    Enjoy your time off; one hopes you come back rested and refreshed.

    Have a safe trip and lots of fun, then tell us all about it when you get back home.

    Thanks for that! 🙂 I admit I got so distracted by the UDP one–thinking they couldn’t be making a joke about anything as abstruse as the User Datagram Protocol in computer communications–that it wasn’t until I saw the next one about TCP, the Transmission Control Protocol in the same subject, that I went back and finished reading the first one. I suppose it is true, sometimes one can know too much! 😉

    The first real chuckle I got from the Euripedes joke.

    I’m trying to read these while my cat is bugging me to go Outside! …And I believe he has figured out the word when I spell it.

    Heheheh, having great fun with these. Thanks, GreenWyvern, these are fantastic.

    I just saw in the paper, better late than never, that Richard Matheson passed away Sunday. I remember him from his well-known work on Twilight Zone. For example, a couple families that steal a flying saucer to escape their world and head to The Third from the Sun. Then, with a much younger William Shatner, Nightmare at 20,000 feet

    CJ! If you see this, don’t come home! Not until after the 4th anyhow. You won’t like it! 🙁

    I tried to send you an email of congratulation on being a guest at Libertycon next summer, but it bounced from the edress quoted on your “Contact Info” page. Hope to see you in San Antonio.

    The description of the two thieves could’ve been a little more vague….

    One supposes if they’d stolen ducks from duck ponds, we’d soon hear the perpetrators were ducking authorities but the police would soon quack the case with such fake bills and such a web of deceit afoot.

    Yes, I’m terribly sorry :blush: about that last sentence. :duck:

      While CJ and Jane are goin’ fishing, you’re groan fishing? Well, I can’t carp and I won’t be coy: I agree with Fred Allen, “Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted.”

        I always heard the appropriate punishment was defenestration.
        (Not that it’s always easy: I went to one school where the only windows more than four feet off the ground were the window-wall in the chemistry lab (best view on campus) or the upstairs windows in to the cafeteria.)

          That sounds like the kind of defenestration I can live with. 😉

            It was a two-story ceiling. The floor was ta ground level. (I don’t remember the food quality – I was only in there for physics-exam postmortems.)

          In to the cafeteria, eh? Reverse defenestration, gustative alimentation. One would need to be careful when landing in the kitchen. Most interesting.

          I went to a uni where certain things might land one in the tender mercies of one’s associates, who might be moved to toss one in the fountain outside the student center. Meant in all kindness, however. 😀 One was reassured it was not a common occurrence, but one did see this happen once.
