Is your Stride Mother at home? Can I talk to her, please? Thank you!

YYYYEEEAAAHHH!

Which is why being a historian can be such pervy fun. ;-)
Though I do worry for the future of the profession because of the ephemeral and immaterial nature of electronic correspondence.

Watching a scab form would be fascinating in comparison.

I didn't watch it because I haven't for twenty years and I'm certainly not starting again just to see a bloviating assclown I've already seen too much of engage in lowjinks with this pack of talentless non-entities.
