What a great title that was. Oh man, I’m just going to take a minute to reflect.

Yeah, 3 months in England and you’ll be saying silly things like “That’s a great title that is.”

I love the copy on that site. It makes me want to read everything so I can find gems like “A tool so elementary, even our CEO uses it.” Bravo!

Well I didn’t write the copy for the website…

Just what’s on that one page I linked to. That’s the fun stuff.

You did!!!! It’s BRILLIANT! That took me by complete surprise, I should have guessed it was you. I only read that page and the one after it. Damn Nathan, how do you get away with stuff like that? What a cool client.

That’s lovely prose, Clippety-Clop. Another obscure reference. What song is “Clippety, clop, clippety, clop, clippety cloppin’
aong” from (I just couldn’t invent a way to park that preposition elsewhere that wasn’t awkward.)? If you guess the song & original artist, I reward you with a prize of a link to an autopsy report. That should set your competitive juices to boiling.

Vaughn Monroe.

I believe he also sang

Sioux City Sue

I’d trade my horse and dog for you
Sioux City Sue

Or maybe that was Bing.

Absolutely right, Nathan. About the song, I mean. Did you have to look it up? I always liked that song.

Here’s an autopsy report for you.

the comment you've been waiting for, but not because of what it says, puffed and 8 Jun 2005

‘what a great title that is’ or ‘that’s a great title that is’

looked at closely, one’s nearly rhetorical and is presumptuous and arrogant, and one’s redundant and despite that or maybe because of it it misleads me. but given the appropriate accent it sounds so usable

Make no mistake, I am often presumptuous and, even more often, extremely arrogant about my writing.

I’m allowed to be, I have a pretty face.
