Monsignor, n., my uncle, now deceased.
I have often been called a lesser Lord but then again I have often been called a variety of things. Not all of them nice or complimentary.
I think Karen wins my vote for sheer lunacy although I do like the amoeba's response.
Wow, C.J, thanks for playing! And now, here without further ado is the Fab Four's rendition of "You make me want to shout"
Happy clicking!
Flag acknowledged.
Anonymous, you just managed to gross me out. Well done.
Terry, you're over my head with that one. Help a feller out?
TLP, you flatter.
Thom, you too, prolly.
Amoeba, that's just MonsignorKoko.
Karen, you go ahead then.
Really, Sauerkraut?
C.J., wait around. You might be called more things.
Karen, you're kind of a full-service commenter.
Actually, Karen, I was thinking more along the lines of hi-YAA!. But whatever rocks your theater - and not my noggin.

Gee, Amoeba. What are you some kind of song and dance man, or something there?
