“The octopus’ tender tentacles tinkled like pomegranate bells ---" Cut, Cut Cut! What the 'H' are you talking about? ‘Tender tentacles of an octopus tinkling.’ Have you gone mad, Max? Try again now. Remember this is a H-O-R-R-O-R flick, ok? Roll ‘em, Madman… The sugary-sweet sensation of the syncopation of the sonata of the vivacious vulture ---” Cut, Cut, Cut! You HAVE flipped, haven’t you, man? O, yes. For joy. For joy. And, of course, the spread of culture... And I appreciate the honorificabilitudinitatibus, Dan. _________________________________________________________ The Gandaberunda is a legendary two-headed bird in Hindu mythology. That long word in the last line means: 'the state of being able to achieve honors.'
