Sinsull, on September 29, you posted
"The worst ever was "Crazy Eddie" " And that's the deal!" with arms up, sweaty armpits out, and a large beer belly beneath a SMALL T-SHIRT.
I resemble that remark!
Well, I admit to the beer-belly, but I don't remember shouting at you on Christmas Eve, & I NEVER wear small T-shirts.

Remember the Carpenters song "(Just like me, they long to be) Close to You"?
I am now bombarded, by some shopping mall, with: "Just like you, they long to be, in Abu Dhabi"
They pronounce Abu Dhabi as "Aboo Dhab-eeeeeeeeeeee" to get the rhyme.
It is not funny, but it is starting to give me the screaming ab-dabs! (We have a pretty limited selection of English language radio stations)
Note to self: "Self, remember to put some tapes in the car"!
