Well, actually, this sounds like a job for . . . the NUN-POLICEMAN.

And I also offer "unproprietal," meaning any wine that doesn't belong to a group of patented, proprietary varietals. As in:

this is Monsanto's synthetic zinfandel, but I think you'll find it tastes remarkably unproprietal.

Very creepy wine from the Motley Cru, with notes of old clothes, burnt rubber, hash marks, and psilomotorcycles.

The link malfunctioned twice in two different ways, but I got the drift from my browser input line.

Keep 'em coming.

It reminds me of this story, by Roy Blunt,

" 'ey"
"EEEEEEEE!"
"I..."
"Oh, you."

Which is all very well and good. But if you wrote it like this:

" 'ey"
"Ee!"
"I..." "O,
Yu!"


each line would be DUOLITERAL!

Can you get it to be hyp-duoliteral? No? Well, we're still looking for Moby Dick then.

I'm not sure Cymrucontinental will work on the BBC.

Law and Order rules even in the country of the yurt. Why? You are way ahead of me. The Yurt-policeman stomps about doing his bit, that's why.

'A kind of Yugoideal Shakespearean vacation spot is found on the seacoast of Bohemia not very far from Trieste.'
