Very funny, Trolley. Disgusting, but very funny . . . !

OPL, Erik!

It's just a harmless little free-range joke, pecking and scratching in the femme yard. Indeed, it's interesting to note what happens when the hens leave the room -- the place turns into a pigsty! ;^) I often agree, Bobinwales, that splitting the human race for reproduction purposes into two genders...

Snort!

Right on, Ken. To add: in NYC a person can say, "Are you in line?" or "Are you on line?", and either will be understood and tolerated.

Congrats, WoZ -- you must be very happy. Cheers! BTW, several hundred recorders with violins must sound pretty fantastic. Kinda like the time I went to the Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle and they fired up all those bagpipes!

I'll try to find stuff on this to back up my memory (which is full to capacity -- I need to...

Hey, tony h, thanks for posting this! After the first couple of lines, I thought I'd clicked on something I was going to be sorry about, but I'm glad I stayed with it. I will definitely pay attention the next time I hear his name or see his face.

Over six years later . . .

It's hilarious, and features, among other delights, a 4-piece band called "The Craze". Now,...

Whole language, phonics, "sound it out" -- "Oh, no, Phil, no!", I gamely shout, "With all these rules play fast and loose! For sure success, read Dr. Seuss." Now Phil, repeat after me: One Fish. Two Fish. Red Fish. Blue Fish . . . (That was fun. I started going for a second stanza, but realized I re...
