Shall I edit the post? ;P

[paradisacorbasi]

You can't edit polls. You'd have to create a new one to do that.

[zianuray]

Oh. Well, shall I make a new one to irritate our Brujah?

Is it! I didn't know that! References please! (Though why you hadn't posted them already since you KNOW i'd ask....

Oops! My mistake. I had remembered it incorrectly. I was thinking of J. R. R. Tolkein's use of the expression, which comes on page 23 of Houghton Mifflin's 1984 copy of The Hobbit (illustrated by Michael Hague). It reads thusly:
"Hear, hear!" said Bilbo, and accidentally said it aloud.
"Hear what?" they all said, turning suddenly towards him, and he was so flustered that he answered "Hear what I have got to say!"
I apologize for my error.

Though what I find most interesting is the lack of commas before quotes, as in Bilbo's answer there on the last line.
