I’ll just sit here and wait for the rest of you to calm down because when you do you’ll realize that I’m the person you should be attending to. No, No, no need to be embarrased. We’ll simply ignore what just happened and I’ll reign in benevolence. ---

Hal: Renown Reputation? I do not think it means what you think it means. In fact, it is completely meaningless I don’t think it means what _I_ think it means. anyone here know how to play the snarfblatt? I think these are synonymous with each other, so saying ‘my renown reputation’ which is not something I would ever say, YMMV Is kind of like saying ‘my intellect mind’, or ‘my exceptional superior’ or ‘my dumb stupid’ or ‘my boring tedious’ or ‘my smelly bunghole’ oops my TV show is back on later!
