(Is it legal to use parentheses (tall, curvy punctuation mark used to set off material that isn't fundamental to the main topic) inside parentheses)? (See the 3rd paragraph of the Fish in a Cowboy Hat section).

My takeaway is this: Ernie is an a-hole and he's to blame for the $1.7m commode (link). This also reminds me of the Halloween party that Joe Z and I went to circa 1999. We were going to meet there and we planned to go as Bert and Ernie (I was Ernie, of course). I dressed up, Joe Z did not. While semi infuriating, it also provide almost unlimited comedy fodder. Anyway. What were we talking about again? Oh yes, Ernie's problems with going to the bathroom.
