Was looking through some of Dusty's archives for a few rocks to chunk
at Dusty's recently renovated "Glass House."  {Appears he's always had
one, because I just saw the remodeling truck leave, and their truck was
full of broken glass.}

Anyway, found a good "chunker," especially since it has Dusty
misspelling his own name, but while rummaging through the pile, there
was this "boulder" below.

Ol' Dusty is doing the ol' "sheep-herding" thing; jumping on Jack
Dawes, because Jack was jumping on Curmit for apparently
misspelling "Odyssey."  Much to my surprise {not really} Dusty is
playing down the whole misspelling issue.  In trying to make Jack feel
bad for even attempting to set Curmit straight, he explained to the
crowd, in a sarcastic tone, how spelling isn't central to comprehension
and intelligence and that those who start "spelling flames" aren't very
highly regarded on Usenet...go figure.

You're transparent as glass, Scrot.

What a hoot!

{Will need to create another thread for the post where Dusty can't
remember how to spell his name.}
