If “How did she know?” had referred to Judy Merrill, the polite phrasing of the answer would be, from personal experience.

Guffaw!

I bow before your superior knowledge.

ETA: Oh, and I've just started reading LJ again, after a couple of weeks away....

Thanks for the postcard! I've had more fun with this....

Seriously, I'm beginning to think that you've been paying far more attention to us over the years than I'd ever imagined. To say that most folk know that we're twisted is belaboring the obvious. But you've been catching nuances. Your previous card featured a photo of some of Wisconsin's delightful bovines. It was perfect. Kath & I saw the card, turned to each other and murmured softly, "Mmmm.... Cows." We do this whenever we see cattle, and began the stupid habit long before Homer Simpson expressed similar feelings about doughnuts. Thus the "How did she know?" reaction to the "Sin in Space" card.

Didn't know about the cows at all. (I've seen you guys as you drove up to Minicon, but I was never in the car with you.)

As for this postcard, I mean really, how many fans do you know who wouldn't like the combination of sin and space?

[dr_whuh]

That's right. Go ahead. Crush a guy's paranoiac imaginings.

You're quite correct, though. I noticed eons ago that the Nerds had won: Fen get laid lots more often than Mundanes.
