Thanks for the understanding, the kind words, and a nice spike in visits to my blog from the link in yours! BillT, While I would love nothing more than to decorate the cieling and walls of my apartment with assorted aircraft and examples of weaponry from all ages, I fear that my roommate would take the opportunity of their proximity to test their effectiveness on yours truly which would be a less than optimal outcome :P . She prefers parrots and tropical decor (and refuses to believe that an old Caribbean fort motif complete with cannons would conform to those specifications) which I, as a Buffett aficionado, find agreeable. I agree, it would have the desired effects but I think I'll have to stick to offering them a shot of Jeremiah Weed whilst starting the classic Buffett tune "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw" as my defense against the serial proselytizers :lol: ! "<em>Makes a *great* conversation-ender at parties, too…</em>" Stop it! You're killing me :D ! John,

BillT,

“Makes a *great* conversation-ender at parties, too…”

Stop it! You’re killing me :D !

Serial proselytizers and Fuller Brush salesmen will become a mere memory (it works -- I haven't had an encyclopedia pusher on my doorstep for years).

You gave me an opportunity to expound and bloviate... which means you probably owe *other* people an apology! Heh. You’re right, no apology needed.
