mav, dear, you know we have always told you, the more, the merrier..
but don't let Jackie catch me with you! she is so protective of all her men, and she claims every man as her own--no doubt to protect them from the likes of me-- men die for me!

so which side of the street is it, dag nabbit, another man that needs directions to get to it. ahhhhh ha, so that's what Jackie meant last year when she said she had it on good authority that mav *never arrived anywhere too quickly. It wasn't the veiled compliment we all thought it was. It was actually a sad, sad commentary on the fact that he didn't know how to get there, and a second time was out of the question.

Oh, bel, I am howling! C'mon, I'll crawl into the gutter with you, we'll wave a signal flag at mav, and then if he still takes a long time CENSORED OUTing, we'll give him some really good directions, eh?

You girls are making too much noise in here. Here I was, peacefully enjoying a little afterglow and, PLOP, then PLOP... two more in the gutter with me. Hey, Jackie, I thought you said you don't share . Trying to make me jealous? Move over, Bing cherie, we have company.

Ladies, in present circumstances, I have no intention of joining either of you in the gutter. I don't like the look of that water. Goodness only knows what's floating about in there.

Why? what would she do with it if she had it? what do you do with it? is this some other new fetish?
Have i missed something? hanging out with guys and all their sheep-- thinking a little lambakins was at once a lawn mower and wool provide [wide eyed innocence icon here]-- only to find there was a reason the sheep were nervous... and meanwhile.. all you gals has something going on with a goat?

Huh? i got counting to 4, and 69 times tables.. but i don't get..the word "motel", and point out what that spells backwards?
is it suppose to make sense? LETOM--let'om? (it should be Let'em?) and it seems to me, if Mav and bel are getting a room, it had better be a suite.. at last count, Jackie, connie and i were planning to be there too..(did you want to be invited too, Kieva? will you tell us the secret of letom?)and are we bringing Jackie's goat? what will we do with it? will we have problems? some places are soo particular who they let in.

well, since we're talking about Jackie, acolyte of the sainted Anu, I feel constrained to make the supreme effort:
she is irredeemable, irreclaimable, irretrievable, and thoroughly depraved [WO'N: debauched]; she has been, in two words, corrupted (and) vitiated. and the foremost of all these can be abbreviated irred, which even suggests that she hardly don't blush no more.

As she has now reached the irreducible level, a poem [abbreviated] may illustrate the difficulty of her rising again:
A whale of great porosity / and small specific gravity,
Dived down with much velocity / beneath the sea's concavity.
But soon the weight of water / squeezed in his large immensity,
Which varied -- as it ought to -- / Inversely as his density.
It would have moved to pity / an Ogre or a Hessian,
To see poor Spermaceti / thus suffering compression.
At length old million-pounder, / low on a bed of coral,
Gave his last dying flounder, / whereto I pen this moral,
O, let this tale dramatic, / anent the whale Norwegian
And pressure hydrostatic, / warn you, my young collegian,
That down-compelling forces / increase as you get deeper;
The lower down your course is, / the upward path's the steeper.

A whale I am, I admit;
The name is a dismaying fit;
But I ain't no Norwegian,
My older collegian--
Now swishing my skirts, I will git.

First we descend to the gutter, then to battling limericks! What has this distinguished company come to?
Well, on second thought, I'm fond of a good laugh and it certainly beats some of our other carryings on. Go to it all ye poetasters!

It is a rare and marvelous thing to be a latinate criticaster.
But I, unfortunately, am no unerring polylingual.
