BG> Prosaic adj. 1. commonplace or dull, matter-of-fact or unimaginative.
BG>              2. having the character or spirit of prose as opposed to
BG>                 poetry, as verse or writing.

RS> Laurentian class pathetic faking I see. Must be infectious.

BG> Pardon me?

No way, you are unpardonable too.

BG> I'm dead fucking serious.  Until the other day, I never
BG> even knew that prosaic had two totally opposite meanings.

BG> Oh well, at least I can correctly spell obsession,

And are anal enough to think it matters a stuff |-)
