Interesting that the young lady was a maverick because she chose to study worm sex. I remember very vividly the only time I ever saw an earthworm sex orgy. I was night telephone operator at McLean Hospital, and one early April morning at first light left switchboard to look out window. There on the lawn were thousands of earthworms copulating. I couldn't time the duration, but they were all gone by the time the sun was up. No early bird was early enough dine on doubles. It seems to me that that the Army has a special meaning for maverick. A mustang was a West Point cadet appointed from the enlisted men, I think. Perhaps maverick referred to officers trained at the other military schools. Corrections invited.

Sad that he is missing his moment of fame. I think so, yes. And, he knows.

Which happens more and more often as I enter my dotage. Dr Bill, I think it is the first time. And Maverick has replied in the Weekly Themes forum. Jackie, Sad that he is missing his moment of fame. Who are you quoting? 'Scuse me, but this is not the same as our lovely Anna's name. ...And who are you responding to? Faldage, How you do dat post-a-subject-without-a-body? And if you say AnnaS 3x fast does it come out Anaïs? bridget96, See Dr Rieux comment in the *approprate forum. Thanks, looks like my ball-peen approach ain't working Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Gimme Shelter #28744 05/10/01 10:04 AM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York All stray cats welcome Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Tying up loose threads, and raising new questions #28745 05/10/01 12:41 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Ok, Anna-- I was very confused myself, trying to track down the "sad that..." line. It is all too easy to convince me that I have lost my mind (as this is in fact often the case), but I believe the good doctor must have deleted it from his post, subsequent to my copying it. As to, "'Scuse me, but this is not the same as our lovely Anna's name.", that was in response to Faldage's subject title, which I presume was meant to tell me that I had committed a faux pas by saying maverick was the only handle used as the W.A.D. And, I guess you can just do a subject title, then hit Submit, and you get the empty box as a post.
