Cliques and cartels in Ripperology

[Tom_Wescott]

Mike Covell is such a pansy. And if that thread isn't sexist, I don't know what is.

For a time I was in the Korean Clique. Now I'm in the Central Asian clique. I almost joined the Chilean clique, but I had obligations to the CAC.

I think you're turning Japanese-o.

Just to give more info on my peronal cliquetivity: When the US was thinking about going metric, I joined the klick clique. After Windows 3.1, I was in the point and click clique. Because Rob has done such brilliant work, I think I'm not alone in the Clack clique. Upon taking a speed-typing course I was able to be in the clickety-clack clique, but since then I've gotten slower and was forced into the clackety-click clique. I thought about joining the clock clique, but those German cukoos have gotten so expensive that I refrained from doing so. In Japan it's called the Crock Crique, but Jiminy Cricket is Jiminy Clicket, so I can't quite figure that out. The Cloak clique was for opera afficienados (which should be afficienadoes because of potatoes), but it is all but gone now except, again in Japan where it is the Croak Crique and quite confusing for frog-lovers (flog-rovels?) who have attempted to join.

Now, back to the program.

All this demonstrates the typical Ripper herd mentality. Have none of you thought of joining a coterie?

[mariab]

Perhaps we should consider joining The Cottery, along Lady Diana Manners, to improve our ill manners.

I would Welcome Back Cotter-y.

Hello Dave. I'm SO confused.

Cheers.

Lynn, what Dave and Tom refer to is some kind of American TV show starring J.K. Simmons.

[Tom_Wescott]

J.K. Simmons? You mean Gabe Kaplan. His dreams were his tickets out.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[mariab]

Oh, OK. Then it's a different sitcom. His tickets out of what, Brooklyn?

[lynn cates]

Vinnie

Hello Maria. Yes. Look at my post and think, John Revoltya, er, Travolta.

Cheers.

[mariab]

And who's Vinnie, Lynn? Vinnie the Pooh (Vinnie the poo)?
(I know, I'm SOOO revolting.) Vinnie the skybalon, like you taught me on another thread.

[protohistorian]

Lynn, it was a 70's sitcom. Gabe Kaplan as a teacher in new york.

One of the kids always wanted out of stuff, he would bring a forged note that was signed Epstein's mother instead of with her name. Dave
