You did, dear James.
You appear to be so very angry. What a terrible pity...
Methinks that might have been a typo.

The Kumbapocalypse! :eeek:
I was once chatting online with someone who happened to be Jewish. I was trying to say "like" and you can well imagine my shock and embarrassment when I accidentally hit "K" instead of "L". :doh:
Yes, a person can be maggot-infested but not the other. lol lol
:rofl:
What?
I must admit that "faggot infested" didn't make too terribly much sense, but then it was a part of one of your rants, so as far as making sense was concerned the bar would be pretty low.
I must assume that these so-called "hippies" are more prevalent (and far more annoying) in your part of the country than they are in rural Michigan or even in the Cleveland suburbs (save perhaps for Cleveland Heights). Otherwise the vitriol which you expend on the subject would make not sense at all
Speaking of things that are annoying...
The office space next to me is under construction. And the work crew is listening to some kind of music with what I guess to be a tuba. And it doesn't seem to have any sort of rhythm. I'm about ready to put a couple warning shots through the wall.

Uh, who mentioned the second one? I think we can give that one a rest.
Laudanum is for Sherlock Holmes.
I think his drug of choice is cocaine. I'm a huge SH fan. ;0

No, from "The Sign Of Four";
Holmes: "It is cocaine," he said, "a seven-per-cent solution. Would you care to try it?"
Sherlock could be somewhat self-indulgent in his pastimes (decorating the walls of his rooms with bullet holes etc ) but he was unlikely to partake of a drug like laudanum that may have dulled the speed and accuracy of his deductive powers . It was, of course, very popular with more dreamy types like many of our Victorian literati who didn't have to worry about analysing the ash from different tobaccos or recognising bits of mud from different counties etc. etc. Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron, de Quincy were all partial to a wee dram. Seems opiates are more useful to a poet than to a consulting detective.
