Dear Mario, I would've written this letter on Sat. but my poodle died, her name was Lucille, I'm sure you know the song, it's your life-story, huh? Toledo bars suck...! It's Sunday now, the preacher's rant on "Thou shalt not bear false witness" reminded me you should quit blaming Merv/Cornel for that over-extended Macacas exclamation....dude, as Shaggy goes, "dat wuz me!" http://lists.goanet.org/htdig.cgi/goanet-goanet.org/2007-October/063791.html Dear grampa, the reason was not gramma', but dyslexia - too many MBAs read the exclamation as a Spansh 'i' upside down, if too close...oh whaddever! Speaking of which, as a so-called 'injun-eer' from Ann Arbor, when are you ever going to learn the difference between 'gage' and 'gauge', and 'trash' and 'thrash'?? Or, given the unfounded rumours of your early demise (heavenly harps suit you), does your MBA merely serve to confirm "Mario Boro Asa"? I do apologise for Gabe - Toledo's no rust-bucket, better known for it's wide lawns and narrow minds! FR. P.S. You should sit up straight and not cross your legs when replying. And "tight kashti" is no reply! ....................................... Mario Goveia's response inter alia to Mervyn Lobo: "I noticed that your post and Cornel's had a space between the last letter and the exclamation mark, which I took to be a typo, so I deleted the space in my response because the extraneous space looked silly. > Since both you and Cornel had posted comments under the subject Macacas ! I cannot understand how you could say, as you have done above, "This is the first time I have seen anyone use an exclamation mark with Macacas." > Because you and Cornel had used Macacas ! as your subject, complete with exclamation mark, I left it in so that others could make the connection with the post I was responding to". > --------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Send a smile, make someone laugh, have some fun!
