Do you actually think anyone will take two hours out of their day to read this bullshit! Does it make you feel smart? The title alone is enough to turn most people off. The word manifesto strikes fear into anyone on this site who isn't seeking enlightenment; which I venture is about 99% of members. You are notorious for ridiculously long posts, but this, sir, takes the proverbial cake!

From Dictionary.com:

Athleticist = no word found in dictionary (See Ishkur)

Manifesto = A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions, especially of a political nature.

Spectre = n 1: a ghostly appearing figure; "we were unprepared for the apparition that confronted us" [syn: apparition, phantom, phantasm, phantasma, specter] 2: a mental representation of some haunting experience; "he looked like he had seen a ghost"; "it aroused specters from his past" [syn: ghost, shade, spook, wraith, specter]

Epoch = A particular period of history, especially one considered remarkable or noteworthy.
A notable event that marks the beginning of such a period.

KP's definitions:

Spectre = Barry Bonds
Epoch = The day Barry Bonds started taking steroids
Manifesto = The day Barry Bonds admitted he didn't know what he was taking
Athleticist = What all ballplayers become once they start taking steroids
