It just goes to show though, how people view those who take initiative to create something from nothing. I really thought it was hilarious when Colbert asked Mark if he was an elf.

You weren't one of those people. That was a cool piece, and I think you must admit a part of you is elven. Maybe more Mirkwood elf than Rivendell elf.

It's a credit to Mark that he was able to give Stephen a vibe that let him be friendly and non-condescending, but still have an entertaining few minutes.
