Dagger in hand

A man of prodigious fortune, coming to add his opinion to some light discussion that was going on casually at his table, began precisely thus: "It can only be a liar or an ignoramus who will say otherwise than," and so on. Pursue that philosophical point, dagger in hand.

--Michel de Montaigne, Of the art of discussion.

No, I haven't seen it yet.
We have tickets this Saturday in the Arclight dome. And I've been so damn busy with other stuff that I haven't even managed to watch all of the extended TT yet. Aaargh!

Wow, I am impressed.

I've gotten well over a hundred hits in the past 24 hours from Pejman's link to that last post. Verily, the man has become a mover and shaker. It's like a mini-Instalanche. Clearly we need a name for this phenomenon. A rampej perhaps?

What was that noise?

Did you hear it? That sharp, percussive sound emanating from West Los Angeles? Why, it sounded rather like someone getting bitch-slapped.

Or, to be more precise, like a bitch getting anti-SLAPPed.
