Les Griswold (bn946@FreeNet.Carleton.CA) whines:
I pick Northern Europe because I assume that most people know
what I mean.
Mr. Lazy Griswold's mental processes are so muddled and confused even
he cannot articulate them any better than this, so he must hope that
someone will telepathically pick up what it is he really meant to say.
Obviously, in yours and Raggedy's case, I ascribe too much
intelligence.
Indeed, intelligence is a stumbling block to understanding what Mr.
Lazy Griswold is grunting about.
I could as easily have said "from the plains of Asia".
Indeed, he could! And it would have made just as much -- or as little
-- sense! Unless, of course, you can read his mind and discover that
these phrases do not have any real meaning for him -- they just make
him feel warm and fuzzy all over.
