You've read A Confederacy of Dunces???? One of the funniest novels I've ever read. Along with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Yes, I have read it. <Becomes aware that she has shifted into a Southern magnolia accent, smiles, and extracts a tattered copy from the more cluttered bookcase, pointing out that the author, John Kennedy Toole, won the Pulitzer Prize posthumously> I've read it several times! It's one of my all-time favorites. I've worn out, given away, and lost a number of copies.

It is an utterly hysterical novel. So perfectly New Orleans. Spent 7 years there in the same neighborhoods while going to school. I can hear it, see it, and smell it. <Fondly recalls the rum-soaked grease and oysters aroma of wet French Quarter streets and hotdog wagons> Although I try not to think about smelling Ignatius. And I'm very happy not to have picked up that particular accent.

FaLiLV is good? I'll have to read it.

Gorgeous traditional tomes like Clemente's Gray's . . . mmmmmmm! Latin and . . . and . . . whatever other language you want . . . but Latin and big and solid. . . and beautifully done . . .
Ooooh!

You're killing me here, Peggy, really. I love the turn this thread has taken, I truly do. Justice. Excellent job, ladies all.

I've read it three times. I had two copies but apparently something happened to them. I'll have to try to find another. Would you like Ignatius better if he wore a cotton jersey? Last time I read it I kept going around saying, "My valve! My valve is acting up!" Nobody had any idea what I meant.

FaLiLV is probably only good if you can identify with mind altering nature of the story. Not that I ever could.

Exactly. There simply wouldn't be room.

No, you're right. Either they have it, or they don't . . . it slips too easily from deliciously warm and inviting to . . . oh, dear! . . . inviting bacterial overgrowth.

Having spent quite some time perusing the photography . . . <she smiles shyly> . . . on the LLBean and Eddie Bauer websites . . . to admire their fine 100% cotton, prelaundered, high-rumple-potential products and . . . and yes, cosy gray wool socks . . . <trying to be accommodating to the traditional spellers with that "cosy," as well as to y'all in the frozen north--did you notice?> . . . and expecting to find similar and possibly even better delights at Cabela's . . . <they employ models> . . . her venture came to a skidding halt when she found THIS!!!

Now she understands why men are soooo confused! The poor things! They've been misled! It's no wonder they boast about their socks! What choice do they have?

They've become pheromone-impaired due to the atrocities of modern marketing!

Just look! Brace yourself, ladies, the horror is extreme!

Cabela's MTP Series Performance Underwear with Scent Eliminator

Rats! The [img] thing didn't work . . . clearly they are trying to hide these atrocities from the female population! . . . so go to www.cabelas.com and do a keyword search for IF-901469. Yes, that's a keyword search, not the other kind.

Isn't it awful! I feel . . . I feel . . . well, nearly in tears is what I feel. They're not only going to be boasting about their socks, but we're going to be forever deprived of . . . of . . .

. . . that special scent!

Edited to correct a misspelling! I was so upset!
