Sorry, guys, but I haven't changed my mind. Most of the stuff on this thread would barely have made it into the high school paper. There was a time when Drills and Amusements was not only amusing - but good. Someone would come up with an idea - and usually post a poem or two - and the emphasis was exactly the same as the Deep Drills section. Not just to post a poem, but to post the best, and usually funniest, poem possible. We still have some threads like that, but more and more often this Board is simply used as an excuse to post a poem, and then come up with a theme as an afterthought (not this case, Allen - but many others - you actually had a theme and no poem) and it becomes more and more of a Vanity Board. And occasionally I say something.

So - getting back to the Drills part of it, I'll give Ralph a D, Eric a D- (maybe "although it wasn't super-dooper" or something with "stupor" would help), and Allen a gentleman's C.
