Sit on your paper, Nilly.

The British will table it. In the meanwhile, Americans will work on it, and Germans will examine it, and the French and Italians will reflect on it.

And the Jamaicans will use it to roll joints.

How is that being graded, then?

Very highly -- we only use the good grade stuff.

Very highly

These rejoinders write themselves.

Happy day...foreign toasters! You'll love the beginning. I do.(duh!) Bet they don't teach that in English class...duh. I mean "It's so obvious." Poor Adena. Sniff.

Highly grading the good grade stuff to get high. It's like a palindrome, only with a whole sentence and the words, not the letters.

[Edit: erika, I will definitely report once I get a chance to watch. And, no, "duh" and the like I never got from school, only from tv. It's educational!]

Yeah, it's so weird to see Nilly at this hour. What time is it there? Four or five in the morning?

Thanks, Nilly. I thought for a moment that erikaj had gone off into Surreal-ville, behind one of ita's term papers.

H:LOTS. David Simons on a Baltimore frenzy. Go, David! Get yer Baltimore on!

P-C, it's not *that* late yet! It's almost 1am.

I'm two-thirds of the way in writing my first babbly draft of the first answer (out of two required). The real trick, with me, is keep all the meaning, cut the words to only a third of the original length, and still keep it readable. I think I'll write down the draft of the second answer before going to editing. Or falling asleep over the keyboard, whichever happens first.

[Edit: the real trick with me, apparently, is using the words that mean what I want to say, not the opposite. I wonder what I'll think about what I'm writing in the other window, when I re-read it in the morning, if I can't even post properly with simple words]
