Ok, Tiiba is evidently significant enough to you to inspire your name... but what the? I'm confused.

What desquires clarifaction?

Tiiba, tiibaism, tiibaist, atiibaism and tiibal. More specifically I was wondering whether your use thereof in places where some would use derivatives of 'rational' was making a particular statement about possible misuse of said word or were perhaps making a reference to a meme that I have not been exposed to. Also, I was slightly curious as to whether you were using words like 'desquires' just to be a d@#$ or whether it was more along the lines of good natured quirkiness. So I know whether to banter or block.

All right, all right. I tried to make myself look rational by defining rationality so that I would have it by definition.

I'm not sure how saying "desquires" makes or can make me a dathashdollar, but I assure you that I hold no malice for anyone. Except people who make intrusive advertising. And people who mis-program traffic lights. And people who make DRM. And bullies. And people who embed auto-starting music in their Web pages. And people who eat chicken.

Tiiba is the name of a fairly low-level demon from the anime Slayers. He was imprisoned by the wizard-priest Rezo in a body that looks like an oversized chicken. He stuck in my mind after I read a fanfic where he appeared, briefly but hilariously.

Oh, that's likely to be in TVTropes then... (Hint!)

Yeah, my googling took me to a TV trope page. Something about an Anime demon chicken. Was it an especially rational demon chicken?

By chicken standards, I guess so.

The "D" and "S" keys are close to the "R" ...?

I think the question was "what heck is Tiiba"?
