We're not ones to toot our own horns, but the LA Times recently splashed a story on the Congolese cult of haute couture, La Societé des Ambianceurs et des
Personnes Élégantes (S.A.P.E.), which we reported on nearly four years ago. Now, as we were saying, we're not writing this to gloat and say how ahead-of-the-curve we are and pat ourselves on the back and get everyone to applaud our greatness - we would never do that. We're just saying that we are SO over Sapeurs, we've already got other African fashion cults to obsess about.
so does mr. capper really believe in that freemason conspiracy shit or did he do it for laughs? i have to admit some of those freemason/illuminati theories are kind of convincing.

You use the word "gloat" in this post. Websters defines that word as "thinking about something with triumphant or malicious delight." It says think not brag about it. Are there any English majors out there who know how to use the word correctly?
