"Out House Story"...
''But Denny, editors are our FRIENDS...'' ;) I once knew a girl named MariaWho suffered a case of dysuria.There she'd sit on the potEvery chance that she got,And seek to discharge her urea. ------------------------------------------------------------- Well, maybe I can't think of a limerick defining a D-word just now, but my parody gene's been ...

Of course...
...the above isn't mean to define a D-word. I'll have to think about that, if I have time. Quite a challenge by Denny, which Denny passed (no pun intended!) with flying colors. wr ()()

Shades of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"...
Hi guys, NoStar informed me of his Centurion status and his upcoming wedding in an e-mail last night. Congratulations all around! Of course, whenever one or both of you TAPs start congratulating each other on how peerless you are, I get cheerfully reminded, if not of a famous Dr. Seuss book, then of a famous Charlie Daniels song: When the ...

''Voltaire was a critic, calling emperors naked while sitting in his underwear.'' -- God I only remember this much from an anecdote passed on by Reader's Digest: Someone, somewhere (that's what I forget), was addressing an audience and got the beginning of this input from an audience member: ''As a budding critic...''

Re: In that same vane (or vein, or both)...
This OPP is for both denny (with thanks) and NoStar, and irresistibly came to mind: the Bible as Literature 101, if you will. (John 3:6 ASV) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.(John 3:7 ASV) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.(John 3:8 ASV) The wind bloweth where it will, ...

Not everything you steal is poetry.
You've been caught stealing several essays and commentaries, as well. From authors like the Marine Montfort found, or like Paul Cantor, Victor Hanson, and Marvin Perry.

He's been nailed for plagiarizing TWICE in as many weeks
over on P-fray. A few weeks ago, he stole material from Paul Cantor, and then just this last week from Meghan O'Rourke.
