Brendan Strohmeier-Parmer's war with the English Language...

....a war he's losing. Badly. Sorry to get off on something tangentially related to our semi-lovely Heidi/Gwen, but Brendan is such an archetype of the idiocy generally found around Wackepedia that he can't be ignored. Among my favorite Brendan stupidities of late:

* his insistence (even after someone politely corrected him--someone of course now permanently banned) on using "summery" instead of "summary." Of course he is in Orange County, so maybe that famous Southern California weather has simply made everything "summery."

* his perhaps more common mistake of consistently saying "could care less," when of course he means "couldn't care less."

* his best recent coinage--"criterias," which he edit warred about until someone finally explained in simple, monosyllabic English the difference between criterion and criteria. One can only imagine what Brendan is going to do with phenomenon and phenomena.

For those wanting to get up close and personal with Brendan (and you know who you are), here's a lovely little window into his extremely sad and lonely world:

wherein he takes on one of his gaming nemeses. (Ooooh--nemesis and nemeses, Brendan will have a field day "summerizing" those!)

We probably should cut poor little Brendan some slack--notice in his rants and "summeries" how he consistently refers to "us" (meaning Wackepedia). This is obviously a boy desperately in need of community. Thankfully, he's found his kindred spirits at long last.

Heidi's Little Toady, Brendan

It's been fun watching Heidi's little toady Brendan Strohmeier-Parmer (AKA Daedalus969 on Wackepedia) running around making a fool of himself. Aside from his complete idiocy (the boy's grammar and spelling are abysmal), he is a very, very, very busy little beaver, running around "exposing" (so to speak) evildoers on Wikipedia. Of course that means that people with actual brains call him on the carpet quite regularly. Even Gwen (amazement of amazements) tells him to back off from time to time. Brendan is a sad, lonely little fool desperately seeking some sort of support system on Wackepedia, and as such is our totem winner for Wackepedian of the Week. (Make sure to Google Brendan and view his Facebook picture, surely the very model of a modern Wackepedian).
