Whoa...well, maybe. Perhaps that's exactly what they'd say. "Oh, look, dear, Kiwi Gnus!" "Well, yes, pet, but isn't that rather more for our Aotearoan friends? Not Our Sort of Thing, you know." (Sighing) "Yes, I suppose you're right. Still, it seemed quite nice. I might have whipped you up a spot of it on Sundays." But I think it's no less potentially misunderstood than September or Red ("Comrade! How goes the People's glorious newsreading struggle? Still on the five-year plan?"), and I like those, too. C'mon, admit it. And, furthermore, I submit to you, "Kiwi! Kiwi! Kiwi!" The nonsense rests. I know I'm running behind the list's pace here, but, man, 'Aotearoan,' I spent half today just trying to pronounce that. Hey! (squints accusingly) I bet you got that off Janet Frame, didn't you? Look, I live for Faulkner, but you don't see me using...well...well, I can't even think of a good one, see! (Great, what have _I_ just demonstrated?...) Sigh--I almost promise the next mail I send to the list will be on-topic, actual content--unless, of course, someone else continues this foolery... Yours in shame, -- Ed Donovan edonovan@world.std.com
