It reminds me of the famous radio programme by HGW.

Thanks jmh for the reminder. I live near the area where HGW set his play(?) and one night when I drove out of a suprmarket's parking lot, I turned on NPR and they had that show on (marking its anniversary). I came on in the middle of it and thought it was for real and wondered why there was no panic on the roadways.

Since this is a word site, I took the liberty of correcting the typo in the title. And I hope all that red stuff was really ketchup, not blood. Jackie might get upset again.

All right, you guys are going straight to hell, no stopping at go, no getting out of jail for 200$

Hello, BelM! Actually, Max with his "pseudo-rant" was paying me the supreme compliment of trusting that I'd get the joke. Max, I am sincerely flattered.

Ok, Max and Kieva... when you are in New Hampshire as candidates in the Presidential Preferential Primary, do stop by and say hello!

I googled "Krapp's Last Tape" AND ""The Raw and the Cooked", mostly because I didn't get the juxtapositioning of these two works. I got two hits, one an example of the offending emails, and the other a collection of similar quotes, all quite obviously the work of the same AU¹. why someone would go to the trouble of collecting these (without comment) is beyond me.²

¹Artificial Unintelligence
²this phrase is lifted verbatim from several emails I have received³ over the years.
³in another context!

I've never seen such a 'creative' site. It's too bad one cannot input certain characteristics and invite the site to spew a more pointed complaint. For instance, I have a co-worker that is both long-winded and famous for name-dropping (and not very good at that either). How I would love to fashion a 'complaint letter' in that regard.

Does a similar URL have those capabilities?

I expect that either Keiva or Max (or both) will be approached by the Bush campaign to work as speechwriters for the next presidential election. Their style suits Bush very well. And Keiva -- take the job. If you help get him reelected, you will be a shoo-in for the next opening on the Supreme Court.
