felicitously named? thanks! {8^D but the moniker wasnt for anticipating
the singularity im afraid. there is a cartoon where a wolf is spotted
by a bulldog who bites him on the buttocks and wont let go. the wolf tries
whacking him with a stick, conking him repeatedly with an anvil (clank
clank clank), tries prying the stubborn animal off with a crowbar, all
to no avail. finally the wolf removes his pants and leaves them behind
with the bulldog still attached. for this resolute beast i was nicknamed.
i shall seek a copy of THE SPIKE.
is it carried by barnes and noble? borders books? spike
