Cloozoe is back. Yes!

In an effort at Prophylactic Elocution Interdiction I would like to submit that the definition of a syllable is a word segment consisting of at least one
consonant and vowel . "V. W. B." contains no vowels and ergo must, by definition, be a single syllable in its' entirety.

The rods are never
obsolete but dollars fuel the pitchmens' gibber. Bulldog; I never cease to be blown away by the gear and photos you post.

The AirRite rod name

Cloozoe,
You made me laugh out loud to the point my colleague had to check in my office to see if everything was O.K. Champilk has now been added to my vocabulary. I promise to serve it at the next rod gathering... -- Dr. Todd |
