This isn't an ontological thought exercise. If they've got a nasty infestation of PONCs, you can see why the 1st Amendment traumatizes them. twitter.com/waltshaub/stat…

If there's even the slightest chance I used "ontological" correctly, you can join me in imagining a PONC tweeting "I'm asked therefore I am"

Maybe @petridishes knows. She has the best words, tremendous words.

when I saw "pests" I was wondering if you were building to an entomological ontological question

Yes!!! You get it.

If they were short questions would you call this an ephemeral entomological ontological question? Or just another malapropism?

if they were as widely applicable as they were brief they might be ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions

As a good episcopalian I should have added ecumenical before you got there, but I fear I've joined a knife fight with a paper clip.

you too? hooray, episcopalians! i feel like you're setting me up for an "antidisestablishmentarian" here but i'm not sure i can deliver

I pegged you for episcopalian the minute I read ecumenical. It's like our secret handshake.
