Post #145,374 by CRConrad 3/10/04 4:27:59 PM Reply	"People", the collective (i.e, plural) term... ...for humans? Idunno, even one of those seems a bit much for a hor'd'oeuvre, to me... Unless it's an infant, perhaps. Is that what you meant? Lovely idea for a snack -- whole grilled baby. I can hear the enthusiastic dinner guests now: "Mmmm, I'll have just one more delicious Toddler On A Spit, before I go on to the main course!" (So is Soylent Green the main course, then?)

Post #145,805 by CRConrad 3/12/04 7:31:52 AM Reply	No, of course I realised that if a frog won't croak, it... ...might be because it's been dissected. That was (since we are "dissecting frogs" already) what one part -- the "obvious" part, I thought; the one that was supposed to be noticed and thus distract the reader from the other, "subtler" one -- of my attempt meant: If a frog were three hundred years old, it could hardly be expected to croak any more. Because... ...it's croaked long ago, as it were. (I wonder if anyone caught my other, "semi-subtle", references...?) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.
