    your literary learnedness ;-) are simply splendiferous to behold. What

    Nah, I didn't PLAN the thing (I'd be crap at that!)....the publisher
    did that - I was just a speaker. And I know I was good (don't you dare
    burst my bubble <grin>) coz people listened with interest, laughed in
    all the right places, and applauded heaps.... It felt so lovely...

    I can't be too bad at it, coz I keep getting asked to do them...

    Gee, no idea about the origin of the phrase "hash browns" - but didn't
    Gertrude's gal Alice B Toklas used to make "hash brownies"???

  10. BUT, just because no photos of GS or ABT exist showing them riding
    bikes doesnt mean that the pair weren't mad keen motorcyclists :)
    Perhaps there was a Jewish,American,Lesbian bike club in Paris in the 1920s'
