To Her Grace, the ever-fair Duchess of Pooh-bah, beaucoupS (I know, I know, but I have a poetic driving license) of Bouquets from her humble servant, Scribbler. Dear Lady! Dear, dear, Lady! You are too kind, indeed. As to Scribbler's proposal for a subset of "Bouquets", it seems that, within the confines of Reality, that is not to be, and who would better know the rules than my Lady Poohbah, the author of so many - and such clever - Posts. Accept then, if you will, this latest (but perhaps not last) bouquet of thanks, and, meanwhile, I fain shall seek other means of devising Space and Time for "An Anthology of Phrase and Style. Ever your,......... Scribbler

Scribbler, if I may make so bold as to intrude, I have a suggestion. There is plenty of room in the AWADabila section of my idrive account,
http://www.idrive.com for your wonderfully appropriate "Anthology". Perhaps you would like to login there (username maxquordlepleen, password Crescent) and create a subfolder with whatever name you see fit. You could then post back here and invite all and sundry to post their contributions to that site. Or, you could politely remind me that I am a babbling loon, and suggest that my oral orifice would best be left unopened.

Warning: This mini-scene may be offensive to those afflicted w/ hyper-PC-itis ---
"Well, Jackie, Ol' Podnuh, I guess this is it. I've only got 5 bullets left for Ol' Betsy and we're outnumbered 20 to 1. Been nice knowing you. Wait a minute! Did you hear THAT! (A CLOUD OF DUST,THE THUNDER OF ROARING HOOFBEATS and FAMILIAR U.S. CAVALRY "CHARGE!!!!" BUGLE CALL!)emoticon.

"Max to the rescue!!!! The ever resourceful, ever accomodating Max, always there when needed! DONE!, my friend, and many thanks!" Scribbler turns away and is heard mumbling to himself, "Now if I can JUST figure out how to DO that .... but I'm learning these things. I THINK I CAN! I THINK I CAN! I THINK........"EXIT

Max, will you please stop trying to efface yourself?!
What a wonderful alternative! However, I will say here that, having just read dear Scribbler's gracious-as-always
refusal, I sent his idea to our beloved Anu. So we shall see. Bouquets of love to both of you.
