When Yogi was asked as a child how he liked school, he supposedly said 'Closed'

Hi Jodan
I saw the "Surprise me" quote about a burial-place cited in a UK newspaper as Bob Hope's last words.
If true, therefore derivative...

(Great piece, btw. You are certainly the prolific one...)

I read that too! Maybe it was another quote

Thanks. I'm writing a lot lately. 21 Solos so far It'll slow down soon.

You hear that, you lot?
By definition, Jodan knows at least twenty-one distinct facts.
if you ask me...

I've forgotten many of them

And a University project based around one fact, by the way

Told you he was a !

The university entry is based around baseball, by the way

Yeah, I know. Just sport, right?
(You )
Baseball is OK. Football's better, but baseball's better than hockey. And basketball is just a very silly and boring freakshow.
IMHO, 'course...
What's with the mirror-writing, Jodan? You found that Mirror|rorriM thing?
Pin

Nah. I just did the mirror thing to annoy Hypatia a bit.

Yes (American) Football is better

I meant American football. Stands to reason that Association Football is better than anything you guys call sport. As is darts (topless or otherwise), shove ha'penny etc.

I'll go try find the Mirror|rorriM thing, 'cos it's mineworthy. Do things have to be in AWW before you dig 'em up? Nawww...surely not. That'd be too easy!

Well then baseball is better than American football! Pah.

Quite a few of our accepted entries were submitted by miners actually . Okay, two.

Though re-reading it, I now recall that it's a potential EG-piece, after a bit of work.
Don't bother with the shovel. False alarm.

...you were supposed to get intrigued by the topless darts reference, btw

Nah I'm far too civilized

And I don't shovel. I crack the whip

Civilised + Ohio = pull-the-other-one

So - how many you got so far, if you don't mind my asking?
(And when's it launch on the FP?)

Argh, you asked two questions that I always forget...

We launch in early September and have an even ten in the pipeline, I believe

So...that makes 20% provided by Burke and Hare, right?

*decides not to comment on whipping technique at this juncture*

Sprout and Waz. Brutus and Cassius, Louis and Clark

Yeah.

I'm whipping just fine right now, I think. It's a bit annoying when the miners don't make their picks, but I don't let them do the picks late, which is how I whip them.

I'm far too nice...

Sprout and Waz?
Fine upstanding individuals both. Definitely not body-snatchers. Deeply sorry about that aspersion.

(You knew who Burke and Hare were, then? That makes 22 facts, you ...)

Certainly are. Both are on some sort of vacation, I believe.

Don't minimize your own contribution to the UG, by the way. You've contributed exactly 10%, possibly more soon

And you knew that first,
