Hey Mister Hogmaster, I think that the Asp just called me "a monolingual inocuous". Can she do that and still be considered well-mannered?




I guess monolingaul is better than speaking with a forked tongue, Milo, old friend, but I wonder if inocuous means you need to get a shot? I suppose I could noculater, but I'm not that kinda person. Except when someone honks me off big time.

I do wish you'd think before you leaped sometimes, though. Logwood is kinda new here, he's trying really hard to be a transfusion of new blood without trying to kill the organism; let's all make a resolution:

CUT SLACK AT ALL TIMES!!!!

And as to whether ASp is well-mannered, I haven't the slightest idea what her house is like.

my Dad says, "better than a kick in the pants".

And my sainted paternal grandmother (the one who swore) expanded that to "better than a good, swift kick in the pants."

Yeah. She said "sharp stick." And it's "Din't you never listen to your Mama?"

Geez! Some people ain' got no grammar!
