Another fool

One would think the reception my previous replies received would be sufficient to limit my correspondents to more reasonable requests for guidance. One would be mistaken. A case in point:

Dear Mr. Snape

That's just what I like to hear, Mr. Snape.

[thehbpsnape]

Yes, I should have expected you'd get your hopes up, Vars.

[dontbewicked]

if a definition is what you're after...

[thehbpsnape]

How very original.

You know what I love about you Mr. Snape? I love the fact that you manage to answer the question without actually answering the question. And you do so while insulting the asker and his/her friends.

[thehbpsnape]

I find that often the best advice is simply to point out the obvious. A sad commentary on human nature, true, but what is one to expect? Delusion is the natural state of homo 'sapiens'. Witness your profession of love for me.

[macropixi]

Ahhh now, I never said I LOVED you. I am quite happy and secure in my cross species marriage with my human. I said I loved something ABOUT you. Far be it for me to quibble terms and split hairs on technicalites... however there is a difference.

Mr. Snape, I find you entertaining, fascinating and quite enjoyable to listen to and read, but by no means would I want to reside with you, either in "sin" or marriage.

Besides I have a feeling I'd end up in one of your potions.

[thehbpsnape]

You can rely upon it.

[blackroseshadow]

I'm sure it does *smirk*

[thehbpsnape]

Points you toward the link I posted for Vars.

[blackroseshadow]

Ah yes, wonderful sarcasm, what would the world be without it..

[thehbpsnape]

On the contrary, I do intend to amuse. My audience, however, is myself. If others find me amusing as well, at least it will keep me employed during the current situation.

I second the 'amusing' vote. You've quite the voice of refreshing realism. And as much as it may irk you, I found I missed you as well.

[thehbpsnape]

Oh, goody. You too.

[onyx_noir]

Nice to see that your sense of humor has remained intact.
