[QUOTE=Q.E.D.]  
You know what? You’re absolutely right. I still think this could–and should–have been dealt with in the GD thread, but having read a few of **Elvis** ’s political posts, I must say I completely understand the desire to take it here. So, **RT** and everyone else who got dragged into this side argument, you have my sincere apologies. Not to excuse myself, but I’ve always been impressed with his posts in GQ as a jet engine designer; I mistakely assumed the same would extend to the rest of his posts, as well. Sorry.

Good on you, accepted.

I am so seldom asked that question, I’d be pleased to take this opportunity to explain. If we presume, for the sake of brevity, a fundamental Cartesian basis for thought, and emphasize the crucial importance of Hegelian synthetic reasoning (as well as other paranoid German bachelor philosophers), we arrive inexorably at

(…HAMSTER REVOLT! 430 pgs of abstruse bushwah deleted! _No Rotoran_!..)

…in conclusion, that Hyrdox are demonstrably and irrefutably superior to Oreos.

I thank you for your attention.

Why don’t you just ask him.

That’s a “finish”, followed by an “afterglow”.
