Of course I know that you already know, Don. I'm just playing the role of the straight man when I patiently explain to you the many things you already know. But you already knew that too, didn't you? ;-) I am Canadian, and proud of it, eh?   We live for irony in this country.

God, we are a clever and urbane pair, you and me! We are true philosopher kings of the North American zeitgeist. Savants. Heroic intellectual adventurers. We may even be a tad smarter than Spaw. We might as well be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Woody Allen, Alan Alda, and Noam Chomsky. Damn shame you and I can't meet for a coffee now and then and share our brilliance together... ;-)

It's also a damn shame I can't work out a link to that picture of Daniel and Cha Cha. (sigh) It would shed much light on this discussion.

By the way, I love that scene with Mercutio. The ability to show humour in the face of death is indeed a noble attribute.
