I really meant to write, Oh, my favorite Canadian, he's back! I thought it
sounded too effusive. Too emotional, so I used a period. But that's what I
meant.
Rationally,
Andy

Are you saying Iron Maiden coined the phrase for the first time? (Somehow
I got through life never having heard Iron Maiden.)
Start with their version of 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner" [it's almost as long
as the poem] if you want something truly evocative from one of the pioneer
bands of metal. You really need to get out more often.
Andy: Oh, my favorite Canadian, he's back. Sorry about our little tiffs.
You know how relationships are ...
I meant it as more run fer the hills. Why in the world would you think
emotions and politics is
silly? Humans don't know the meaning of the word rational.
Are you non-human? If not, how do you constantly step outside the human race
and make these statements?
Andy: Except the things I advocate the human race refuses to do, like
parenting classes blah blah.
Now it's proven with imaging equipment, and you think it's silly? Scary,
definitely, and sad, that our big brains are so worthless and even
counterproductive.
Phew, you finally included yourself in there -- but not really eh?
Andy: Do Canadians really say eh? Probably only to Americans.
But silly sounds like denial.
EVERYTHING sounds like denial to you.
Andy: And most of the time it is.
