Even rob was scared of jmk. He used ... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks
- dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes, and satire.

my interactions with jmk where talking crap while hanging around the
coffee machine (always good) and approaching his office to ask a
question.  he'd find the right databook and often point me to the page.

"dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes, and satire"?

don't cross him, it's true.  he's a mate.

No disrespect was intended to jmk, who clearly goes to eleven. I was
attempting to express appreciation of his droll post, using an
increasingly obscure Monty Python reference.

i'm sure he's say "there's some lovely filth down here" when looking
at today's favourite linux source.  dhog called it "vomituous", which
is not a real word, but expressed his disdain.
