# FIXME This is a **terrible** hack.  This logic should really be
# in the model.  It's very difficult to put it there because we
# can only perform index updates here, in the API layer, because
# of the way we mix sync/async code.  You should be shaking your
# head in disgust the entire time you read this code and be
# thinking, "What kind of fucking muppet would even think this is
# a good idea?!  ZOMG!!"

Talk

A man develops a highly sohisticated way of communicating.
It's a language of arcane and inspired symbols, dedicated to the
art of being witty. It has exquisitely abstruse features.  No one
can understand the man, but that doesn't perturb him. He goes
for long walks, and then sits in a scenic area of the park and tells
himself cunning, subtle, utterly brilliant little jokes at which he
chuckles and wipes his eyes and shakes his head, knocked out
by his own genius.
