edaddy, You really must stop hiding your light under the bushel: you forgot to add that you also do peerless braggadocio, you can have someone look the meaning up for you here:

Sarcasm is lost on this crowd. I swear some of you people are just like, well ... a bunch of Iowa pig farmers.

While I've always been a legend in my own mind, no one else seems to recognize my greatness. Generally, I lick my wounds at American Digest. Yesterday, as I fled to that one refuge left on the web, what did I find but some gigantic Iowa pig farmer whose only claim to fame is writing programs, building motorcycles and raising rare pigs?

Btw Bill, that was more sarcasm ...

Posted by edaddy at March 2, 2013 9:49 AM

We not only recognize but we hail your greatness, edaddy!

Behold, a response from the Master Himself! When Gerard unsheaths the sword of sarcasm one can only bow down in awe and respect.
