Am I invisible? I just told y'all why it's called what it is, for cryin' out loud! I would steal an Harrumph, but it doesn't come close to expressing the depth of my grievance.

Somebody owes Anadage, Inc. a ®...but I don't see him around here anywhere. Is someone posting between us, Faldage?

SJM, I could be wrong (I know, this comes as a huge shock), but the question was asked before you supplied the answer. Otherwise I'd bump you to the top of the minced liver list. You know....

No, no, it wasn't your ramasseur I was harrumphing at. I answered his question without rancour. 'Twere dat Turnpikeist, whose T. Rex comment came after my reply to M. Fong.

Turnpikeist

>Turnpikeist: from Turnpikeism -- A compulsive/obsessive disorder peculiar to certain fishermen, where, upon catching a pickerel, Northern Pike, muskellunge, or other pikelike fish, they habitually turn the fish over several times before returning it to the water. Also see Turnpikeistic, Turnpikery.<

Yes, I'm afraid it's true. I, myself, have been known to turn a pike or pickerel over several times before returning the fish to the water....it's just that they have such, well, beautiful coloring...you just have to see it more than once, you know?...both sides.

I've looked at pike from all sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's pike illusions I recall
I really don't know pike at all

Given his colo(u)rful nature, perhaps shona should change his name to "Pikeonabike"
