I have often thought if the minds of men were laid open, we should see but little difference between that of the wise man and that of the fool. There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both. The great difference is, that the first knows how to pick and cull his thoughts for conversation, by suppressing some, and communicating others; whereas the other lets them all indifferently fly out in words.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman

Both these fools have the agility and quickness of sandbags after a flood. And footwork? It's like watching Ents try to Morris dance. If you didn't know saplings could be sedated, well, neither did I, but that's what you would've seen last night.

DeMoor starts the match by swinging his left arm around in a circle like he's turning a crank, and he does it, like, continuously. It's _weird_. It's like "my dude, switch directions if you're having some sort of medical event." I'm guessing someone told him he has to wind up to land a good punch and he didn't understand the instructions.
