OhmyGod - are we playing Balderdash? Best game there is.

It actually goes back to Tudor Times when Henry VIII couldn't remember which Catherine, Katharine or Kathryn he was married to at times. 'Kay' he used to call them all to avoid any jealousy.

The 'O' 'K' was exclaimed in moments of ectasy (when he was the least clear-headed) and became a fashionable utterance of courtiers at the time. It disappeared from common usage during Elizabethan times but resurged during George III's reign during one of his bad spells.



HOLIDAYS - Does any one have a large transparent bag to put my guitar in? I was so looking forward to making a barton-does-airplane home movie.
