Course he's got teeth, Bill. So have I. I spend a lot of time gnashing them, especially at the New Statesman.

It's easy. Just hold one set in each hand, and rub them together.

Yes. Several. Some are home-grown.

You can be had up for ageism, you know.

Brian also scored in the Washington Post today, as did Frank Osen.

Yes - but they rewrote my entry, and in such a way as to destroy the sense! I thought only the Staggers did that.

No, Pat will do that from time to time. Most of the time her tweaks are harmless, or even helpful, but one or two of her changes to "fix" the meter of my limericks have not struck me as improvements.
