When were you a bow? I always thought of you as more of an arrow. (not a
straight arrow, but I digress)

I always liked the Raven (though heavens
knows I was clueless to what "nepenthe", "seraphim", "Gilead", and "Aideen" were
at the time).  So I sat here just now talking to no one but myself and gave
quite a dramatic reading of it to the ether (which is the way Poe would have it,
I suppose).  Neatly illustrated with Lego.  Now how about "The Telltale Heart"
(or "The Tattletale Heart" as I transmogrified the title as a boy)?  I can hear
my mother's Peter Lorresque rendition in my mind.  :-)

I can see "The Cask of Amontillado" as being pretty easy to do in a very nice
way, ne?

You mispronunced that (if I wanted to type mispronOunced, you'd pronounce it
correctly).  Anyway, I always bow after applause.

And yes, I have a bent arrow, but that is really not a subject for discussion on
Lugnet!!!
