Dedekind, Wedekind, as long as he loves his mother
The way this play is turning out in its last act, perhaps we, and even I, should assume that I really meant to write "wedekindest" (after Benjamin Franklin Wedekind, a playwright with a particular interest in sex) rather than "dedekindest" in this death of a thousand cuts.

Meanwhile, I'm going to take a lie-down in some De Sitter space. No, make that bed-sitter space, just so no one gets the wrong or possibly right idea.

And I'm picking up my marbles and going home.

Not that it Mathers, but I have it on good port (hic) authority that there are records which establish that "Cotton" Baylor,(forced, unfortunately to become something of an "Uncle Tom")(1) the great-great grandfather of Laker basketball great, Elgin Baylor, was brought to this country by the cruel Creole, Simone Le GrisGris and her uncle, Tonton Macoute, in the course of fleeing Haiti. It's all Greek to me, but I hope that Hugh doesn't pick up "his" Elgin marbles and go home to the four walls that doth an Attica make, lest he be taken prisoner or visited by the dark, bloody ghost of "Melena" Mercouri. Have a good, long Wochenende, Mr. Fits, Gerald(2)/ Mr. Wunderbent Sinister, and remember that weekend speaking engagements for fans of the old Paris Troika (a three-some involving Nicky, Paris and unfortunately, not Yours Truly) are made for Mikhail [frontal] "Lobe" Gorbachev, the port-wine stained "Holy Sea" of Soviet era suck-ups who emulate the late Shostakovich and put to music Philip Glasnost./ 1. I was glad to learn that CB later escaped and was given refuge by Seminole Indians, becoming known to them as "Uncle Tom-Tom."/ 2. See oldest living ex-U.S. President's medical file which describes the results of "playing football without a helmet." Also see the effects on I.Q. of frequent "headers" in your pathetic "football" and also, one assumes, the playing of rugby.
