8^) so i guess he thought that "gardyloo" meaning "gardez l'eau"
was one of the most amusing things he'd read in here in a long
time. ;>

| he prolly found it amusing cuz it'd be an appropriate injunction at a
meeting of les amis du vin due to the known allergy to water of most
oenophiles.

| Me pernt, Doctah-San, was not that you should have connected "gardez
l'eau" wif "gardyloo," but rather that as a putative phranqueophone,
you might have been expected to have been exposed to said etymology as
part of the oral tradition of yer ethnoid heritage.

I think the note digresses:
Skrittles = the tiny crumbs and flakes left over at the bottom of
a corn flakes box
Lactomangulation = the act of crushing a milk carton after it has been
used.
dognut = the centre bolt on a fire hydrant that all dogs use as a
target for peeing on.
Tanenbum = the bare side of a Christmas tree that everyone turns
towards the wall.
Neutron pea = the hard unedible peas you get when you over-cook
peas or t.v dinners in a microwave oven.
