simpleton. Similarly with the Shakespeare quote "let's
kill all the lawyers"; the playwright put this seemingly
sensible sentiment in the mouth of an unsympathetic
ruffian character.
But of course.... one can't put sensible (but somewhat radical) words
into the mouth of the sympathetic character, lest it turn people against
that character... put it in the mouth of the ruffian, and people say, oh
that actually makes sense (despite the person saying it)... Like the
fool who can tell truth to the king that would be ignored in the mouth of
the advisor....
Yes - the claim has been made (I don't know of any
verifiable credible info on this) that the fool was
one of the more influential figures in a royal court
because of being allowed to air inconvenient truths.
... Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.
The Internet says that Aristotle said that. Or was
it Abraham Lincoln? Somebody, anyway.
Exactly... ;)
As I wrote (actually) - plagiarism is pawning off
someone else's fiction as one's own; criticism is
pawning of one's own fiction as someone else's.
But it would be a start. At Lydia's I tried to stay out
of it, sous-ing (not sousing as I originally wrote) only,
but the occasional something obtruded, and I ended up
being part of the problem.
Particularly your birthday "cake"... ;) But that was a major hit... :)
It was several pounds' worth of part of the problem.
It made a good breakfast the next morning (or was it the morning
after)... (G)
I hope it didn't last too much longer than that,
otherwise the groaning board might have ended up
feeding the groaning bored.
I wonder if there is any home delivery of milk in the
United States today. Funny that there are generalized
grocery deliveries and restaurant food deliveries.
Possibly it's that profitable volume can be achieved
by those services, but something specific like milk,
not so, especially with a deemphasis on liquid dairy
products in the typical diet.
There could be still some dairies that home deliver... I've not
researched it much even locally any more... But milk could certainly be
part of the home delivered grocery order.... :)
So poking around for Boston I found several dairies
that deliver, but all have expanded their offerings to
general groceries and/or gone to once- to twice-a-week
deliveries to an address.
> ML> And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven
A great big wave came and washed me overboard
And as I sank, and I hollered, "Someone save me"
That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord
;) (F&S?)
It's from Guys and Dolls, and I think Frank Loesser
wrote those lyrics, which continue "Sit down, sit down,
sit down / Sit down, you're rocking the boat!"
OK... context helps.... There's a similar line directed at a John Adams character in a musical about the American Revolution days, as well...
Guys & Dolls is a pretty old show and no doubt informed
that, which I'm guessing is 1776, despite its name a
quite younger show?
Which is where the message ended.... I can guess at the punchline, though.... something to do with all the people he scared straight...?
Or is it a hotel for all cabbies... (G)
... little cottage that is barely big enough for my wife (when
she arrives) and me? St. Peter smiles and replies, when you were preaching your sermons, all the people sere sleeping. When that
guy was driving his cab, all the people were praying.
Close enough to my first guess.... ;)
Don't blame yourself, my son did the same (said some
woman or another).
Which helps solve one question - there is a gatekeeper
somewhere in the system, but it's not a line limit like
I had suspected, or rather it might be a 200-line limit
not counting line feeds. Or it could be a character
limit. Anyhow, I constructed that message to push the
envelope, as it were, as well as to make it difficult
to reply to the joke part of the message.
It's not always a hard and fast limit, though it might be at Doc's...
the message was the same (with only that last parenthesis sometimes
missing) at every place I went, whether I read it online or in my packet after downloading... I've sent and received longer messages, both lines-
and characters-wise, from Tiny's in the ILink Chat echo....
What was the time frame for that?

M's notes: the seasonings are dubious; the wine might want to be
reduced by half before adding; and why would anyone want to hunt
a crockpot, anyway?
MMMMM
