Last night, while I was driving home, I had an epiphany. The whole issue of Jolt Country being my only source of creative input, well, frankly, I don't know, where was i going with this. Oh right, epiphany.
See, I know the exact moment that precipitated the message that started this thread. Not that I remember what day it was (ok, probably the day before I wrote that), or maybe the hour (evening, actually), but at that moment I had an epiphany.
Before that epiphany, I had frivolously said something silly, and I said it in jest, I swear. It came off my tongue entirely without assistance, just as though it had been a familiar part of my vocabulary of being ridiculous for years.
At the first epiphany, I suddenly realized - or so I thought - that what I actually had done was to quote ICJ. That came as quite a revelation (it was an epiphany after all) and led on to deeper musing about a number of things I had said and done at the same time. Hence the enthusiastic message at the top of this thread, which is, let me assure you still entirely valid.
But then I had another epiphany. Last night, I was musing again. In the car. Driving home. Suddenly - and this is going to have a much greater shock value than the first epiphany, at least if you're even remotely as sensitive as I am - I realized - or so I thought - that it was not ICJ whom I was quoting. And it wasn't Jolt Country either. It (the subject of the first epiphany) had been lodged in my brain for much longer than I had been aware of JC. So who and what was it, you ask?
It was Ben. And I quoted the narrator of Aggravatron.
So there I am, hang my head in shame. Go ahead. Make fun of me. It's not like it matters anyway.

It was [size=67]Ben[/size]. And I quoted the narrator of [size=67]Aggravatron[/size].
