...such as it is.  My 'umble disquisitions (mostly of the nature of "i
do not understand this reference", or "Slothrop good, Weissman bad",
not to mention the concluding invocation of Tolkien) came to my own
inbox in digest 4558

thanks for the acknowledgement

I confess to relishing the minutiae and am utterly utterly sure that we
have by no means plumbed the depths of 1,1, (somebody matching the
scream up with the Emergency Broadcast System on the AM radio was
awesome) but the musaceous smell from the kitchen was beckoning.

Speaking of minutiae, the strongest impression I got from the beginning
of M&D wasn't the snowballs, it was the grain in the wood on, oh, some
piece of furniture...and I am going to take a closer look at the grain
in the wood on the dining table in the Throsp maisonette (after I
finish my banana omelette)
