Oops! ...see, Faldage, you have to be careful who you share your patooties with.

Well, as long as the story is out, we might as well let folks in on the jingle that seems to follow your reputation around, ol' Faldage ol' pal!

"One patootie,
Two patootie,
Three patootie, four!

Five patootie,
Six patootie,
Seven patootie, MORE!!"

makes me proud to know ya, it does

""Somebody's diggin'my patooties,
Tramplin' on-n my vine!
Got that worried feelin'
Restin on my min'"


Dash it all, old chap - one is terribly short of emoticons hereabouts, isn;t one - what?

did I say Thursday was the deadline? I meant Tuesday. yes, tomorrow, Dec. 17. and yes, I am arbitrarily changing it for reasons that will become abundantly clear. (and will have the added benefit of ending this turkey before Christmas.) so if you've been waffling with your def'n, make it final and get it in now.

yours in arbitrary capriciousness,

In reply to:

How can you "arbitrarily" change somethig for clear reasons?

I better go look up arbitrary to see whether there's some deep-hidden meaning I didn't know...

I see my understanding of the word arbitrary is based on the "b" definition of #3 in MW:

" b : existing or coming about seemingly at random or by chance or as a capricious and unreasonable act of will"

...and dear tsuwm's use of the word is #1a. Shoulda known.
