                    Hay Scott ya know when you put yourself above everyone else you 
have to
                show it to the world.
                The way I see it you have two choices:
                You can remain profoundly stupid like you are,  or reach the penicle of
                perfection like those high and mighty ay-holes.

                Its nice to have a choice
