want to bring along those wallowers, too?

You betcha, Sugarplum! I think Hawaii would make a nice
middle ground...

Sorry to burst your bubble there mon choux, but I meant hun as in "eh" with a question mark. Très Canadian I suppose. Mind you, wallowing in Hawaii sounds FABULOUS (it is 2 degrees Celsius here today). Who'd be the fourth again??

bel, paulb has gained admittance to the exalted area!

You and I could meet in say, Chicago, and fly to Hawaii and join up with our fellow wallowers there. Luau, here we come!

patatty has raised the stakes beyond infinity - I'd settle for raising them beyond 100%.

How many times have you heard phrases like
"We're with you 101%!"
or
"I'm 110% committed to..." ??

Buzz Lightyear can be excused a bit of hyperbole as a faster-than-light space traveller, but I'm afraid I can't excuse super-percentages from the likes of managers, politicians and generals.

Is this the same as the French "hein", bel?

I mean, "hein" in French, bel, hein?

So, what's your solution to the problem of super-saturation?

Since it's somewhat on your way to Chicago, surely you could swing on over to Cinci and pick me up, too. I've never been to Hawaii.

Are you sure your name isn't Poissonsurunebicyclette. Why, the French just rolls off your tongue. Hein?

What do you say Jackie, do we swing around to Cinci? You know a little background music is always appreciated when having a good wallow.
