what make you think I mispelled the words.
Well, given that we don't use the word "prittier" on planet earth
(certainly not with that spelling, anyway) perhaps you're simply
coming from a different frame of reference.
: So why did you bring it up?
:
My two cents are my two cents.
No, I meant: What did it have to do with the purported topic at hand?
: Jesus, what are you talking about? Do you mean to imply by this that
: one of us should embark on an African safari in search of this
: mythical tool of yours, or that any failure to do so on our part would
: imply some degree of ignorance?
:
Boy.. you got that exactly correct.
Boy, you must have a lot of spare time on your hands. Since we don't,
and you're the one who brought it up, perhaps you could track it down
instead? Thanks.
: I'm especially puzzled by your assertion
: that ignorance could be some sort of attraction ("if they continue to be
: ignorant [...] they will also draw a nice following,,,[sic]"). If that's

:
Nothing is more stranger than the truth.
Or to paraphrase Zippy The Pinhead: If you can't say something sensible,
say something surrealistic. Please renew the perscription - you get very
strange when you're off your medication.
Seems like I got your feet in also to boot...

No "pub" taken! (Jordan grabs his "fairing" and zips off to the pub..)
