    Yes, Madam, but it's Xenophobe and no Xenophone, as you've written

    Well, the saying"Even Homer nods" applies but you probably can't stand him either because he's just an old Greek. I won't call you "ignorant" for a slip of the finger although you had no qualms about disparaging me for a similar lack of digital dexterity but I would regard you as a virago. Maybe your wig is not only askew but also has a shaggy fringe that is occluding your clear-sightedness. Of course, I'm a troll just as is everybody else who's not part of your cabal. You were worried that some of your favourites had decided to go on temporary release but you still have your "old reliables" wagging their tails in delight at your profundities. Some people are never satisfied. Grab all the affection you can because that oul' wig is a bit tatty-looking snd you can remedy the tummy-rumbling with a dash of the Angostura Bitters. A pair of Christian Laboutin shoes should, of course, be the "sune wua non" for anyone who demands "Call me Madam" and power pearls - so "in" at the moment and so reminiscent of Jackie O who, as you indubitably know, was of French lineage, which should strike a chord with you.
