It's deception. Steve will be lethargic by the time the game starts, then Gorn The Graceful will appear, moving with dazzling speed and decisive power.

Or something like that.

Lethargic? Probably in the final stages of rigor mortis Hoping they both are able to get over this
bump in the road patiently and efficiently.

He may be lethargic but I'm cold blooded. Fortunately it's headed for the mid seventies today. Unfortunately that means a little yardwork.

I think I'll use the vanilla stock map for the first turn and if no error change to chemkid's art for the second turn test.

I think the progress should be labeled glacial speed.

Indeed. The photographer does not wear any uniform. Hence I was referring to the uniforms worn by the marching troopers.

A few days ago, I heard that there was a bill in the Georgia General Assembly to make "upskirting" a crime. The bill was introduced in response to a Georgia Court of Appeals decision that the current law that would seem to apply doesn't specifically prohibit the practice. I'm not sure what the status of the bill is today, but I don't think it's been signed into law by the governor yet.

I don't think he's upskirting, though. Upskirting is a surreptitious act in which the perpetrator tries not to be noticed or caught red-handed. But if he is upskirting, he's a serial upskirter .... and no doubt has the red hand of chronic self abuse.

Ah. I see. You can forgive my overlooking the obvious solution that you had, in fact, figured it out. You see, Ormster old chap, we don't hear so much about the good ole "Dry Swedish wit" or sense of humor. Come to think of it, I'd be hard pressed to characterize Swedish (or other Scandinavian) humor at all. Care to enlighten?

I've heard that Scandinavian wit is dark and morbid. That explains a lot.

Whereas, 'dry English' wit is redundant.

I think this is mostly a language issue. Not all that many out in the big world can Swedish hence they do not understand Swedish humour. Swedes, on the other hand, do usually understand English hence we do enjoy the English humour and their dry wit. At the same time we are terrible with Italian language and therefore we do not get Italian humour.

John Cleese, for example, is a major star in Sweden and I actually think he might be more popular here than in Britain.

I wonder if anyone, even Gorns, understands Gornish humour?

I am sure I misspell many words. And that I do so often. Here, however, I disagree. Mostly because I try to use British English rather than American English.

With that said I am glad when someone is nice and tell me of my mistakes.

Right, so he's to blame for the shoddy grammar - can I get - missing out U's without so much as a hello and excuse me, and deciding that I could care less was in an way shape or form a sensible thing to say? [starts rocking back and forth and dribbling from the corner of mouth]

Rex Stout's detective Nero Wolfe was tearing pages out of his newly purchased Webster's new edition and throwing them into the fireplace to burn when his assistant Archie came in to the room.

Archie said "I knew you were going to burn it when you bought it, because you did not buy it in leather."

I believe the grievance was indicating it was acceptable to use "like" and "as" interchangeably

I am reminded of Sam Watkins, 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment, who was told that there was no such word as "cooter" in Webster's Dictionary.

To which, Watkins replied: "I have as much right to make a dictionary as Mr. Webster."
