Indebted to a wispy modal placed before a scythe like comma, I magnified profundity indeed.

Use of the word indeed.

 Suddenly.

Suddenly Seymour!
Wait...was that a poem up there? dale
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

I would but my arms have melted because I got water on them and you know how long it takes them to grow back. what kind of modal are we talking about and how does one place such in front of a "scythe like comma"? Only half of my brain has grown back and I just don't understand

Only half of my brain has grown back and I just don't understand I think you're right to question the meaning here. I was talking about the tendency in academic prose to generate sentences such as: indeed, the metrical nonsense creates an apt resemblance to paradoxically ordered chaos. My use of the word modal, however, was kind of haphazard. To my knowledge, indeed isn't really a modal verb, but it may create a mode for authoritative discourse through a somewhat meaningles utterance. Idk, all of it is really an attempt at bathroom pith. That is, wit generated in the thought space of the John. A scythe like comma refers to the shape of the comma, the universal metaphor of reaping, and the pause generated by the comma after indeed that cuts up the timing of the utterance produced (But again, bathroom pith).

Seen on a women's bathroom wall, "A hard man is good to find."
Is "paradoxically ordered chaos" a paradoxical statement? I never use modal in relation to verbs, only in relation to musical modes. I know some anal retentive grammarians use such terminology, but I try and remember to pray that they will be returned to a sane state of mind. Have you ever really looked at a scythe? It really doesn't look like a comma (see below). I think in general, you are way over shooting your mark if this is suppose to be bathroom humor, even on a university campus. Believe me I know about bathrooms on campus. Depending on which department section you are in, will determine what kind of humor will be written. I can no longer remember it the one in the math department, but it had something to do with "the angle of the dangle is the square root of the hypotenuse". except what it said made sense. Of course the bathrooms near the social fraternities had the lowest level of humor, about what you would see in a bar. The funny thing was there was hardly ever any in the English department, and if there was you could tell it wasn't by an English major. The only one I remember is one that said, "don't throw toothpicks in the toilet, crabs can poll vault." Dale

sometimes I'm left to wonder what is really going on in here, then I move on to another episode of cops.
