I'm sorry but this word desman is so common that it won't make a very good hogwash subject. Everyone knows that desman is a barrow in the marketplace.

Maybeso, Alex, but since when did that stop a rousing game of good ol' butt kicking Hogwash. Maybe you could supply one of your nice rhymes...

Everyone knows to not take me *that seriously... I apologize for not sending you a membership card.

There's no banter better than betrothing a clean hog with a bemuddled pen.

Damn. I think I'd better lay off the booze. Did anyone besides me see a picture of Musick that looked like a monkey?
Now it's gone. Maybe I'm going crazy.

On the other hand maybe all I need is a little drink. Thanks Musick!

Drink your coffee in peace, Alex.
If you study long and finally think that you understand what Musick said, you are wrong because that is not what Musick meant.

Musick is a desman and desmans are notorious for their jumbled speech.

I am only half desman and the other one third is Irish.

It's really more of a question of what musick was responding/referring to. His first post in this thread seems to be vaguely in reply to some non-existant antecedant. Perhaps he is suffering from desmania.

So a bishop a walrus and font walk into a bar. The doorman stopped the font and said "we don't serve your type in here".

Obvious. If your name is Desmond, then it's the pronumciation by the guy next door

You pica! That's another one of them elitist jokes, isn't it? You've spent your time roanin' around the net looking for a place to tell it, that's my guess. Prolly eat OCR-A out of one of them there fancy schmancy modern copperplate pans too.

I think I have nine or ten, and would like to at least get through half the alphabet, so I'll hold off on posting the putative answers until Monday AM.
