I knew it. You see, I really do have everyone pegged---
especially if I can just get the hang of Australian slang.

Yes. I was going to add a prediction for Brett
(his impression following the atomic bombing of
an American city) that would consist of him studying
for several hours yet further international law,
historical precedent, and the Geneva accords, and
finally concluding that the Americans had every
right to strike back. But I like your parody of
the Paatch/Grant dialog better.
By the way, did you see that our prolific friend has
just cracked the 100K barrier?
Break out the champagne for Brett Paatsch, everyone!
I knew that someday someone would post 100 kilobytes
of composed dialog! ("To thine own self be true",
today, at about eleven o'clock this morning.)
