Who, but an English major, could have found that so quickly?

Ms. Boomer, ma'am, my birds here at the forum are not evil. I brought them in especially for you. There are some more here I am trying to catch for UUJudy. I don't know whether to use a metaphor to catch them, or should I pour some simile on their tails.

uujudy - I'm still only a veteran member too, but I type pretty darn fast! I think it has to do with the fact that I'm not as verbose as someone ... oh I don't know...like an english major! Maybe an english major needs to be named after a bird because they are always going off on flights of fancy. (However, those flights of fancy have kept us very entertained!) So maybe, Boomer, you need to strive for the next level as fast as possible....of course, you will need to determine if you like that label any better than this one. (It's obvious that Mr. Tony is not going to assign you your own personal assignation...I think you're going to have to tough this one out!)

It could be a librarian. have you ever thought of that?
Or Maybe a Government Research Specialist, another now how to find it all.

And Mr. T you still look like Charlie the Tuna in that hat!

Boomer would never have an assignation, like Sschuler lobbies for, with a guy in a sailing hat. Not a fisherman hat. Not a tuna hat.

Assignation? Not me. Not a chance. Mrs. Tony would probably be charged with poor use of a golf club. I don't think my sailing hat could stand that. And Mr. Boomer? I don't know about Mr. Boomer. He could be some creepy kind of guy who would be upset, too. Who knows?

Don't look at me for an assignation.

Tony, have you thought about using "Walking Eagle" instead of Golden Eagle?
It is a name that a recent gathering of native Americans bestowed upon our leader...............They went on to comment later that a Walking Eagle was one that was so full of it that it could no longer fly.

Boomer, my friend...

Only an English major would know that they had,if fact, split an infinitive - because they are the only folks on the planet who would recognize one slipping into their writing. They may also be the only folks who quote a little Shakespeare to get their point across..

Then again, I, an Accounting major, am strutting and fretting my hour on this forum.

k (still a veteran)

[Boomer]

Aha! Did you not all notice that word 'assignation' used by SSchuler? Hmmmmmmm. That is exactly the kind of word an English major would use.

Kate, you claim to be an accounting major and I gotta say you do talk a good story when it comes to numbers, but......I saw that shameless confession you made somewhere here....that confession about having taught English. Uh huh. Maybe not an English major. But perhaps an English minor?

And, Kate, about that strutting and fretting. Be careful. Next thing you know it is "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" and you find yourself still strutting and fretting and then you end up getting the bird from Tony.

And Whalen is right. She is right about Tony's hat. Mr. Tony does look like Charlie in that hat.

And Mr. Tony, you are wondering if Mr. B. could be a "creepy kind of guy who could be upset." Well, Mr. Boomer is not creepy. That's for sure. But he does have some old hats in a box in the basement. Mr. Boomer's old hats are Green Berets.

And I forgot to say in the above post that I knew that SS meant moniker and not tryst - or is it trist? And Mr. Tony, puleeeeeeez do not make me have to get started on yet another dissertation on the denotation and connotation of words. Geez. I really do have to go see my massage therapist/message therapist at 11:30 this morning. This bird thing has allllll been ohhhhhh, soooooo stressful, you know.
