I'm out. The promoted tweets have been getting worse and worse. I'm not giving my time to these grifters anymore. Maybe take a look at your feed, and check if it's still worth it for you? If you'd like to get in touch, my Gmail address is the same as my handle. Peace.

Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives - and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us.
So there's a particular quirk of English grammar that I've always found quite endearing: the exocentric verb-noun compound agent noun. It appears in a definite, remarkably narrow period - not more than 150, 200 years - before dying out, leaving loads of legacy words in its wake.
