Dear MaxQ" while crossing two threads in my alleged mind "metacognition" and "wanking" I was reminded of uncommon term "manustrupration". When I tried to look up etymology, I could find little about the second half of the word, except "pollution". I wonder why that term was chosen.

I had not given a picasecond's consideration to the question of what the second w stood for.

You will note that I forebore mentioning that wwh is a TLA. Truly lecherous acronym. I really did. It was nearly irresistable - but not quite. I thought about it, I rolled it around in my mental palm, I tasted the opportunity, I strummed it over and considered the implications of hammering the point home. I sucked on the sav, I felt my ears twitching, I adjusted my mental gears, I had tears in my eyes at my own anticipated innate and dignified manliness. And I eventually chose to pass over what was, any honest commentator would have to agree, the opportunity of a lifetime.

But you didn't. Pig Islanders strike again! On yer, Kiwi!

Why thank you, it's a gift.
Yes--that's why they call it the present.

Dr. Bill, I would bet my life that my sweet Max would never deliberately try to cause anyone to feel bad. So, if you see something from him in the future that might be taken either way, you can feel confident in taking it the good way. This, I know. No need in worrying yourself, where he is concerned.

The rest of us, however, are another story. <eg> [EG]

I count at least three... not counting my own, since I don't *count.
