    Joe's plan was uncivilized, arcane and protected by a complex code. That's right, it was barbaric, esoteric and alphanumeric.

    If it's rational it's not absurd. If it's sophisticated it's not barbaric. If you can look it up it's not esoteric.

    This particular tweet has been treated with esoteric oils, so as to release a very compelling aroma as one reads it. And then one votes.

    It's physics, not magic. Get rid of the goat; we don't need esoteric rituals to do mechanics. Also, I am squeamish about blood.
