While chortling @ juanmaria's faux bad English & Jo's synthesis of threads*, I feel the urge to point out that the tilde on a Mac is OH SO MUCH easier to produce (option + n).

>ron (the dark side) obvious
Is it only me, does anyone else get worried by the array of character that have taken over dear old tsuwm in the past few months? I'm starting to believe that Jackie was right all that time ago when she said, "Who are you and what have you done with tsuwm?" Can anyone be sure that these multiple personalities haven't tied him up and locked him in a dark, lonely basement somewhere? Maybe we could club together for AnnaStrophic (sound mind has she) to fly up/down/across to his lair and suss out if anything dodgy is going on. All this stuff about the "U" files could really be happening. It could start with a small thing, such as an inability to spell disestablishmentarianism, where could this all be going?

Dear Concerned of Hackney, I have been concerned also about the apparent changes in our long-time friend; especially since his post just above contained a not-so-veiled threat. Good thing you live out of arm's reach, my dear. I will certainly be happy to contribute to airfare for Anna to go suss the lad. On second thought, p'raps my donation should go towards a bodyguard.  What tsay, tsuwm? If you see a mysterious stranger ducking into doorways, or feel as if you're being watched: who knows, it just might be our intrepid Anna! Not to make you feel paranoid or anything.

Even worse, being stalked an addict by, but.

>rantipole ****, trillion, billion dreams
They say little girls are made of sugar and spice
and all things nice but I don't think so (Oh No!)
No I don't think so (Ah!)
They say little boys are made of slugs and snails
and puppy dogs' tails but I don't think so (Oh no!)
No I don't think so (Ah ha!)

Jo, here's a song that was written by John Charles Thomas and recorded by Stanley Holloway many moons ago. I wonder if you remember it? It may not have crossed the pond to the US of A. I loved it when I was a kid because it used language so cleverly:
THE GREEN-EYED DRAGON
Once upon a time lived a Fair Princess most beautiful and charming;
Her Father, the King, was a wicked old thing, with manners most alarming.
And always on the front door mat, a most ferocious Dragon sat,
Who made such a fearful shrieking noise that all you little girls and boys
Beware, take care, and creep upon tiptoe,
And hurry up the stairs, and say your prayers,
And tuck your head, your pretty curly head,
beneath the clothes, the clothes, the clothes.
The Dragon lived for years and years, and never got much thinner.
For lunch, he'd try a Policeman pie, a roast M.P. for dinner;
One brave man went 'round with an axe and tried to collect his income tax -
The Dragon smiled with fiendish glee, and sadly murmured 'R.I.P.'
Beware! Take Care! And creep upon tiptoe,
And hurry up the stairs, and say your prayers,
And tuck your head, your pretty curly head,
beneath the clothes, the clothes, the clothes.
The Dragon went down to the kitchen one day
Where the Fair Princess was baking;
He ate, by mistake, some rich plum cake
which the Fair Princess was making.
This homemade cake, he could not digest;
He moaned and he groaned, and at last went west -
And now his ghost, with bloodshot eyes
At midnight clanks his chains and cries:
Beware! Take care! And creep upon tiptoe,
And hurry up the stairs, and say your prayers,
And tuck your head, your pretty curly head,
Beneath the clothes, the clothes, the clothes. . . .
AAAAGH!
(This last was shouted (the 'aaagh!') while throwing one's hands above
one's head, and looming.)
The idiot also known as Capfka ...
