Subject: Bout Decided
I been readin this list for a few months now and I bout decided alla yalls crazy! Never seen such a fuss bout a saloon. And caint nobody keep up with their dogs and cats. And somma yalls got to be members of that commie Mensa outfit way you're throwin words around. I uz gonna write a nice little number about how taxes was gonna be the ruination of uz all but I don't wanna tick nobody off so I think I'll just keep the trap shut. Caint imagine how alla yalluda made it in the ol days without a neighbor for miles.
Speaking of words, though, there is one Chatameccentric point I'd like to bring up. We members seem to be vacillating between two 'nicknames' for ourselves---Chathamohican and Chathamites. I'd like to be the first to propose that, if we must collectivize ourselves, we choose to be Chathamohicans....I keep waiting for someone's typing finger to slip and call me a Catamite. And down here in the South, them's fightin words!
Howard, the tax guy
