I'll offer up an retraction even though I thought PC-ness went out with the
new millenium. Far better than facing the inevitable lawsuits in the golden
years of PC during the early 90s :-)

It's difficult to top Cecilia's poetry and allusions, though. And to
quickly counter Zazie's comment and defend all those lower-center-of-gravity
guys out there, check out the article "I like em Short" at
http://www.salon.com/health/sex/urge/2000/02/29/short/
Seems like I'm going for the 'baffle-em-with-urls' approach to this
retraction...
But to actually get to the retraction and correction, let me go back to my
offending comment:
>> '... Gedsudski is only 5'3 or 4 ...'
and restate it properly, in Salinger's words:
"He was a stocky five three or four - no more than that." (57)
There we go. If anyone has a problem with that, mail a letter to JD...hehe
Thanks for the catch Scottie. I'll be more careful before throwing those
"only"s around next time :-)
back to work,
- Zack
p.s. That comment "wringing your gloved hands like a pair of Marcel Marceaus
over the poignancy of the pre-shrunk" adds to your legend as the undisputed
*giant* of wittiness on this list. Might even want to tone it down a little
for those of us who can't write so cleverly ;-)
