Yes! A new marshal has come to town to bring order to the fetid lawless swamp that is GQ. Remember all those provisions you were supposed to store just in case of a terrorist attack, **Sam**? Well, haul them to your computer room and bar the door, because the “report bad post” messages to mod e-mails will be coming in 24/7 and you’ll be too busy moving threads to take your hand off your mouse. Er, so to speak. Here’s to etymologist **Samclem** , the first mod ending in gry! 😃 ---

And hunting through old books and newspapers. Finding a factual answer to something that isn’t easily found is what I like to do. Nice to be wanted. ---

I’ll send you some new words and some old newspapers.I know a neat place to get old newspapers.It’s called “The Onion”,and it’s just the place for little known,off-beat stories. No,I didn’t say that;I said OFF-BEAT! the nerve… ---
