I can't make up my mind if "Lagomorph" sounds more like some renegade
species of troll from a Tolkien story, or some weird morphing cartoon
character that sugar-saturated pre-teens would watch on TV on Saturday
mornings.

Whatever it may be, I'm sure that this is the first time that word has been
used on the LUG.

Wonder if it'll be the last.

P.S. So, Doug, in addition to be the Birdman, you are also the Lagomorphman
of Sacramento?
