tsuwm, .... you're also the research king!
Quoting your scary auntie without credit, eh? Ah, it's the fate of the creative to be wantonly plagiarized [sigh]

Hi Anna.. No reason to complain, really. Better to be plagiarized twice than never quoted .

Yup.
Presumably you made the inference that the car company in question is Toyota? Or is it a deep-rooted Ford/GM conspiracy to get viewers so irritated with Toyota that they never buy their products again?

I fear I neglected to mention: I luuuuuuuuurve "chopped" liver, especially in a nice rich gravy, accompanied by mash & peas. And especially at this time of year. So yes, Anna, you are chopped liver.

Tom Lehrer, max - now you're dang tootin' ! (bet no one really talks like that) Masochism Tango was always one of my favourites (which probably has some connection to my almost instantaneous addiction to this Board ):
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear
You can raise whelts
Like nobody else
As we dance to the Masochism Tango
What album is 'Plagiarize' off?

the fate of the creative
Auntie,
Did you ever refer to tsuwm as a were-daddy?
You did not.
Did you ever refer to him as a king?
You did not.
Did you ever mention the words "researcher" and "tsuwm" in the same sentence (and maybe some other words such as "awesome", "intelligent" and "charismatic") ?
Just possibly, but I may have come to the same conclusions totally independently; in a similar way to (for instance) fire having been discovered in many places at the same time.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case!

I've had a good old thunk* about the matters raised in this thread, which mostly relate to getting a suss on the people behind the personae (check out Avy's Impersonet bit); and I've come to an interesting conclusion. A Board where people operate under pseudonyms and are not obliged to reveal any more about themselves than they wish is a bit like a masquerade. But this isn't a masquerade in the negative sense of a sham, I think. The ability to enter a new community free of past associations and preconceptions can actually be tremedously liberating. In some ways, it gives participants the chance to be more themselves than may have been possible for some time. It's possible that among the aforementioned limiting preconceptions (and yes, it has to be said that these have often been accepted rather than imposed) are those that relate to a person's sex. In the context of a Board, even these preconceptions can be avoided - without recourse to elaborate disguises! This may be important to some people. IMHO this has the potential to end up a bit like a Shakespearian comedy (although those are restricted to women playing men I believe), but there's no harm in that. There is, however, a lot of entertainment value in the fundamental mystery, the gradual revelation, and even the odd faux-pas if handled with sensitivity and (above all) a sense of humour! *thunk (n): like a THINK, but deeper

Thanks, I don't mind if I do! But the real magic is to recognise the multi-layered spectacle of the original Elizabethan companies: a boy, playing a female role, who then gets disguised as a man...
