Sairana, that's really not helpful.
Mike isn't bitter. He's tart. Very juicy, with a thick rind.
He's not old. He's younger than I... um.... okay, let's leave age out of it.
Okay, he *is* a man.

Way, way way off-topic, but I almost did a spit-take on that one. Nicely played!

I can no longer count the number of new keyboards and monitors I have had to purchase due to a Tony-spittake. :/

Regardless of his personality, what Mike said there was right.
"Kochirakoso" is inappropriate in that context.

Juicy? Thick rind? Well I have broken bread with him on a memorable occasion but didn't actually try and bite him.
