I know a little man both ept and ert.
An intro–? an extro–? No, he’s just a vert.
Shevelled and couth and kempt, pecunious, ane,
Gus unage trudes upon the ceptive brain.
When life turns sipid and the mind is traught,
The spirit soars as I would sist it ought.
Chalantly then, like any gainly goof
My digent self is sertive, choate, loof.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
Perhaps you should be more open about marketing your squid-proof pocket protectors?
So “ept” is a word now? Damn, PZ, you just got couth coming out all your orifices!
Must’ve been that topless photo…
According to the dic built into OS X:
ORIGIN mid 16th cent.(in the sense [not apt, unsuitable] ): from Latin ineptus, from in- ‘not’ + aptus (see apt ).
What I meant was, that’s the entry for “inept”.
PZ is obviously “too suave and apt.”
No, there was a poem once about someone being “ept and ert.”

Sorry, for “Gus unage” read “His image”!
A lot of people confuse nerds with wimps. You’re not wimpy, so maybe that’s why you didn’t place….SH
PZ is neither a nerd or a wimp, he’s a GEEK! There is a difference folks. ;^)
Mmmm. Fresh chicken heads.
I was rooting for you and Orac, but that stick with the lines and numbers on it says Mark wins.
Cursed be the scurvy knave who Diebolded ye! (I just viewed the pirate language lesson before writing this. I hope you can tell, PZ. Oh yeah, ARRR!)
