like, in

But please tell us you are related to Genghis - don't
take this thought away from us...

Man, Gary!  You dyslexic or wa'?

I'm more inclined to assume (or hope) that Wir Wee Global Moose is related
to one of *my* heroes (or "heroines" as in yester-talk): Madelin Kahn, one
of the greatest American comedians (or "comediennes" in yester-talk),
unfortunately taken away way too early.  She and Gene Wilder made a great
pair, bringing into movies a jazzed-up version of the most worthwhile (or
only *real*?) type of American humor, which is rooted in Jewish spoof and
vaudeville tradition of Old New York City.

Who can ever forget Madelin bursting out in song, such as "Oh, mystery of
life, at last I found you!"?

Now there's a great woman!

Tata!
