I would like to say a few words about OEDies ... a subject which was mentioned earlier in this thread with something less than fulsome praise. Speaking for myself, I appreciate an OEDie which is threaded with surgical precision. In tribute to the golden OEdie, I have composed this brief paean which I hope will appeal to many if not to the allure.
Cognition without cant
Chant without rant
Mantra without manna
From the Top Bah-nana.
A wise man once said that next in honor to the originator of a quote is the person who deploys it aptly. While I confess I have felt overwhelmed at times by Pooh-pedantics, I have never been tsuwhammied by a good quote. Indeed, I have often been entertained and enlightened by them. And I hope to see more of them ... with one necessary qualification, of course. "Less is more".Which reminds me, I am overstaying my welcome. I think I will volunteer myself for penance in Pooh-purgatory. And we ALL know where that is. [Horrors!]
