I hate the world, now?

Not at all. What do you know about such things, anyway?

Yet I am inarguably smarter than you, John Henry.
Still scared to do a direct comparison? What have you done with your life,

I see. So you made this part up out of whole cloth.
But I'd love to hear about these many nonsensical charges I leveled at you.
Allegedly. What did I just get done telling you about people who lie about

Psh. So you're saying I got more hits in July of last year than you did in
three years? Why does this matter to anyone?

You're not offensive enough to rate 'prick'.

intricate material because that Pearl Jam stuff bores them to tears.
