Must ask twin brother Donald.

Of course, by mentioning "twin brother Donald", am I just exposing myself to ridicule, viz., referencing another infinitely referential/meta work?

The fact that I ask that above question begs the concept of belaboring the point, i.e., explaining the joke, as if those poor souls who read this would not be able to limn my meaning.

"Viz."? "Limn"? Who the hell do I think I am, David Foster Wallace? [1]

[1] David Foster Wallace is a well-regarded writer known for his unusal, well-chosen use of language, including the terms mentioned in quotation marks above.[2]

[2] And footnotes. Wallace also uses many, many footnotes.

Oh, ha ha. Footnotes inside footnotes, imitating Wallace. How clever. How's that working out for you, being clever?

Shut up, Durden! I really don't need any of your crap right now!

And neither do I!

...Donald?

Don't be a moron. You're an only child. You have no brothers, much less a twin one. It's all just a matter of the voices in your head warring.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm about to be dropped onto the side of the New Jersey Turnpike.

Do you want me. To hit you. As hard. As I can?

No thanks. I've been down that road before, and it just ends with, for some reason, Meat Loaf getting shot in the head.
