Pardon my ignorance Seth, but could you explain your format here? I'm unfamiliar with anything like this. Cheers!
Why? Goddammit why?! Because. Just because... I jest. I'll willingly share: the format's not established completely made up, I was wanting to condense 'ol Shakey's seven ages of man to six words, with the less thans and the greater thans indicating the rise, pinnacle, and fall of us all.
Ah! Haha, I did think of them as greater thans and lesser thans but in the context it didn't make sense so I thought you were shooting for something else. Thanks for clarifying mate.
