> HUMBOL
I'm not certain, but suspect that 'humanities' and 'oxford' and 'library' come into it somewhere or other.
Ooh! HUManities, Bodley Oxford Library, I'll bet!

Mac Davis would be even better known were it not that so many of the songs he wrote were sung by other artists, e.g. Elvis Presley ("In The Ghetto," "Memories" and "Don't Cry Daddy"), Glen Campbell ("Everything A Man Could Ever Need", Kenny Rogers ("Something's Burning", Bobby Goldsboro ("Watching Scotty Grow") and Gallery (I Believe In Music"). He also charted with is own compositions: "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me," "Stop And Smell The Roses," "It's Hard To Be Humble," "Texas In My Rear View Mirror" and "Hooked On Music."
"To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can."

This seemed like quite a neat little summary page to me in my higgerance - be interested to hear what you more enlightened classicists reckon.

A link or two from tsuwmone's post in another thread caught my eye. I pertickly like the coinage architorture! And the old topic of phonesthemics comes up too in this site that sparkles with spunk, spice, speed, and spirit...
