translation:
Wes, you're smarter than I am. I know it, you know it, everyone who has ever read one of my posts knows it. I continue to deny that you are smarter than I am because knowing you are smarter than I am hurts my feelings. I want to be a big man. I want to have respect. I want to be smarter than I am.
But I am too dumb to know how to do those things.
I will try to make witty replies, even though I know you will laugh at most of them as not worthy of someone of your skill with the written word, but my pride won't let me just leave in shame the way I should.
I know I suck, but I maybe if I hang out with you long enough Wes, I can be like you when I grow up. Don't tell anyone I said that though, it will make me look even worse than I know I already do.
