Carolyn hates to point out that most of these TBAYs were invented by 
Americans. Go figure, as I think the saying goes. Anyway, you can now 
blame Jen and Boyd for the following being added to the list:

(SHH) JAM TAKES BIBS
AIRSHIP FANCY
BADD ANGST
BADD ANGST - Part II
BARKEEP
BB GUN
DRIBBLE
GRIMS
KITTENS & RAINBOWS
MAD
OCELOTS
another version of PACMAN
PINESAP
PS I LOVE ME LETS KISS
SINAS
SSHARP OWW
TOUCHE
WARPS
WINCH
WINDOW SILLS

BTW (purely for reference, you understand), could one of you tell me 
whether a US 'slap upside the head' might mean the same thing as a 
UK 'clip round the ear' ? I've always wondered. Does the US phrase 
sort of equate to 'doh, what an idiot' or something tougher ? The 
English phrase is a bit sharper, as in 'that lad deserves a clip 
round the ear', ie a pretty sharp (actual) slap (before they banned 
it).

Ah, now, Philip Nel is from, erm, Kansas is he not, a professor of 
English I believe. He asked the list a lot of good questions at one 
point, which they had a fine time answering. I think the elvish folk 
would find it helpful to have these marked up, so I am going to add a 
Philip Nel code down in the Admin section. (They have a plan to 
revive some of the questions I think for the main list).

Ginger could you note this too.. I've only just thought of it, sorry.

Here's a bit from 37540 written by Porphyria:

Still thinking about this one. Here's some metaphysics for those that 
fancy it. Is the notion of respecting or disrespecting authority a 
moral question, perhaps even a sin or a virtue? Or might you classify 
it under freewill, choice and fate ? And what would you call it 
anyway, if you had a new heading?
