😃 Ah, **fransutch** – an import from the New Word Definition Game, eh? I’ve duly defined it there. 😉 Do come back when you’ve had a nap, **quiltguy154**. I’ll look for you also in the ACROname game. Isn’t it about time we hit a new page, and a new topic? Oh, and please don’t feel :o since you’re far from the first to be led astray, but while [Eddy, Teddy and Freddy](http://community.webshots.com/photo/782975/784357) are indeed male (genetically, if not entirely since their life-altering trip to the vet), **EddyTeddyFreddy** , their Evil Captor, is not. 😛 ---
