Are you all Americans?
Did anyone see the Osmond documentary on Saturday night?
Isn't Tony Blair doing a grand job?
Haven't Metallica done a fine job stopping file sharing?
etc etc
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the nicest board i've ever posted to.

funny that.
i've been meaning to read that rabelais stuff since reading m.M. Bakhtin talking about him last month.
Interesting geezer that Bakhtin too.
but Rabelais had Gentle Giant works based on his writing.
