Our compatriot wow has already pointed out Fearless Leader's appearance in the December issue of Smithsonian magazine as her intro to AWAD (Miscellany), but I thought it fitting to start a new thread on this.

It's fascinating. I learned, among other things, that Anu rides a unicycle (there must be a piscean pun in here somewhere).

Also, I have a book on making a unicycle...I have to try...

wow asks: Are you trying to get a rise out of Fishonabike?
Not moi. That would be inappropriate. He thinks he's my nephew. We must humo(u)r him.

can you do two in one hand? in the other? now just put them together.

-ron (four balls at a time*) obvious

*for very small amounts of time

Wheeling along in your usual foxy fashion, I see, Anna.

Hold bicycle in left hand. Hold hacksaw in right hand.

It's taking transport in the round, rather.
