<< AND* you entirely missed my clear literary reference to one of the most
favorite, endearing and well known expressions of the only son of the Patron
of this list, Bx. Homer of Pressboard Estates (the father, not the son). >>
sorry, never watch the Simpsons, patron or no
anyway I wasn't responding to your original "ma frere" but the corrective of
"ma pere": thought I might kill both birds with one stone.
the original, btw, struck me as one of your well-known feats of dialectical
legerdemain: crockers being crockers if you know what I mean ;-)
ciao for now
