Do I understand Correctly (that would be Ron D. F. Correctly, who
writes under the name DIG, as distinct from DIGIT which is what
is going to be given the goo gel contingent) that one cannot
simply post from eggloo anymore. I gather that the post has to
be gofonglored, i.e., you have to stick a frond into the glooge.
I just don't the rules, though. Frex can you stick a gondole
into a frog, or put grog in a flooden, or feed food to a gongler?
I guess I can't post from the ego log - that's what F. Nord says.

Richard, I'm glad you happened by. I had my DNA done resently, and
the results were rather unexpected. I'm in a bit of a genetic
imbroglio, with legal implication. You're just the fellow to know the
answer to this one. How should I put it? Without geting into the
past complexities that resulted in the present situation... Well, O.k.
tell me, what is it you get when you clone a doppelganger?

You really don't want to do that. If everything goes right you
might get a goden gopple lancer, but we're in the wrong universe
for things to go right. The recommended procedure is clone
yourself first and then go find your doppleganger. Cloning and
doppleganging are not commutative functors, you know. (Actually
the recommended procedure is not to do it at all, but that won't
stop small boys and scientists.)

Bwahaha!

I read this from Google, and all the sponsored links and related ads
are Chinese. It must have been triggered by the gofong heading, which
sounds vaguely Chinese.

I want to be Richard Harter when I grow up. Or at least steal his
muse.

You don't want to be growing down. The next thing you know, you
will end up growing feathers. Growing down is for the birds.

The more correct term for neotony is paedomorphosis, which would make
you a paedomorphisist, though I suggest that it may be unwise to
advertise this.

Given your dislike for Freudian ideas, you often heckled him in
Vienna, you are an old "hate Eros" crony. Grinding that axe oughta
launch you into conflict with Ray Martinez who loves atheists like
Freud.

Now that is quite unfair. I did not heckle Siggy, I merely asked
those questions that should have been asked by his enthusiasts.
As for his ideas, they were quite (my prose has become requited)
a source of themes for the theatre. For example, you may recall
that I put on a play called "Morning becomes Electra", a nice
little comedy about a rather shallow young lady named Electra
Hippleworth, who was firmly convinced that she looked her best in
the morning.

As for the unspeakable Ray M__, he is little more than a rodent
of unusual size.

While some might find my unkempt hair amusing, I am not sure I could
find Harter at all. Perhaps I would find him at large?

Good. We always sweep for those as they leave ones hair really
mussy.

Oh right you're Australian. The closest you guys know of rodents are
those pesky lagomorphs that God has sent as a plague with the mrine
toads to punish you for naming a town after Darwin. There are
unusually large rodents named capybaras in South America.

Perhaps a very large Sherman trap, about the size of a small sedan,
baited with various Gene Scott paraphernalia like autographed
portraits and articles. If you smudge a peanut butter and oatmeal
mixture on the bait, this has an enhanced effect. Lay these traps
around various newsgroups where the rodent is known to frequent.
