Maybe Ezee Mon, King of Monotonous. I could figure out how to get those Republicans some limelight strategy, but I don't think they want me. Bunch of toe-stubbers.

By the way, I stubbed my toe, on a sidewalk bump in Alhambra (not Spain), when I was about seven; stubbed it so hard I sanded the skin off. Twisted it under and sanded off the end; like a belt sander. Always followed by hopping.

It's like that.

That's a funny phrase kids learn. "Did you stub your toe?" "Yes. I stubbed it."

Later in life, it falls into disuse (another funny phrase); except for stubbies.

Chronicles.

I tried to listen to some of it this morning on the car radio...it was --mindboggling. POint of ORDER! POint of ORDER!!!!!! screamed that guy with the whiny speech defect.
Hyde: No, I don't want to recognize you. No point of order! I'm talking!
Whiny: You can't talk! You already talked! You finished!
Hyde: How do YOU know I finished? You don't know that! I didn't finish!
New Voice: Point of information, mr Chairman! Point of information!
Hyde: NO! No more points! You are interfering with the flow of this inquiry!
Another new voice: Point of order! This is a railroading! I object!
Hyde: You can't object! you haven't been recognized!

I'm serious.
That was really what happened.
I went to my volunteer work with great relief. teenagers are much more reasonable.
When I picked up Ammo later this afternoon-I turned it on again- someone was saying: He can't save his time!
Hyde: You say he can't! I say he can!
I turned it off again.
