Sponsored by shoehorne. He crosses the finish line. A sole cricket chirpes. When asked, "why he raced?" He laughs before breaking wind. "For prawnes with aids, fool."

Then you know nothing. A gentleman always laughs and then breaks wind, not only so that womenfolk and others with weak constitutions may cover their noses with an ointment-soaked handkerchief, but so that the breaking of the wind punctuates both the jocularity of the thing that caused the gentleman to laugh and the importance of the gentleman's reaction.

So, you see, the laugh and the breaking of the wind are naught when encounter'd alone. But by their powers combined, I am Captain Planet.

P.S. Ace poem <{Baba^Yaga}>. OR SHOULD I SAY HORUS8. I am mystified by the inclusion of a cricket in this biography, however. Surely you know the tale of -=Dark_Angel=- and Grandfather Cricket, and what passed between them, and what came about thence?

Yes, wonderful comment by the way. It is times as these that i often dutch oven myself to sleep at night. The misery is exquisite. You know... soon i have to leave for the mountains, but don't worry i'll check in here and there. I enjoyed your little symphony the other day too, my synthesized welsh buddy. Jovial and full of perk.

An extra point for including an air bisquit.
