       Mmm... this ice cream tastes like a Midwestern twang.

       We don't have accents in the Midwest. Everybody else does.

       this idea is no joke, this is what i saw. I was in the subway and i saw a blind gentleman lead to a stairway by his seeing eye dog. They both stopped the blind person asked a stranger is the most polite sweetest voice "am i at a flight of stairs, is there a passage way between, which way?" then as if possessed by satan with the nastiest voice he leaned over and said to the dog "this is it, i have had it i am so tired of your shit let's go, i'm finished"   

       this experience perplexed me and inspired the idea, so no flavor here   

       and why does satan require a capital in order to be spelled correctly

       ZT the idea is based on this a. facilitate transition from from dogs guiding to gps guidance. b. teach them a thing or two about how silly it seems to me to be guided by a dog.   

       Also the system would have to be a hybrid of gps and cellular signal transfer and repeating, as you know gps does not work indoors and triangulation would have to rely on multiple signals.

       [ZT], you don't think Lord Lucifer might secretly relish such pervy spelling contortions?

       //because it's a (to use the jargon) "Proper Name"//   

       However, in this instance, the phrase "proper name" does not require capitals, since "proper name" is not a proper name.   

       // Your journey of inspiration and perplexement provides a certain dark frisson// That sounds like one of the phrases that you hear when listening to Dutch people and incorrectly believing them to be speaking English.

Evidently an individualist, like Tom Lehrer's friend Hen3ry.
