Yeah, I figured I wasn't the only one. Heh. Doesn't make it any more fun to climb out of, though, does it?

That's actually from a popular Mini advertising campaign run a few years ago in the UK. An actor dressed up like Chaucer would deliver an ode to the glory of the Mini Cooper, and despite there being several speeches with several ads, it would always start "Ye Cooper." It was supposed to be funny, but then again the British use metric humor.

No, that was patented JD hooey. :-D

BRV BUG

Or does nobody know the connotation for "yellow" anymore?

Sort of a nice switcharound. :-)

Which is fine advice if you're actually thinking about the process, and fairly useless if one is thinking about one's end product.

Heh. Even without your disclaimer, I would have assumed that was JD-ness--your fondness for Middle English is memorable, especially to Artsy's writer. :-)

Though I did wonder if it was supposed to be something like that!

Oh I forgot to say. Silly, silly those guys who write that great have been doing it longer... all it'll take to get there is to KEEP WRITING... I have to tell myself that day after day. How old is Joss? How long as has been writing? All are heroes are at least in their later 30s... so breathe. And keep typing away. You'll get there. *pats*

*snicker* Yeah, what time of day did you write that? Good advice, but the grammer just escaped you there. :-D

I saw a Cooper yesterday with Union (British) flags on the side-view mirrors.

I think if I ever see one (or any car, really) that's painted all-over with a Union Flag (ala Austin Powers' Shaguar), I will buy it immediately, debt be damned.
