here, here (or is that: hear, hear - whatever!) erwin:

a wholehearted nod of the head, shake of the hand, wink of the eye, stomp
of the foot, snap of the fingers, purse of the lips, twitch of the nose,
etc., etc., and so forth, on this decidedly un-luglike (and rhetorically
rabelaisian) analysis of that all together overwhelming lug affliction:
bitchitis (or: skwawkorhea, to put it in the language of the layman).

i heartally concur with your bold assertion, but fear that the fickle
lug-spirit will nevertheless resort to the usual saliva-swilling invectives
over the next supposed photo snafu, in spite of your sage advice.
