Hanzo and PKB do it mostly as a joke. Here's a list of people who are most grandiose in my eyes:
in order of grandiosity 1. Kain 2. N0th1n 3. PKB 4. Hanzo. Even I voted for someone else Maggot. How do you like your poll now? Now that all your hopes of finding people with the same thinking as you is going in smokes.

Re: Most grandiose user on forkheads
And still, as I've showed you already, I did have all of the definitions that I found on M-W, which you believed to be incorrectly quoted. Thank you for the alternate definition, but as I've said before, I specifically chose the second and more ambiguous definition from M-W for a reason, one which went straight over your head.

Actually, it was totally different than the one I found. You didnt get what I meant since you used a different dictionary which had different meanings. Nothing is going over my head here. Did you notice I put what I meant in italics when I quoted the definition I found when you obviously misunderstood what I meant?

On your list of idiots, you shouldve put most of the forum on there, including yourself... Since I'm sure this "glory" on this forum you're talking about you probably never get in real life because you're a reject. You probably have no friends either =P

Re: Most grandiose user on forkheads
I can assure you that you are wrong on all aspects. The most blatant being that I never talk about that Glory thing you seem obsessed with.
