> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by She be a harsh Mistress. \* > \*\*Need a sig? Try this “Science be a harsh mistress”. > It’s from The Simpsons, Groundskeeper Willie, so I have no fixed claim to it. 😃 \*\* As Bill stretched out equals William, and William squeezed down equals Willie, I humbly accept this wholly appropriate signature. Especially from a Southern Belle as yourself. This will be enacted directly, as soon as I figure out how. ---

Hey **Jalapeno\_On\_A\_Stick**! Is your name a reference to part of a comedy routine by… by, um… by some fellow whose name I can’t remember right now? 😃 There was also something in there about a cockroach on a stick (pronounced “shteek”, as the talking jalapeno had a Mexican accent…) Anyway, just wondering… ---

Welcome aboard **Jalapeno\_On\_A\_Stick**! > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by AudreyK \* > Hey **Jalapeno\_On\_A\_Stick**! Is your name a reference to part of a comedy routine by… by, um… by some fellow whose name I can’t remember right now? 😃 There was also something in there about a cockroach on a stick (pronounced “shteek”, as the talking jalapeno had a Mexican accent…) Anyway, just wondering… That certainly sounds like Steve Martin. It reminds me of a cartoon: The guy is sitting dejected on the curb outside his store, which says “Out of Business”. It has a big neon logo of a **Fish-in-a-Sock**. He tells his friend, “It seemed like a sure thing: Buy Two - Get a Pair” ---
