The phrase has gone on long enough. It's bordering on conspiracy.
Way overused. It must stop. I can't go more than a handful of posts
when I run into this dumb phrase. In fact I catch myself using it
from time to time and so I kick my own ass for it. I don't know who
started it...but it really must end. Or at least someone or someones
need to help slow it down.
It's grown to epidemic proportions and is consuming the world slowly
and subtley. But now it's not so subtle. It's in the light now and
it's got nowhere to hide. Just 3 words. They irritate me to no end.
"But I Digress". There I said it. How fucking unoriginal and lame.
Oh well....I will auto -2 any post that includes this phrase and invite
you to do the same. You can start with this one...It's okay, I have
no feelings.
In other news, Here's a picture of what I imagine Ubercon 2009 will
look like....

The flavor of your postry is tart at first, but it certainly has a morsel of meat inside that fluffy shell of prose. Loosen your belt and relax... This aperitif of a phrase of which you wish to make a meal melts away like candyfloss when taken as it is: merely a verbal pallette cleanser between courses of a literary luncheon.
But I digest.

Okay. So we're all in agreement.
But I Digress Must Be Stopped
At All Costs.
This means you!

But I Digress
It hit me that wanting to do something is the most critical and difficult part of most endeavors. People say they don't want to do something because they can't do it. But actually, it's the other way around. Take math for instance. People say they can't do it, therefore they don't want to even fuck with it. But if they could only convince themselves they wanted to learn it, they'd find it a whole lot easier. Maybe not easier, but possible. It's only impossible for them because they don't want it bad enough. I threw my math book through the wall once. Actually it was my physics book but I was stuck on a mathematical part of it. You can see how badly I wanted to learn math. And I did, even though it drove me to throw a textbook through half inch sheetrock.
Computers are another example. Some people find computers unfathomable. You and I both know that any moron can use a computer, at least to the point of setting up an internet connection or installing new software. The only thing standing between the average person and computer literacy is desire. They don't want to learn a newfangled thing. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. But ignorance of computers puts one at more of a disadvantage than does ignorance of math. Microsoft is an evil, pervasive force. Knowledge is power. When it comes to computers, ignorance means assimilation. We cannot afford to lose all these ignoramuses to Microsoft!
But I digress.
Or I would, except I promised myself never to say that here. Someone was being mocked just the other day for saying it. Ordinarily that would smack of censorship to me, but I have to admit "But I digress" sounds pretty snooty, like something a pointy headed liberal might say while snifting cognac in his own personal library while pumping a few of his favorite constituents for more money. Like something Barack Obama might say, come to think of it. That articulate black guy running for president. We sure as hell don't want a president that goes around saying, "But I digress," do we? Has W ever said that? I'll bet he doesn't even know what "digress" means. Of course, he might have said it anyway. "We will digress with the Iraqi government to make sure the time is right before we pull our troops out."
But I really did digress there, didn't I.
