Listen up, you miserable weasel.  In the US, there have been several
different editions of the KT discs issued.  Some have lyrics, some don't.
I was merely curious to see if TSW had already become a cheapo lyric-less
disc.  So lighten up.

Nothing personal, but EVERYBODY who wanders in here asks the same
question.  I'm allowed to be a little dismayed when it pops up again,
anticipating the flood of argument it will engender.  It's not your fault,
and I indeed took time to point that out, but you mistakenly interpreted it
as:

><Wads of strange stuff (constituting roughly 10 times more verbal diarrhea

Pure nonsense, dear lad.  Adjust your language parser.

>I already know that.  Somebody less uptight answered.

Somebody less uptight than ME?  A biological impossibility, pal o' mine.

I am not the resident curmudgeon; see below.

More than you could possibly imagine.  Try singing the lyrics to Wuthering
Heights over the Madonna song "Justify My Love."  Hours o' fun!

No.  It means duct tape.  (ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION PATRICK!?!??!)

Neil, you're a hip dude.  I'd welcome any suggestions of an official
title.  Certainly, I don't want to step on our favorite numinous
curmudgeon's toes.  Although actually the days of IED's _serious_
curmudgeoness appear to have passed.  I strongly urge everyone who can to
read the early love-hounds archives, back in the days of wicinski and
hoffman.  Now there was some INTENSE fun for those with the stomach.

>I too liked Jon's very funny "explanation" about GAFFA.

Thank you.  That's not a tear on my cheek, by the way, it's just some
phenobarbitol-spiked herbal tea that splashed.

>Perhaps we should devote a week or so of this list to the posting

I thought I had the monopoly on wildly inaccurate information.  But you
can certainly take a stab at it, if you like.

What's all this I've heard about Never For Ever being a carefully veiled
retelling of The Wizard Of Oz, anyway?

Follow the yellow brick road, in out, in out...
