How clever!  Does this refer to Doug's slipperiness or his propensity to
seek the shape of his container?

How recursive!  I notice that you deleted Doug's remarks.  Aren't you 
concerned that DearOldDoug will admonish you to retain context?

I would've thought that most of those articles would have expired
before the dam burst.

Yes, indeed, Petey, I'm very grateful to Muriel for taking it upon herself
to stand up for me in my hour(s) of silence, as well as her many other
kindnesses.

Are you sure about that?  Perhaps you should have Matheson confirm your
claim before presenting it in public. You wouldn't want to be accused
"going off half-cocked" now, would you?

Believe it or not, Peter, I'm willing to call a short truce and ask about
your nephew.  Is all that surgery behind him?  What's his prognosis?  I
hope it's good.

Now back to our pie-throwing contest... :-)

By my standards, you're a platypus: you're always laying eggs! :-)

Alleged but not proven.  So when are you going to drop _your_
foolishness and discuss issues?
