my "special olympics" connection

in a fit of boredom and an attempt to add fuel to a nicely raging fire, i jumped into a nice but arbit flamefest on facebook a couple of hours ago. thanks to the meditative nature of my last trip to the bathroom, i have now realised why.

to put my thoughts in context, i must (as usual) first quote something, this time a famous anonymous internet quotation:

Don't try to act hardcore with the keyboard. Fighting online is like racing in the special olympics; even if you win, you're still retarded.

- anonymous retard

my counter quote:

if fighting online is like racing in the special olympics, then i'm the non-retarded guy who's pretending to be a retard so that he can race backward while juggling in synchronous siteswap. i'm not running to win, i'm running to make a point. if i win, that's just another thing to brag about.
