Yay! :-)

Your tidbits are always succulent! (No innuendo, for a change ... just appreciation of your eye for what's funny and what's interesting and what's germane.)

Plus, I so love references to Freud and goats!

Though I must admit, I'm unlikely to say "hircosity" when I could instead say "goatishness." : )

Well, then, look what I've found for you! : )
