Dear Helgi

do you like how I made my self out to be greater in beauty than Helen of Troy? Because all she did was launch the ships, while I propelled them across the sea!
 
I'm really handsome, but I'm straight, so I would never go to Greece. I hear that they appreciate the man's beauty even more than the woman's over there, and that, if you're a handsome guy the greek construction workers whistle at you when you go by.

I should describe myself further. I am blonde, classical build, charming, windy smile. My arms are like iron! My stomache is like a washboard, and so I never have to change my shirt, except after I flex my muscles!(cause then my shirt rips!)
You forgot modest and humble. Tsk tsk!
 
Elephant wasn't the word that came immediately to mind. I feel that a few brain cells of mine die every time I read one of your posts. Perhaps you could try to actually discuss books, reading and/or writing in the "book and reader forum" rather than just posting useless drivel that is an attempt to make us all think you're a genius?

P.S. Truly intelligent people don't have to go about declaring their intelligence because it is obvious to those around them.

your brain cells are dying from reading my posts? Well don't worry, I can do the thinking for the both of us from now on.
..I don't take much great trouble to declare my intelligence, do I? My declaration is repeated in my signature. And when the subject of my genius comes up and possesses a great momentum, it has merit for discussion, I think.
..I've already contributed a great deal to literature, can't a man take a nap on his laurels?

I suppose it should discourage such questioning that I put the answer in my signature, but the answer is such a precedent that it is hard to be believed
 
If your choice was to be stabbed in the arm with a needle or thwacked in the face with a frying pan, which would you pick?
A needle.....I have no issues with them. Only as long as the don't have recreational drugs in them, I'm ok with it.
