(this situation started with the use of being a real-time-ish, snarky-bit of the annual ritual of self-proclaiming one's fabulousness. however, as i was stream-of-consciousness writing, i am now pausing it until continuing after this even because of this.pars-ley defined . a bet on the word (by andy) before this morning's farmers market routine.
