Larry, if this is true, you will have to let us all know how to post
messages from the great beyond. This is a talent worth learning, just in
case.

Gee, I'm shocked and amazed this post came from WebTV. All-caps
headlines and all.
If it's true, I'd like to shake Larry's hand for being able to post from
beyond the grave.

Of course, now Lord Larry can join the ranks of those writers who can say
"rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated".
Mind you, Mark Twain may have been a great writer, but Elsig knows how to
tell funnier stories. And long may that continue.

He'd have Hawkeye and Trapper trick Frank into whitewashing a fence (or
something similar)!

I checked in with CNN as well as the local news. Nothing at all said about what
I hope is a sick joke.

Was it our humming of the Luxembourg National Anthem that did
the trick?

That's ok. I just said "I told you so" before I read *this* post, so I guess

Nothing to do with Python. Larry was paraphrasing an exchange from his
own M*A*S*H era.
From "A Full Rich Day," A soldier from Luxembourg, believed to be dead,
but is actually recooperating in post-op, hears his country's national
anthem and, despite the fact that he's in partial traction, he gets out of
bed and marches to the sound of the music saluting all the while.
Everyone is astounded. then Hawkeye says, "I thought you said he was
dead," to which Trapper replies, "He got better,"

Thanks for the great classic show Larry but how do we know it's really
you? Or, since this must be old news to the regulars, how did the group
verify it was you?

Well, when he mentions he posts to this group to a reporter doing an

That to me was proof enough, but pretty much trusted the others before
me to know the facts. (Fairly new here, but not badly so.)

Well Damn Larry, at least share the fifth with a few friends.
Good to know you're not dead... Or even mostly dead... We'd hate to have to
take you to see Billy Crystal.

The preponderance of circumstantial evidence has been sufficient for us.

And besides that we really think it's him.
