there may be an accidental senryu or two in the group, Tommy and Ray
Magliozzi have basically proven their motto that there are no bad questions,
only bad answers (or responses).
Needless to say, even though Blawg Review #36 includes two links to
f/k/a posts from last week, haikuEsq has not been convinced it deserves
a nod from this serious weblog. We’re not that easily bribed (inquire within
for bribery particulars, or make an offer).
