[Rhodes22-list] Re: Rhodes22-list Digest, Vol 795, Issue 1

[Slim]

I'm saving it and will keep it at the ready to replace the variables and
repost to anyone that pisses me off!  I mean, c'mon, "profligate epithets?"
"Trucklers" that are "just flat inaniloquent." or  "gormless criticisms".

Are those even real words?  I know I'd be striving to be less inaniloquent
and gormless if I only knew what that was.  8-)

Oh yeah, and "reign of terror".  Nice one.  It's all part of my evil plan to
rule the world!  But the "library records"???  Obviously a repost.

And I loved the "don't be distracted by the patter and the hand-waving."

I laughed my butt off!  He HAS beaten me at my own game!  I want this guy on
the list.

Slim
