> [@Smeghead](#): > > See, you’re thinking that “leg” means, like, an actual “leg”, man, when really he’s just talking about, like, sort of a “leg” that’s not really a “leg”, you know? And anyway, what does it _mean_ for a “leg” to be “broken”, anyway?! How can something that comes from nature be broken, huh? Yeah, I get the same feeling. I just hope that since we’re dealing with a text-based medium, we’re going to try to explain ourselves in text. Instead of - you know - being deliberately obscure. ---

I’m reading all of **adhay** ’s posts in the voice of Geoff the robot from Craig Ferguson’s show. Makes things much more entertaining. ---
