There's something to be said for brevity.  But I fear my minimum word count would fall outside of it unless I stooped to his level, which defeats the purpose.

We have to come at it from his standpoint. I think it's the only way to get him to join. I mean, we sometimes come at other theists the same way. so, why not a little brevity? Let's give this guy a chance. Speak at his level. I think it could behoove us to capitulate this once to show this guy we are very welcoming. I mean, hey "guy", yes, I am speaking to you, man. I am willing to use short words with, perhaps, 1 or 2 syllables just for you. I think all these long words that are hard for you to grasp, all the long sentences and the barage of paragraphs. I know how it is: grammar is hard for you. I understand: you just want to be comforted in a place where people use small words that you can understand. You don't want a wall of text to be sitting in front of you. You don't have the attention span to read all those words. I am here for you. The others don't seem to be. They just want to berate you; it's hard, I know. I am a nice sweet guy, who has never said a bad thing to anyone in my life; so, believe me when I say: I know where you are coming from. Yes, people here can be mean but a guy like me is here to back you up. I will give you the small lines, the good grammar, and all the 1 or 2 syllables you need to hold a conversation. I am here for you. I won't give you a wall of words. Or long paragraphs, or use words against you. You can trust me. I am here for you. Welcome![1]

You spelled cool wrong. And there is no need to add an S at the end of cool.

And yes, we are all cool.  8)

Foolish fool. You would be able to give a decent answer if you weren't so foolishly being a fool, you fool.

two a t

Maria's song

I feel pity, oh so pity
I feel pity and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me to night
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running
And dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy
GIRLS
Have you met my good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/i-feel-pretty-lyrics-westside-story.html ]
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her
Send for Chino
This is not the Maria we know
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
Miss America, Miss America, speech!
Miss America, bravo, speech!
MARIA
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
(What mirror, where?)
Who can that attractive girl be?
(Which, what, where, whom?)
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
MARIA & GIRLS
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy




the answer

She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey

She's always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She's always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria's not an asset to the abbey

I'd like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

When I'm with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb!

She'd outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle! She is wild!
She's a riddle! She's a child!
She's a headache! She's an angel!
She's a girl!

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

So we've gone from a one word insult to a poorly punctuated six word insult. I suppose that is progress.

Care to try again?
