Kevin's Watch

qfufs slips in and out again wearing his newly discovered 'cloak of invisibility' ( I kid you not, I read something last week about some real progress having been made - granted down at a very small level - in this perhaps questionable field of study)

(Off topic again but ala Whitman, the thread is large and contains multitudes )

I recall from my Cape time that Worcester is Brit-like Wooster.
Also that the things in your dresser are "draws"...but you "drawer" pictures.

Sure, dude.
Your peccadillos are fine with me [as long as you keep your doodling ouy of my drawers]

I hear that parts of them were.

Nice try---you fooled a lot with the name of the twinkling star, but you ain't fooling no one with space balls jokes.

You're all mad - but then it's only to be expected, you're Americans! ( ).

Very nice. I think, Cord, you are ready for your Main[sequenc]ing.

Because they weren't crapped out by Wombats.

Enjoy.

I think I mentally mangled the pronunciation of every one of those words/names, except for "Blidworth". Thanks for the entertaining video, Hashi!
