Ah, thank you for clearing that up, Milo. You can understand my confusion, the style was so similar to yours -- as well as the bringing up of politics on a non-politics message forum.

Your confusion is quite understandable, Strophe, I am aware that you would think any deviation from the rules a telling point - what with you being the protege of the Faldage, for whom they invented the term "straight-laced". " Good thing he din't show it the day before the election or all them little rascals woulda gone and hacked the system, losing the state of FL for the Forces of Go(o)d."

That would be strait-laced, young man.

Don't confuse the poor lad with facts, Faldo. He clearly has enough crosses to bear.

Sure, why be right, when for just two affordable extra letters extra you can be wrong?

Oh yeah...now I get it. A gang bang. You two old timers want to play a game of "Three Stooges". Well Ok, but I get to be Moe - OK? Moe: Listen up boys, straight-laced is a evolved form of strait-laced. Although the archaic word "strait" yet survives in nautical terminology and means "narrow" as in the Strait of Magellan, its usage is otherwise antiquated and the original meaning is better conveyed by the more apt associations that come into play with the use of the word "straight". El Comprehendo, bee-bee brains? Curly [Cappy]: NYUK! NYUK! Ooo, wise guy...take that (slaps poor Larry who in reality is Faldage who in turn bites Curly's left ear). Moe: (With a tap of a wooden mallet Moe conks Larry who in reality is Faldage on the top of his wooden head ) Stop it boys! Now Larry you go and apologize to Curly. You tricked him. Curly is not the smartest turtle in the tank and you told him that there weren't any rules; and then you went and made some rules up...(conk! conk! conk!). Curly: You Rat! (slapping Larry who is Faldage, Slap! Slap! Slap!) Why didn't you tell me to shut up? NYUK, NYUK, NYUK! The End

Curley? I believe the proper name is... "Curly"  "It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years." -Tom Lehrer
