It's okay, Flower. We're here for you. I hate people, too. They are very stupid and shallow, and usually lack a creative wit. The latter is a human trait that we know disgusts you, but can't you just enjoy the fact that you are blessed with such a wonderful wit? If everyone were as witty or hip (or grammatically skilled) as you, the world would be a very boring place, would it not? If everyone stopped drinking pisco sours at the exact time that you designated them passe, upon whom would you look down? Without the squares, you are nobody. You need them to define you. If the entire world went pitch black, the blind man would no longer be blind. He would be just like everyone else.
We're here for you, Flower. We are the support group you may not think you need. You are wrong. Without us, you are just a guy sitting behind a desk in Minnesota wearing plaid pants, fervently searching for obscure bands and dreaming about unsolicited blow jobs.
It's okay, Flower. It's okay.

I agree with what you say. Mostly. But I think that what you ask of me is a bit counterintuitive. First, let me assure you that I am keenly aware that, without a world full of pussies, suckers, and other blathering dolts, I would not be able to daily revel in my superiority. But it appears that you ask me to, in appreciation of the fact that the inferiority of those around me enables my own feelings of superiority, abandon my contempt and hatred for those less witty, less hip, or otherwise less worthy. But would not doing so undermine my ability to feel superior to these people? I suppose I could try to take on a kind, sympathetic attitude toward the teeming masses of morons I encounter each day. I suppose I could be moved by the pitiful plight of the inane, the dogged inevitability of the hapless. Candidly, the thought of doing so leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I understand the concern that you and Hank are expressing. Please know that my disdain for the suckers of the world has not turned me into a bitter, joyless troll. To the contrary, it has made me the happiest man alive.
