[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 752647, member: 22662"] I believe you want to say En Garde. And to your previous post, I suggest you look up the term reprobate before you speak as if you know what it means. In fact, for one to post Mad magazine as a form of reading in a thread obviously about literary works, "reprobate" is quite fitting. That the word has it's origins in religious thought does not mean it cannot have meaning in another context even if only to exemplify the distintion between class. Consider comedy. John Cleese is clearly high-brow humor while Eddie Murphy tends to the low-brow side of things. While many can view both with equal enjoyment, a knuckle-dragging, Alfred E. Newman inspired Horton Hears a Who-sound-it-out-reader like yourself would find Cleese (and most other non bodily function humor) without merit. bbsam....For some reason, this title speaks to me when I read your Posts!!:peaceful: On Garde' [/QUOTE]
