Portobella mushroomsAccording to bartelby, I believe they are either port abell a or port obell o, but not port obell a -- a nit picked solely for purposes of the next post.

Dear Faldage, and AnnaStrophic: My blurry vision has screwed me again. I can't even blame it on being intoxicated with Rum Shots. I despise the stuff. I remember a lab tech that used to hang her pectoral perfections on my shoulders when I was teaching her to read slides. I put a fifth of rum into her ,and a quart of Coke into me and she was still saying No.All those Cuba Libres to no avail. So I am the King of Non Sequiturs. I am filing an Abdication Application. Befogged Chagrined Benighted Bill

so following that, it would be unobello (or is it unbello?) or unabella(what about annabella?-- i thought that name meant beautiful lady) or did you intend to call me a a man (who is a)beautiful (woman)? in which case you are wrong! i might not be a beauty, but i am all female! i thought this was gentle words, not a thread about Chicks with D***s!

Well faldage, I admittedly had conflicting priorities here. But why let grammatical precision take precedence over thanking mav for a compliment, and making a compliment to a dear lady?  Venuta qui, cara mia...[too busy to continue the discussion further -e ]

Or why interpret something as an insult when it can just as easily be interpreted as a compliment?

or unabella(what about annabella?-- i thought that name meant beautiful lady)A "few" years back I was doing the lead in the children's version of "Androcles and the Lion." The lovely Princess is named Isabella. So there's a line in the show that I always hated, but to this day it sticks in my head and haunts me, to be blurped out at odd times. This is one of them. Here's my line to her as Androcles: Lovely, lovely Isabella,
I stand outside with no umbrella!  Every rehearsal I'd look at the director in incredulity and ask, "Do I really have to say that?" [Yes, you do!] "No chance of cutting it, huh?" [Nope, 'fraid not!] "Thank you." Thanks, Helen (my lovely unabella! ) for remindin' me of that!

In honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday today:
With malice toward none; with charity for all; ... let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds, ... —to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves ...
-- Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address. March 4, 1865.

A few words in that address "to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, are seen in the Veterans Administration seal at the entrance to may VA hospitals.
