There's a character in that book, Rawdon Crawley, who reminds me of Herring and "Reggie." Pretty sad if reading a good piece of literature makes you think of NG characters. Eisboch There's nothing unusual about recalling the "attributes" of characters in literature and applying them to actual people you might encounter. There are several posters here who exhibit some of the worst attributes of Dickens' villains. As an example, "Reggie" reminds me most of Dickens' Uriah Heep from David Copperfield. A brief descriptor from Wiki: "The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and general insincerity." Reggie. Funny you should be on this track... Wife & I just stopped in for a quick bite after returning from a downtown camera store. I picked up a weekly free publication called 'The Morning Coffee' which has short articles and jokes, quizzes etc to read. This entry from the "Lighter Side" section instantly reminded me of a poster here. See if you can guess... : "Some minds are like concrete... all mixed up and permanently set" Easy. That's WAFA. No doubt about it. Is that the new name for our resident 'concrete expert'? You don't read very well, dummy. Try again. |
