This reminds me of Wile E. Coyote, announcing himself to others:
"Allow me to introduce myself, Wile E. Coyote, Super-Genius."

Rick, if you have to call yourself an astute logician for other to know,
then you probably aren't.

"Clever". A cleaver is a type of heavy chopping knife, usually used for

Rick, before you reform the English language, perhaps you ought to
concentrate on an easier task. A few years ago you offered to fork Python
and make it a better language. I promised to be a beta tester for you if
you did so. How is that coming along? Do you have a repo where I can
check out progress?
