I remember Ron! He was quite a character. And I remember festoon.

Was it he, or Bob Flandrena, that gave us the holiday poetical and phonetical treat:

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Tweeze Denied Beef Workers Isthmus

(Say it out loud fast, with a pause in the middle of "Workers&q= uot;, to get it).

I think I have it on paper somewhere, but no soft copy.
