(to bring back to topic)

Scruffy! My front desk sent me a text message saying that a package has arrived for me. I'm pretty freaking sure that it's the signed CD from ya.

So a BILLION thanks in advance!!! And many more once I get back on campus and pick it up!!

Sounds good. I got whatever I needed to say out. And yah I'll tone it down...and most of those posts were during the phase of the 5days after I got it so I've settled down.

People can use language much more freely now than when I was a lad in elementary school. One day my teacher, Miss Crabtree (she would later teach the kids of <i>The Little Rascals</i> / <i>Our Gang</i> as well), came into our one-room school to be shocked by an otherwise well-washed blackboard which was decorated with a copy of the rudest synonym for copulation in the English language.

She was not stupid and so went on to figure out I was the culprit, and awarded me a punishment typical of that era: I was to stay after class that day and cover the blackboard with as many copies as it took of a sentence which expressed contrition for what I had done.

I did as I was told and the next morning Miss Crabtree exhibited my laborious work as a caution to each and every student of my class, who beheld a blackboard filled with over 170 copies of a sentence reading:<blockquote><i>I will never again write FUCK on the blackboard!</i></blockquote>If I upset you by telling a story this old, I will aggravate the situation by reminding you of one even older. This being the Easter season, behold an excerpt from a film about your namesake, <i>Life of Brian</i>.

I always aspire to keep a civil tongue in my head - even if it can't be Alizée's. Maybe writing that sentence 170 or more times would often be appropriate punishment here!

Doc, your profile says you're 54, not 84.

...you're only as old as you feel. And getting this CD has got to make you feel much younger today.

Hahaa, I was just messing man, no need to apologize!

But thanks! Scruffy, I don't know if I can express this enough, but thanks!
One of the most beautiful emails I've ever gotten.

Young man, I hope you acquire some more compassion long before you achieve my venerable age! Don't you realize that not a few people who reach 84 often imagine they are three decades younger - or even still in Miss Crabtree's class, and caught looking at the underwear ads in the new Sears catalog?

I missed it? D'OH!
