Re: American Pie (Fight?) (none / 1)

It is important to remember that the Triloqvist Method - the search for innovative wit, driven by nostalgia for the Algonquin Round Table - has at its core the dismissal of all factual evidence - except for the single anecdotal inspiration that formulated the original thought.

The bon mots are far more important that any notions of correctness ;-)
