You can play with Jingles. You are official god-parent

It's going to be funny when all of the posts made for the past few hours get removed due to irrelevance to the thread topic. I'm used to it. I think half of all my posts have been removed for that reason.

It's weird that Rakim isn't here to derail it with me. He's missing out.

I think cats are more than germane to the topic at hand. Cats are relevant independently of the choice of topic, really.

Yeah, I though that was pretty uncharacteristic of you, from what I've seen.

I like you less because of it. My respect is hard to earn, Mahratta, and easy to lose. Poorly constructed sentences are the number one reason I end friendships. I'd say you can ask my friends, but they're not longer my friends because of assorted grammatical errors and awkward sentences.

EDIT: "Not longer"?! How do I cut friendship ties with myself...

Sorry, ma'am. It won't happen again. Someday I'll make it up to you by posting a wordy paragraph about the relationship between mathematical logic and ham.

Could you make it prosciutto?

Done. Here's a brief outline.

How could one find their favourite prosciutto given an infinite number of possible offerings from an infinite number of brands? By using the Axiom of Choice, that's how. This axiom allows us to select exactly one item from exactly one set of an infinite collection of pairwise disjoint (i.e. no overlap, which makes sense as no two brands carry the same product) sets.
Of course, you'd need an infinite amount of time to select the prosciutto, but that's besides the point. Maybe you're an infinitely efficient shopper.

I don't get it, but I like it. Keep it up, and I'll name a sequoia after you. I'm re-planting some tomorrow if the weather is nice - you jealous of my hipster activity, Aelya?

EDIT: That actually didn't go completely over my head. That was a good Adelle version.
