Modesty prevents me from explaining how great what I did was.

well, if this track is any indication, no explanation is needed

and no doubt can possibly exist in anyone's mind that more greatness, the greatest greatness is yet to come. because you know how to be great. gooder greatness, even.
  Wed. 5/11/16 3:08pm Laura L:

Was it super great or just pretty great?
  Wed. 5/11/16 3:09pm berbo:

Don't bother explaining how great you are. The rest of us are the losingest losers, just total losers. We couldn't possibly understand your greatness.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 5/11/16 3:11pm Irwin:

Laura, don't ask me to qualify or quantify the measure of greatness of the great thing I did. To do so would reduce greatness to a relative metric of itself.

Oh, great! Irwin's show is on!
  Wed. 5/11/16 3:14pm Polyus:

That was the Jayhawks back there? Not bad.

It's true it is a great show--you're on a roll.

Dumb question: Is Keili still a DJ at WFMU? This song is awesome.

Keili lives in Florida, soon moving to Japan.

Her musical talent is enormous. I hope she keeps sending new tracks. She records most of these at home.

Didn't realize I missed hearing abba so much

Too bad about Abba being one-hit wonders. They had potential.

The Beatles would have been more popular if they didn’t release mono tracks. Get with the times!

You know what makes writing REALLY funny? Appending "LOL" after the attempt at humor. That signifies to the reader that they should be deeply, outwardly amused. It's a courtesy -- sort of like a laugh track. In case someone really dense doesn't get your joke.
