as mav makes things ever more crwptic (with multiple cross-threading :), we owe relative newcomers some explanation and some oldtimers a good fang-lashing. AnnaStrophic is known by many here (with great affection) as the ASp, a serpentine appellation... [beat] de fensible [beat] ...

(with great affection)

But be sure you really mean that 'great affection' if you would use that appellation.

Oh, absolwtely! This was just for fun here--sorry, et'!--and just a cryptic way of getting a message to She Who Would Be Happy...since I know she loves to work puzzles.

Very sorry, folks, if this announcement was a bit too personal, but I honestly couldn't resist the temptation on the noteworthy occasion. I've been there and done that almost five years ago now, and it really is a milestone and not a millstone around the neck.

That's a shame WW, and my condolences to you too AsP, i am 47..(you can check my profile, pretty sure i left that fact in my profile..
been 47 a few years now.. its a nice age, it suits me--but then, those who have met me, know my timeless beauty.

(oh, sorry do you need a papertowel to clean the coffee you sputtered off your monitor and key board? i did tell you to be prepared!
