Err, well,ok. But, I kinda thought we were converging here. If not
linguistically, perhaps, at least, well, in some Web-like fashion.

Earth? Geez, no. I'm still searching for my origins. Mom and Dad were
more than dodgey about it. Very evasive. Uttering phrases like:
"Honey, we're all /people/." And, "The scales on your skin don't make a
difference!" Or, "Well, look, I know those Polish people don't
understand pasta, but, well, ok, just consider them challenged and try
to befriend and educate them!"

Of course, the biggie for me growing up was: "Oh, honey, someday you'll
meet a girl who actually appreciates that aspect of your anatomy!"

And you know what? Mom was right! I finally met her! Ok, well, I had
to get over a few things (anatomically speaking) but, whoa! What a dame!

Lead me not into temptation (I can find the way myself).
