Worry not thy mind, fellow MFPer... thou art not alone in said feeling(/response)(/mortification)... and 'twould seem a clarion-like heralding from an oracle atop storm-infested mountains, and issued forth with glowering mange...

(good grief, wth did I just say?!)...

...a scouring of the world's vocabulary and expressionistic effluvia would seem to 'elect' the following utterance to serve as 'words in absentia', for this harrowing quandary -- "D'oh!"


...and 'twould seem a slam-dunketh certainticity (<-- a perchance encounter with legitimacy adorned with unnecessary suffixated finery (or so 'twould seem) (lol)) that Annie_01 will be the first MFPer to be awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant... via which she shall henceforth cultivate yet more expanses of unexplored terrain from amidst the MFP landscape's conundra... and reveal yet more 'solutions lying in wait', and for which her fellow MFPers shall summarily feel smh-like exasperated 'of course -itude', laced with relief-laden gratitude... and with an undeniable consequence of such being... that lives will be changed... and the world, at large, will never be the same... (or so sayeth I)...

Verbal diarrhea?
