I cheerfully accept “piffle.” In fact, I consider it a compliment!

I have been AWOL for days in the pages of the encyclopedia, when not wandering aimlessly through the dictionary. The trick about this little game, I’ve found, is to let the names suggest themselves. If I try too hard, I just come up with silly stuff that makes no sense.

What an amazing memory you have. Yes, I believe he did do this, with much more panache than I. But he wasn’t washing dishes and shelling peas while he did it, either.

You given me a whole list of names to google! One of my favourite passtimes…though I do miss using an encyclopaedia for such activities because of all the unrelated information printed on the same page as “Hemingway, Ernest”, for instance…

Didn’t Steve Allen do something like this? What a great way to spend time while doing drugery!
