As one of my friends said of me “you’re an abyss of useless and arcane trivia.” I thought that was a very cool compliment.

“useless and arcane trivia” is the most tautological phrase I’ve come across in a while! :-D

ejcapulate, how fortunate you are to have such an intelligible friend. Mine said I’m a “babbling idiot” and I’m not sure how he meant it.

Ochre and blue (at least that’s what they say in the school song), but sometimes you see Bullwinkle wearing a red and yellow sweater.

Sad but true: Rocky and Bullwinkle ran from 1959 to 1964. I was born in 1979 so I have no excuse for knowing this stuff.
