  • Re: WE HAVE A WINNER!

    NoStar:WR, I love that joke from ''The Undiscovered Country'' about reading Hamlet in the original Kilingon.

  • An Old Fashion Fray Contest from an old forgotten frayster

    Greetings to all who might remember me and to those who are saying ''who the hell is this guy.'' Without even thinking that it was mid-summer's night eve last night, I went to sleep thinking I should write a sonnet. (There is no time more enchanted for sonnet writing than June 20th.) I woke up at six and completed this sonnet in four hours. ...
