    Now that my days as sexual athlete, and orgiophantic virtuoso, seem over, I'd have to say my most worthless skills, excepting my bogus modesty, are in devising esoteric off-topic digressions which contain over-elaborated self-referentiality, literary quotes and japes, obscure sub-textuality, and archaic or out-moded vocabulary, as if were I were an architect designing twisted mirrors for fun-house add-ons to funeral-parlors. Perhaps that's why I feel a certain "kindred spirit" bond with DD, although DD's advanced abilities as a cunning linguist hierophant of the gustatory, and olfactory, senses, in the context of bibuolosity, are, ipso dipsomaniacal: nonpareil. Well, those are my latest lame excuses. As Groucho said: "these are my principles; if you don't like them: I've got others."

      Canadia is cheaper to visit. Last time I was up there, the only thing I recognized was poutine. :)

        While I was running up the stairs some minutes ago, something that I usually find myself thinking is that I have several skills that are really worthless. For example, I am very good at walking and running silently. And they are worthless because: 1 - I'm not a criminal 2 - The job market for Ninjas is really low nowadays. I have many skills that I'm really good at but are worthless because they don't matter anymore or it makes no difference in my life or in other people's lives. What are your worthless skills?

              It's damn not dam. The 323 is a four cylinder car while the 626 has a 6 cylinder engine. Hope that helps clarifies it for you.

                      I had to copy and paste to Notepad and have a look in Courier New to see that you were correct.
