Just remember, gentlemen---the original PA club settles the Pres / VP position with a fist fight. The one too scared to throw a punch gets to be Treasurer . . .

Did you read "Timequake", and he completely unraveled Kilgore Trout mystery?

GS: Yes. Clarkston has a ROMEO Club (retired old men eating out).
I missed a recent lunch and pontoon ride on Lake Lanier by one of the wealthy CHS graduates.

"Cat's Cradle", the first Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. novel I ever read; way back in high school while you guys were decompressing from Nam.
Actually, I was rambling a bit - the Alan Arkin effect.

BT: Here you are. I am still discussing my pseudonym on your pseudonym article and your are talking about Cats Cradles on GS serious article.
You left Stan going on about something on your Sky is Falling Greek article.

The novel "Cat's cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut. In this novel he describes peasant as:
"A pissant is somebody who thinks he's so damn smart, he can never keep his mouth shut. No matter what anybody says, he's got to argue with it. You say why you like something, and, by God, he'll tell you why you're wrong to like it. A pissant does his best to make you feel like a boob all the time. No matter what you say, he knows better." english.stackexchange.com And just to think that Stan thought I did not follow up on his esoteric post about Kurt Vonnegut.

Cursing in front of the kids.
My uncle from Italy was a very volitile and excitable man but then I repeat myself. When he lost his temper he would go on an Italian rant which ended with paio di scarpe. As a kid, I immediately took it up as a great way to curse in Italian without anyone including me being able to know what I was saying. It wasn't until later when my mother told me what it meant that I realized that he did not want to cuss in front of the kids. www.collinsdictionary.com
