    I have a good friend who thinks that the Renaissance was caused from the influx of coffee into Europe. :-)

    Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

    Nosey, weren't they?

    Never use the letter "B" in the next post. :-)

    British spelling helps a lot in this case such as organisation, realise and so on...

    But you, cloudless girl, question of smoke, corn tassel
    You were what the wind was making with illuminated leaves.
    ah, I can say nothing! You were made of everything.

    I see your mind is made up, so there is no use in arguing.

    next : No D

    Big-breasted beauty most often belies
    Billowing buttocks and corpulent thighs.

    Sorry. I actually replied to post #46 but took so much time (had to leave the screen to answer the doorbell) that two people replied in the meanwhile. I only saw that when I revisited the thread
    But you, cloudless girl, question of smoke, corn tassel
    You were what the wind was making with illuminated leaves.
    ah, I can say nothing! You were made of everything.

    You're right. I originally wrote "buxom" but the meter didn't work.

    Okay, avoiding D:

    I am such a humble fellow,
    No buxom lasses keep me mellow.
    And yet, and yet, when I was young,
    They new the kiss of Pompey Bum.

    Avoid E!

    That's too difficult and, anyway, what good will it do?

    next : No F

    I am struck by your singular request. Let me ponder upon a way of addressing it.

    next : No I
