Scout, sometimes living in a megalopolis can have strange effects on the
mind and understanding and behaviour. Being aware of this, there is much
those of us far from the madding crowd can indeed accept from you. But
please, for your own health and sanity, not to mention those young minds
for whom you are responsible, see your fantasy for what it truly is--Capt
Neal just CAN'T BE Bobsprit!

How so? The Cowardly Lion is one of the most complex characters in

William Jennings Bryan was a right-winged, opinionated, blustering

Explain your use of "monogram". You forgot to read the introduction or
do
you really believe that civility walks hand in hand with "not mincing

Simply this: CN is very likely a darker personna of some regular poster
here who, having earned the respect of the group, does not feel free to
expose his troglodytic tenets under that same name.

Doug,
how did you come to have such an extensive background in literature?

But aren't you mixing your metaphorical characters a bit too freely? I
mean, Cyrano ne'er tilted any windbagmills no matter slow or fine they
grind.

DE GUICHE (who has controlled himself--smiling):
Have you read 'Don Quixote'?

CYRANO:
I have!
And doff my hat at th' mad knight-errant's name.

DE GUICHE:
I counsel you to study. . .

A PORTER (appearing at back):
My lord's chair!

DE GUICHE:
. . .The windmill chapter!

CYRANO (bowing):
Chapter the Thirteenth.

DE GUICHE:
For when one tilts 'gainst windmills--it may chance. . .

CYRANO:
Tilt I 'gainst those who change with every breeze?

DE GUICHE:
. . .That windmill sails may sweep you with their arm
Down--in the mire!. . .

CYRANO:
Or upward--to the stars!


I remembered that part... one of my favorite pieces of literature... BTW
aren't you afraid of invoking the Crapton's ire, quoting something that's
not only "Theatah" but so blatantly French?

Observe the above dialogue. Cyrano was not tilting at windmills, nor was
he planning to. He was pointing oout De Guiche's error in assuming that
Don Quixote's madness would inevitably lead to failure & humiliation... a
veiled threat against Cyrano.

DSK

well, don't let your mind drift like that again...~shudder~
