Thanks for the chuckle, evay. "coming to praise TripHammered and not to bury it," brought to mind an old gag from the Reduced Shakespeare Company. In about a minute the troupe covered the plays Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra.

Austin (as Brutus): Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your rears! I've come to bury Caesar, so let's bury him and get on to my play...
Austin and Adam: Antony and Cleopatra!
Adam (as Cleopatra): Is this an asp I see before me? Ouch, oh, I've been bitten by a snake! Beargh!

I have to yet again give full props to the Reduced Shakespeare Company for their role in furthering the popularity growth of the "humor through condensation" genre.
