Dear Marty,

Now I know how my sister in Massachusetts has felt all these
years.

I don't think that I'm going to like it.

Aaaargh!

You moving here? Or are you lamenting the possibility of hearing for four
years the blather of a haughty, French-looking, Massachusetts Democrat?

Dear Kyle,

How can you speak of mere politics at a time like this?

The team formerly known as the New York Yankees were ahead
of the infamous Boston Red Sox by three games in the
playoffs and then--

No, I don't think that I'm going to like this.

Crushed,

One thing that I particularly enjoyed about the Red Sox fans' emotional
attachment to the team is that when the Sox lose a big game, there's
rioting in the streets, with plenty of property damage.

And when they win big, there is also rioting in the streets, with plenty
of property damage. A reassuring consistency, methinks.

Um, in Boston, that's known as afternoon traffic.

Does B.H. stand for Butt Head? Or perhaps Bung Hole?

I'm so glad I moved. I never hear about baseball games anymore.
Traffic is another story.

And just how does a haughty cyclist look? Does he ride a penny farthing when
looking that way? If so then I understand.

French-looking?? Elaborate please. What does his looks have to do with this
thread. Do all French speakers look French? How about if you speak both
french and English? Does that mean you look French and English?


How can that be? I thought Sheldon was an American? I gather that you must
agree because you state his political orientation. Does that mean he is
registered? How do the registered look as compared to the un-registered.
Heaven help Sheldon if he spoke 3 languages! What would he look like then?

Oh, Americans like yourself make such confusing statements. Perhaps you can
explain what Sheldon actually looks like and what bicycles he does ride.

Sheldon, perhaps you will be as amused as everyone else with the silly
explanations put forth by the poster as he/she tries to respond to my
questions. At this point I am not at all amused, just questioning the inept
(to me) description of Sheldon.

Dear Ken,

To prevent any further confused ill-will, Kyle was alluding
to Senator Kerry, not to Sheldon Brown:

James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal has made a running
joke of the phrase "haughty, French-looking" for months.

Thanks for this clarification.

Dear Carl,

I'm Crushed! I thought he was talking about me!

I even wore my beret to the Boston Symphony Orchestra concert earlier
this evening. (James Levine knocked Mahler's 8th out of the park*)

Perhaps I was more French lookig before I dyed my beard red...

Dear Sheldon,

I sincerely hope that your term is not limited to the mere
four years that Kyle mentioned.

As for the concert, who was swinging the lumber tonight in
the string section?

Dear Carl,

Symphony being a team sport, there were some 59 lumber swingers
involved. One of them, #4 'cello, was Harris Cyclery alum Mike Jojatu.

It was a bit of a rip-off onacounta the "Symphony of a Thousand"
actually only had about 300 players on stage (actually, not all on
stage--there was a second brass section down at the end of the second
balcony.
