Point taken on the cherubic

Point taken on the cherubic at 30 comment. I was a lot more frightening looking at that age. But yeah, I am pretty ordinary looking now.

This is David Byrne country. Taken from the same song you refer to: "He wonders, if, he too, had made a similar mistake."

The use of so many commas in a popular song probably won't be repeated until standard English becomes a protest language again.

I stand at the ready.

As to the latter, I don't

In reply to Strictly speaking, wouldn't

As to the latter, I don't believe you.

As to the former, yeah, I suppose that WAS Wilde's point...but in O'Reilly's case we can only hope that by freezing his visage in mid-snarly the pictures overstate his normal level of ugliness...or maybe not.

That said, he was actually cherubic at 30, don't ya think? I mean, he is an unusually unpleasant specimen, even as human beings go.

Edit to add: You can almost hear David Byrne in the background "how did I get here?"

Strictly speaking, wouldn't

In reply to We get our revenge every time

Strictly speaking, wouldn't the reverse of Dorian Gray be what we usually experience; the accumulation of what we do and feel that is written upon our bodies with indelible ink?

I look more frightening than this guy sometimes.

We get our revenge every time
