The internet really took a turn for the worse once they let people like me on to it.

to paraphrase a director: "any club that would let me be in it is a club that I probably shouldn't be in"

It's never gauche to quote Marx.[1] Especially Groucho. He wasn't a director, though, as far as I can tell.[2]

"director" is probably a reference to Woody Allen quoting Groucho Marx in Annie Hall [1]. It's a great movie btw. Comes highly recommended from Roger Ebert [2].
