So you know how when you listen to a Bad Religion song you sometimes need to break out the dictionary because nobody normal puts ratiocination, probity, and theophany in one goddamned stanza? That's what talking to Dee is like.
True story.
I thought it was odd that Dee kept pronouncing "absurd" with a z sound instead of an s. Is that a geographic thing?
Not one whit; it's a pompous ass Dee thing to drawl out extra emPHAsis on the wrong syl-LA-ble for maximum poignancy. And for an earlier poster, maybe it's not coincidence that U2 is my all time favorite band...
That was my next guess.
