Some are bellicose baritone soloists who relish the fight. Some prefer a less strident, if more subtle, role in the chorus.

You wanted to remove any doubt that it strengthens. Very intellectual.
I agree, so much for intellectual discourse
You say it so well.
'get real' is my line Ilmarinen, you pilfered
Another intellectual achievement that you must guard vigilantly.

No one will pilfer your spelling of Powell.

The usual RWE tendency to focus on the ass.
Thank you for sharing your intellectual capital on this thread. Keep the cunning comedy coming. We'll try not to pilfer it. |
