Yep, used to do the Oz circuit on the same bill as the Lollipop Kids, and I tell you I licked them all.

I heard that the Lollipop Kids were pickled most of the time. I can't imagine what they tasted like.
Kind of like clipped beef on a stick.
I've heard of chipped beef but I don't have the delphic insight to ascertain what clipped beef might be.
Yeah, I think it would be easier to explain the physics of cepheid variables are than determine that composition of clipped beef.

Yeah I'm clueless about astronomy, so I've never been able to decipher any of those calculations.
Me too. We'd have perished a long time ago if the world was waiting for me to figger that stuff out.
When it comes to understanding physics and science, I have the worldliness and sophistication of a Patagonian shepherd.
Really? I had you guys figured as braniacs that would have rehashed all of the formulae while lathering in the morning.
Is a braniac the obsessive guy who threshed all that wheat? As usual I'm confused.

When I hear the word "braniac", I get a mental picture of a guy whose head is so huge that he constantly has to lean it on a headrest.
(Ummm...sorry about that one.

)ya think Wink really meant brainiac? A typo wouldn't be the hardest thing to imagine, even if it's out of character for him.

Ha! I totally missed that! And I even re-typed it! I guess I was just excited wink got this thread started up again.
(Which means I totally missed the wit in your post, Bob. Well played.)

I am generally typo free only when it is a one word game. When I am required to string together many words, my fingers seem to scatter about the keyboard with little minds of their own. And yes, I did mean brainiac. 
but hey - a typo creates an opportunity for some lurker like me to add their $.02
As a professional writer, I find typos to be as annoying as a buildup of creasote in the chimney...especially when they're my own.
Your own typos or your own chimneys? My mind isn't at it's clearest this morning.
I know the feeling...my mind in general tends to run as slow as treacle.
Maybe you could write an article on mind exercises.

Mind exercises are great, but the best source of clarity when my head is muddled in the morning is coffee.
