    I did not know that. I had a frog for a short period when I was young, but I suppose he was a legal citizen, born in N. Ontario.

    People sometimes refer to it as "Hongcouver."

    Thanks Darcy, Qim and Bien! I guess my SN isn't that bad then, although I'm now seeing from this thread that it does kind of misrepresent me as a Virginia Woolf fan (don't know why that's never occured to me before). Also, "Qim" is one of my favorite names to type on this forum.

    I like Paul, too. And really, MM, what's wrong with Ringo? He's funny, and apparantly quite a respected drummer. He sang the "No No Song", so he can't be all that bad a musician. Just sayin'.
    Nothing is wrong with Ringo. I find him to be extremely underrated as a drummer. But when you stack up his body of work (writing wise) against John, George, and Paul's, there's just no comparison.

    No, he didn't write much, that is true. But somehow I never thought of him as a writer. That was John and Paul and later, George.
