. I haven't heard that specifically, but the idea has lent itself to considerably wordplay, and I've seen a number of variations on the theme. This particular one is certainly understandable, though it seems a little wordy-- but then so are we here. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| The word that bothers me is 'fanatical'. Is the 'support' provided too enthusiastic, too eager? Perhaps the word has a new positive connotation I fail to see? |
