This is what happens when you work while looped on migraine meds

I was going through the massive mail pile this morning, and upon unboxing a book by Alexander Waugh (grandson of Evelyn), it occurred to me that "Waugh" would make a really great vintage comic sound effect.

Oh that's just beautiful. *applauds*

Hee hee hee... you're the English major, YOU tell ME :)

[minniethemoocha]

Waugh is hell... unless you're an English major! And probably not an American English major, at that. Present company naturally excepted, or in your case, exempt.

Rx and I have taken to exclaiming "Viile BOdies!" in a campy Snagglepuss drawl.

It's almost as much fun as squawking "BLUE mur-der!" a la Mrs. Premise & Mrs. Conclusion.

The son, Auberon Waugh, was hilarious, too. His "Diary", done for Private Eye between 1972 and 1985, is unique; his autobiography is deeply weird for its careening back and forth between jocularity and rage at Evelyn's being such a turd up close and personal:

I understood perfectly well that he was joking, but one never knew how far he would be prepared to go with his jokes.

I've got a decent colection of his stuff; let me show you it the next time you're over at our place, which I trust won't be long.

Nicely done.

Thank you, considering I did it in about five minutes at work with MSPaint :)
