I know y'all just been biting your fingernails in anticipation of a truly
outlandish explique (is that a word?) of the meta-symbolic significance of
Slowcombe (think waves- all scales, quantum to history, and, Mozart), Soames
(think Enoch and Max Beerbohm), Veevle (think 20 centuries of stoney sleep
and slouching toward...), O'Brian (think O'Brian, or, Monty Python, if you
prefer), and, that Boatswain Higgs (think thrice great, relative weight and
the second order arbitrary tyranny of the daddy of all editors)-

Well, hold that anticipation just a little longer, P-listers, it's in the
works, with maybe a little Kabala in the Pentagon (Gershom within/without
the house of Washington) thrown in- The above crew of five in the sixth rate
Frigate need a little elaboration, doncha think?

Does this seem like arranged sex? Well, we are a civilized list, after all.
Sit back and simmer for awhile...

Later,

jody
