Humbly report, vampire, Its official. You have made a fool of yourself.

Humbly report, Vampire, it's all your fault!

In #reply-3479876 I made a humble suggestion, but you must have ignored it:

May I humbly suggest you relax, perhaps with a good book?

amazon.com


I don't know if I'm an idiot, as you state, but according to Jaroslav Hasek, the military medical board has determined that I am an imbecile, and I have papers to prove it.

Anyway, since there is now doubt in my mind as to whether you will ever read the book, let me humbly provide you with a short synopsis:

fy.chalmers.se

Please note that it states:

His main characteristics are a tendency to misinterpret orders, or to interpret them too literally; to abase himself to a degree which infuriates even his superior officers; to appear guileless, doing everything with a famously blank expression of equanimity; and to recount hugely digressive anecdotes at every turn . . .

And just to be absolutely sure you understand, as the good soldier I have no choice but to humbly report. Regulations.

In any case, I humbly believe you're posting on the wrong thread. Perhaps you meant to post on the #subject-21817 thread?

So, as I humbly stated at the beginning - it's all your fault!

Cheers,

Svejk

P.S. If you're in a bad mood due to a shrinking portfolio, perhaps you can blame Skipard? ;-)

humbly report&#151It's all your fault! I woke up in a cheery mood today, hoping to read some of Svejk's posts. They're witty, insightful, and humble&#151for people with functional reading abilities. Are you certain that your input on the matter is of value? Kinda pretentious, I'd say.

Now I'm grumpy and it's all your fault! (which is after all, the purpose of this thread)
