|Ah - the old "indirect boasting technique". Very nicely applied,
|but I spotted it!
Not quite, I think. The boasting-by-satirical-self-deprecation
technique isn't QUITE the same thing as the boasting-through-indirection
technique. They are certainly in the same family, but take a look at
the book _Braggadocio Patterns_ for a discussion of the difference in
application.
Self-exemplification-is-an-aspect-not-a-pattern-ly yours, Lulu...
