Well, you really should have read the fairy tale "The bamboozling of the overcredulous chef" by Walt Disney van Grimm before!

Well, there was a car dealer in Virginia whose name was Walt Dempsey (really) and I'm certain he was connected with the Germans.

Don't yawl discourage Col man from writing verse. He's coming along and has been more terse, but when I see him do rhyming stuff, I feel he's improving for better or worse. Very Happy

Thok is a singular fellow for he disdains the use of hyperbole.

To what related?

Well, a parabola, parabolic is the adjective, is a conic section generated by the intersection of a cone, and a plane tangent to the cone or parallel to some plane tangent to the cone. If the plane is itself tangent to the cone, one would obtain a degenerate parabola, a line.

Somebody has said of the boldest figure in rhetoric, the hyperbole, that it lies without deceiving. --Macaulay.

panz, I like that quote. I think O Henry must be the master of hyperbole and the hashed metaphor. Great writer. As to the description of Thok as hyper-parabolic, I get the geometry just not the description. My students use to call it hyper-bole.

It was a gentle joke Letty, for Thok is dear to my heart too.
