Oh, Rapscallion, to think I thought yesterday to be a "frabjous day" when I could engage in a little silly on TOTV..........

Just for the record, I knew. Even in 1970, I knew Rod McKuen was a button-pusher. Therefore, I really do not have egg on my face. I just have to recognize the need to use emoticons for clarification around here. (sigh)
