Liquid Nonsense

My friend Megan wrote a post about the lost art of conversation. I agree with the content, but this is about a comment I made. My conversation skills are a thing of legend among certain people. They are long, involved, thematic, typically not safe for the general public, and generally very well informed. Megan's description of me and my strange power:

You, sir, are the Marquis de Sade of conversationalists.

I don't know if I've ever felt more pride in someone else's description of my verbal skills. Also of note, last night looking through old writing and comments I uncovered this gem from Megan too in response to my more glib writing:

You are saying what everyone else thinks, but more intelligently and funnier. You're like Jimminy the Cricket on acid.

I heart Megan.
