I have a copy of the 1931 book, "Boners," the title of which seems naughty these days. Its illustrations were Dr Seuss's first major gig.

Geoff, when we visited you in Oregon I think we saw that book of yours, right?

Don't do the recall if you want to live! I found this headline on line:

303 Deaths Connected to GM Recall

Yes, Kalleh, you and Shufitz saw my copy of "Boners."

That is a great headline, Geoff! One wonders where their editors were. Heck, if I even think about ending a sentence with a preposition, mine are down my neck!

You all might have to be careful what you write if this goes through.

It worked with Champagne, so why not parmesan? Oh, and all that Greek yogurt - if the Greeks had a nickle for every cup of the stuff sold in the US, they'd be out of debt.

Greek yogurt is really a fad now, isn't it? For what it's worth, I cannot stand the smell of that Chobani stuff, though Shu loves it!

Proof, I couldn't link to your article without signing up for something.

Sorry - I thought I might be doing something wrong.

BTW, who does run the internet? Wink

The secret world government. I thought everybody knew that.

I've known it since a former colleague informed me of it on the same day that he told me about their coded messages in the songs of Rhianna.

And that wasn't a joke - it was a real conversation.

Which makes it an oxymoron: a secret known to everyone.

That, I was reliably informed, is the beauty of it. Everybody knows but nobody (apart from the few who are dismissed as conspiracy nuts) believes.
