Who, me? Ask Roger Lewis, who has met me. Or mog379, who was also at WWBW when I was.

It seems to me we are quite overdue in this area. Also, I prefer "un" to "scantily." Just me, I guess.

I don't know why anyone would think you are a guy, Mary Ann. As for your claim to being the world's smallest tuba player: it may be true. I do, however, believe there was a time when I qualified for that honor. History is extremely unlikely to repeat itself in this case.

Oh, a while back I claimed to actually be a guy posing as a gal. As in, I was a guy with a wife named Mary Ann, and if I ever came to a tuba workshop I was going to have to teach her to play tuba in a great big hurry. It was fun...I had T4S really going there for a while.

which brings up...seeing WTF! all the time gets old, too. It seems to be a favorite of those who really are the age my avatar appears to be.

True! True! I have to admit my language isn't always saintly, but I don't believe it is necessary to use such language on this forum. And, yes, it is quite tiresome to hear/read all the time.

When it's a pet, you call it "peavey":

well, phooey! I was hoping that someone would come up with a picture of a pet "peave" ... but then realized that it would inevitably appear as a scantily clad woman saying "WTF!"
