundant available evidence - that one could say certain contributions could qualify for all those descriptions in some measure. But obviously I am prepared to defer to your rigorous philological and philosophical reasoning in these matters.

@graeme-ogg I'm just not sure I am qualified to comment further as this subject. Much like your "main" employment environment of earlier years, this thread has become overly deep and wasteful. I'm taking the manhole so to speak.
@jkuvakas Ach...such a horrible way to go and to be honest not the legacy anyone would choose. Although to be positive about it, I suppose your Uncle Heathrow's suffering being vaccugutted by pushing the flush button while still seated prompted the autoflush safety feature we all enjoy today. I think your family can proudly call him a vacu-pooper pioneer.
This is good. A learning conversation. Summa Cum Laude at one end and vacu-pooper pioneer at the other. Yeah; this is great.
I think you're the last man standing, Tony.

@perrone1 I think that's actually called Suma Buma Guma in the Sewerworks Poofessional Degree Program. I will of course defer to Mr. Ogg, given his vast experience.
Well now, when all of you high learned type guys get to going here, I find it entertaining the occasional times I understand what you all are talking about.
@bob-jackman, perhaps you would be so gracious as to share that awareness with us, as we are collectively nonplussed as to the nature and substance of these erstwhile exchanges.

@jkuvakas 'Tis true that drivel can be confusing at times.
I'm not saying a word.
Actually I'd love to say it, but it is so rude, offensive and gratuitously obscene it would be automatically deleted. So why bother.
