Yes, I am Will Cuppy, author of the above-mentioned classic, How to Tell Your Friends from The Apes, How to Get from January to December, and other risible writings.

Well done, EH!

[astorian]

This is the first time since SDMB Botticelli began that I can honestly say… I’ve never heard of the guy.

Congrats, Elendil.

[Knowed_Out]

I had no brain spark at all for this round, but at least somebody knew the mystery guest. Grats EH!

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Thanks. I read one of Cuppy’s books years ago, and his name just popped into my head: Will Cuppy - Wikipedia.

I’ll be out of town over the weekend. OK if I start the next round on Sun. night?

[SCAdian]

I was pretty sure that was who it was, but I didn’t want to host another game so soon so I didn’t ask. Good job, EH!

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Not a problem waiting to Sunday for me.

[SCAdian]

I can wait until Sunday. I’ll be on vacation next week, so I’ll have plenty of time to play.

OK, thanks - off we go. Our letter is
