Excellent work, but I would have given you extra points if you had titled your blog posting "Burning Mike Handel at both ends"...

Good thing you dont edit on WQ, Prof. Roe! Or do you?

And Jon Awbrey gave this link and he didnt notice either.

I'm thinking about editing on WQ as "Quillercastingcouch." My main function being to audition Baxter socks, who are easily detectable by their predilection to correct poetry quotes. The purpose being to see if they can play WR regulars, without screwing up. So far, not doing so well, but then you never know when you'll run across a gem.

A fascinating technique that I must copy. When youre caught with your pants (in the US sense and still more the British sense) down use lots of irrelevances and smoke and mirrors to hide the fact. Milton of course plays the part of the WR regular to perfection. Without screwing up? If he did that he wouldn't be such a convincing WR regular.
