I saw this coming, you know. After that first salvo of sweetness directed at me [thanks, by the way] I figured that a hurt, jealous resentment would sprout in someone’s heart. I briefly wondered whom would it be. The odd Roman numeral? Nah, probably not. Yet for some reason I hadn’t suspected the good ol’ Q. Well now it’s taken care of, and obviously not a moment too soon. If yet another friend of yours needs a public linguistic hug perhaps they’ll be too embarrassed (or secure) to say so.
Dave, Dave, Dave... The Q always has such nice things to say about you.
PS My friends are all welcome to as many public-linguistic hugs as they like. Even you, even though you were fresh.
