Dear Mark, and List;
I have been oozing over with bliss since I have been seeing the "wanta
be" process and the "reality is reality" post. Ol' Arley from the TV
show "MAIL CALL" uses a few terms that seems to fit...Maybe we could
start up a "Meteorite Mail Call" to ferret out the "grabasstically
organized statements" or "bolognariffic-huey" spread by some among us
who are greater than life...and themselves....
Alright Recruit, drop that metal detector, that is not a tektite, its a
melted beer bottle stupid! No you can't name that meteorite before its
time! Now git away from that keyboard, maggot!
Best,
Dave F.
