Yes, the title was hyperbole--before it was made certified safe for consumption. I never claimed it was not. And it's the first time there's been anything but rigid truth in advertising in any Mudcat title.   Or perhaps not.

A couple of things.

1)   I keep telling Jan: assume nothing.   Don't assume positive, don't assume negative.   Check for yourself.   It's good advice for everybody.

2)   As Mudcatters may be aware, one of the main goals is to get somebody to actually read a thread--to pique their curiosity.   First step is a title that will catch the attention, in the competitive marketplace of ideas which is Mudcat.   

3)   Maybe I could have said "Fire on Metro".   Maybe if I'd been more alert I'd have done that. I throw myself on the mercy of the court, on the basis that I'd just recently come back from the Getaway, having stayed up singing and playing til 5 on Saturday morning--(I did think that was crazy even at the time), til almost 5 AM Sunday, and til 6 Monday.   Then I drove home, since I had to get stuff accomplished Monday (in theory, at any rate). So Tuesday I still had a sleep deficit.

By the way, Greg, I love you too.

But seriously, come on out to the Getaway next year.
