The problem is that when I tried this, it missed the two clear hits
on "hang a Roscoe" that turned up on a regular google search.  If I
had just done the googlefight, I might have really thought I was
hallucinating with my memory of Roscoes d'antan, but there they were,
both of them, on the search.
So careful with those fights.  (Did I really say "quite low than what
I'd have thought"?  I guess I forgot to revise the earlier part of my
sentence when I changed the later part.)
