Thank you for appreciating me as a wise one but just because I’m that wise I’d better won’t follow your prompt.

I truly appreciate the irony of this.

Oh I’m definately guilty of being long-winded.
Like 213 could probably be halfed, and still retain its point.
I blame watching too much HIGNFY in the past. Since their scripted caption segments tend to be focused on set-up, with the image itself being the punchline.

It’s a troll mate don’t worry. Sometimes setting the scene works much better.

I was thinking it before I even reached the comments XD
Just reading through them I was like “Urgh. I could have condensed that…”
But hey. I’m not a writer, or an editor, just a commenter. ;)

Thank you. It seemed a little cruel when I submitted it, but Sergio was having such a shocking run of races that I thought it worked.
