Ah, but Slithy, I beg to differ...it is actually translated as the slogan "mission accomplished" by thousands of happy Mexican boys in Cancun each year after yet another onslaught of wild, and *innocent, USn college girls on Spring Break...

The Only WO'N!

Ah, yes...it must be time for the nit harvest, Faldage is back to rare form! To wax as such a literalist in the face of the jocular is just, well...just plain boring. Is Faldage now treading the fragile ground of turning into a Humorless...oh no, no! it can't be! I won't say it! Dey's all gettin' lade den ain't dey?...de gringos, de gringas, everybody!
