This thread reminds me of a movie, I forget its name, that started with a guy on a barge on the northern stretches of the Mississippi River. The text over the opening scene said "TWO WEEKS LATER".

You could at least tell us what game we're playing. And maybe even who you're referring to with your unanteceded second person pronoun.

...is this just another questionable remark?
We're supposed to remember that we've played this before, right? George Santayanna and "the lessons of history" and all that?
(Why am I reminded of that old party game that dealt with a pair of scissors being handed around a circle of players, with the comment "I receive them crossed (or uncrossed, as appropriate) and I pass them uncrossed (or crossed, as appropriate)" and it's not about the scissors at all but the legs at the time of receiving or giving ? )

Don't bother asking Faldage; he's not interested anyway.

Not thinking of thingamebob are you?
...And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as What d'ye call him Thing'em-bob, and likewise Never-mind,
And 'St 'st 'st and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed they'd none of 'em be missed! Is this who you were thinking of?
