Now You Know

No, by the grace of God, you will NOT plead ignorance. You will NOT testify that you never knew any better because no one ever taught you anything better. You will not plead that you were never told.

The Gossamer Thin Line

Hmm. Ya' know the difference between Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom and Jim Treacher of Mother, May I Sleep with Treacher?

The difference is that Goldstein is constantly treading the thin line between pure genius and pure insanity as though he were a blindfolded tightrope walker with extremely perceptive feet that might at any minute get an itch. Just like a tightrope walker, it's fascinating but still kind of scary to watch.

Treacher is staggering all over that same thin line about a mile wide on each side like your most belovèd family drunk after a 3 day binge, and damned if you don't want to join him. But I mean that in a good way. After all, at least Goldstein and Treacher have located the line, whereas I still don't get that geometry stuff. . .

You've been told and NOW YOU KNOW.

(Just kiddin', guys. Please don't go issuing any comic fatwas against me.)
