Nov.5-Christmas is upon us

Hamana-hamana-hamana

Crap. Why don't I understand your response?

me neither

All true Americans understand FM's response . . . the merryandrew ain't a true American . . . he's actually a refugee from the Duchy of Grand Fenwick . . . (let's see if the suckers remember that one . . . )

True enough. But we're a proud race of people who will stand up and roar when necessary.

MA is not a mouse!

Not surprising that you feel this way, should O-boy win, so he can steal on your behalf with impunity.

Good work, MA and Roger . . . i knew the . . . ahem, old timers would get it.

But, meanwhile, I still don't understand farmerman's response. I no speak very good American, only been in this country a short distance.

Hammana, hammana, hammana (who knows how it's supposed to spelled) is an expression which was current in the 1960s (FM's tipping his hand), and was popular among adolescents and among college students. It has a variety of meanings, and the meaning is usually understood in context. In writing, without being able to see FM's mug (thank Dog for some favors), body language, gestures, etc., it's difficult to know what he meant. But i'm assuming he meant, "Oh yeah? big deal (eyes rolling)."
