More IVing WAMBAM

[Mark Kohut]

First. WAMBAM might just be onomonopeaic or alliterative about a cartoon kind of name---Slam Bam--- kind of movement with no real connection to the phrase I posted. My first inclination. 

But, we love possible connective tissue thoroughness here, speaking for myself, of course, kemosabe, so I throw it out. Anyone want to put their honky ass out there with a 'reading"? And have another plister hand it back to them? Non-honkies especially urged to participate. 

Rich sees it as stereotypical, you?

After another post, I'll risk another stupid linking, get my ass handed to me,  but we got some chapter-climaxing stuff to discuss, probably argue about, real soon, I think.
