I also think the biographer needs to read the definition of the word genius a few times.

I'm getting the pig!
Oh please. Genius means nothing these days. Everyone's a genius. The word genius is thrown around almost as much as the word champion was on Angel.
And almost, but not quite, as eyeroll worthy.
So... was the story behind Torq or Torque already explained? Is that what you're switching to VictorC? Details!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Having read his prose (btw, did you notice the paragraph that shows up twice?), I'm not sure he's ever had any contact with a dictionary.
I was unable to read the bit (ok, 5 pages) that was in Jordan's handwriting without more work than I was willing to expend.
I was quite struck by how uniquely American Jordan seems to have been (i.e.- that there's something of the national psyche that got writ overly large in his own, which would explain some of the compellingness of the place. I wonder what the foreign tourists think of the place), and marveled at Neil Gaiman's ability to dig up these actual historical crazy people to put in his plots.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have woken up from my nap and am eating some cheese curds. Boy will I miss these when they're gone.
Much like Buffistas. Except Buffistas don't squeak when you bite them.
Umm...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I got "cheese curds" on my way out of WI. They're not cheese curds. They're young cheese. Woe! I am hopeful that the Amish make them, so that I may get more.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't doubt that this theory was tested at the F2F (coughGOSSIPcough). But was it really and truly tested enough to disprove it once and for all? I think we need another F2F next weekend so we can really be sure.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
