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.

"Whilst". Whist is a card game.

Damn those lying cleavers!

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

Oh noes! I'm going to be destroyed by Rick, Super-Genius!

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?
