"This is an American day whose origins are obscure, and whose point -- 
to talk nonsense to each other -- isn't entirely clear."

Why go on?  Well, we have a page to fill.

[There follow remarks on...gibberish vs gobbledygook...doohickey

Goddard" (he may be thinking of Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can

Any questions?
