I feel the need to quote a passage from my wife’s blog.
I felt so smart! Of course, this is probably the only bird on the planet that I know that much about—but I don’t care! My inner know-it-all was so pleased. Gosh, don’t you wish that there were people all day long who just wanted to listen to what you knew? I’m really good at telling people random bits of information—unfortunately, I run into two problems. One, no one cares about the random bits of information. Two, some people, whose name we shall not mention, but whose intials are RA, already know what you are talking about—and heres the kicker—if not MORE about the subject. Arrrgg. There are actually mini-celebrations when I can tell RA about something he hasn’t heard of before that he’s interested in.
Hehe.
You think you’re so special! Where’s the apostrophe for here’s? I love you, you mean little monkey.
Hey, why didn’t you post the part of that entry that said I completely ignored you? As in:
Mine’s name was Harvey—RA said you shouldn’t name things that you’re going to eat, but I completely ignored him.
Hmmm? Hmm?

Take care. You can’t win, due to fundamental asymmetries in human biology.
