   Jees Jeff,

   I wish I could find a dress as micro as that fiction of yours. (….thinks, where is Ayatollah Girl when you need him?)

   Man, I love it when he uses words like “busker”.  I got goose bumps here.  I haven’t been this pleased with writing since Jeff put “gob-smackingly vile” and “Wilfred Brimley” in the same sentence.  Booyah, as they say.

   Why do they call ‘em buskers?

   The verb “to busk” comes from the obsolete French word “busquer,” meaning “to filch, to prowl or to catch.” When “to busk” entered English around 1665, it was as a nautical term meaning “to cruise around, tacking with the wind,” and by 1734, figuratively “to seek.” By 1867, “to busk” meant “to cruise the seas as a pirate,” seeking prey.

    This is good.  It reminds me of a gorgon in a pool.
