Summer Glau is an American actress best known for playing {{w|River Tam}} in Firefly and {{w|Serenity (film)|Serenity}}, as well as Cameron in the {{w|Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles}} series. In this comic, [[Cueball]] claims that he gives a long and seemingly well-researched comments on stupid blogs, just to let out his anger. This is followed by a particular long comment by Cueball in which at first, he becomes what is known over internet as 'Grammar Nazi'. Then, he proceeds to rip apart the blogger by citing his/her historical and political ignorance. He signs his comment as 'Summer Glau', after which he reminds the blogger to watch the next season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles series, in which Summer act as Cameron. The title text is a reference to the famous dialogue from Firefly (Episode 11: Trash). |

While the author's wildly swerving train of thought did at one point flirt with coherence, this brief encounter was more likely a chance event (see statistical analysis in table 5) than a result of even rudimentary lucidity. | |
