haha, damn, thanks. i like how definition #2 doesn’t actually define the word “pithy” — just the meaning of the adjectival suffix “-y”

kind of a stupidy definition. for those of you who don’t know what that means, allow me to give you the second (apparently) acceptable definition:
2. “of, like, or abounding in stupid.”

ps your icon is my desktop picture. outrageously gorgeous photo. almost offensively so (except there’s a slight tilt on the horizon…).

2) pithy: 1. brief, forceful, and meaningful in expression; full of vigor, substance, or meaning; terse; forcible: a pithy observation.
2. of, like, or abounding in pith.

Actually, that was my victory dance. But it was a happy victory. Even if it was somehow against myself.

1) i seem to remember you doing your happy dance more than a couple of times. something about a) sandwiches and groceries in jaffa, and b) time zone differences. but technically point a. was you being somehow happy that your own plan had successfully failed after i had whole-heartedly endorsed it. burning down your own house to keep me from moving in…now THAT’S dedication

2) perhaps ironically so, i don’t know what pithy means.

3) you incorporate dialog well in your posts. it makes them fun to read.
