Re: Correspondence Based Books/Movies

One day earlier on our show:

Mr. Pillock: " 'You've Got Mail' is a remake of '84 Charing Cross Road.' "

Miz Sylvia: "There ya go! A great book based on correspondence!"

Mr. Pillock: "Dracula is an epistolary book."

Miz Sylvia: "Don't drag religion into this."

Miz Bernie: "Ba doom boom! (Good one, Sylvia)."

Miz Sylvia: "Thenk yew. <petite curtsey>

"About time I put them vocabulary lists to good use.
<waiting> Prezzie?

"-- Sylvia (*Who* will explain it to Haddad?)
(There's that leap thingy, doncha know.) "

Or, to towse?

Don't get it,

There, there, towse, I never expected either you or Ray Haddad to get it, and
rightly so.

honey.

Oh, dear... towse resorts to the patronizing lame.

"You're not allowed to call me 'honey' or 'sweetie' unless I really
like you [...] Then it will be all right, because I'll call you 'pumpkin'
and 'pudding'."

Could you explain?

I could, but I doubt that would help ya, towse. See, to start, you'd need a
sense of humo(u)r. That eliminates you right off.

Poor towse. <chortle!>

Are you doing that thing where you define what you want to define and take
the least likely definition in lieu of how the world thinks a word is
defined?

<looking away while towse embarrasses herself even further>

Again???

<peeking>

Now, now, towse, yer gonna have to deal with the fact that there are many things
about the combination of language and humo(u)r that are always going to escape
you. You shouldn't let yerself get upset to a three question mark degree as ya
have. After all...

Towse: "Stupid" is such a pejorative term. Do you realize
that half of the population has a double-digit IQ?

Miz Sylvia: "<cough>

"Ummmm... Towse? IQ tests are designed that way.
Did you think it was just a wild coincidence that 100
is at the top of the bell curve?

"If it makes you feel any better, 68% fall between
85-115 (sometimes stated as 90-110). "

You're a bit of a nutcase, aren't you?

Oh, dear... towse resorts to the mental health lame.

"I tend to be the "publish and be damned" sort.
...perhaps because I love myself and figure I'm
lovable with or without my ever-so-black heart.

" ...and those who don't love me are um. odd."

-- Sal towse in MW

And, Miz Bernie, towse? By default, you must think her crazy as well, yes? I'm
sure she'll be devastated to know that ya hold such a low opinion of her.

Not.

Sal towse: "Your posts are as unreadable as $Zero's and about worth
the same effort, if one was so inclined."

Miz Sylvia: " <chortle> And yet, towse continues to read and reply
to my posts, as well as those of Mr. $Zero (and, then,
continues to whine about our posts)."
