Yeah, I don’t know about this writer. I mean, anyone who throws out terms such as “Erebusic marplots” as an everyday term—well, it’s like trying to read Eco’s “The Name of the Rose.” (Come on, man! Tell me you didn’t try!) Or my Western Lit professor back in undergrad school, whom I couldn’t tell if he was waxing eloquent on the pieces we were studying, or if he was quoting them directly. Waaaaaay over my head.

MR. GOOGLE:
Erebus definition - a personification of darkness in Greek mythology.
Marplot: [noun] one who frustrates or ruins a plan or undertaking by meddling. An officious meddler whose interference compromises the success of an undertaking.

LOL! Mychal likes to use words that aren’t seen that often. But he is good.

LOL, I had to run to the dictionary. Could have waited and read your post first and saved a few steps.
