Kurt Ravidas November 6, 2019 at 11:40 AM As one Russian-American writer said: "The comic differs from the cosmic in one hissing consonant". Great win, Line. Line Gauthier November 13, 2019 at 3:48 PM I'm obviously lacking in the culture department. Thanks for the clarification, Kurt. Kurt Ravidas November 7, 2019 at 4:09 AM Thanks for jester, Line) Alas, that was not me who said that, Nabokov. He really was a cosmic jester. Line Gauthier November 6, 2019 at 4:12 PM Funny, Kurt. You've got a bit of the jester running through your pen I think. LOL
