@Ken Collier: You’re not watching enough of The Daily Show.@ Finbar Gurdy: Well put, and I’ll raise you a pun – He saw the word Communist, and turned on his right-wing BLINKERS, and proceeded serenely down the highway of geriatric knee-jerkedness. I mean the thinking’s geriatric. Not him, necessarily.
Mrs. Olsen didn’t specify character, author, etc. Can Caulfield’s costume be Great-Literature related in ANY way? I mean, although I will always have a soft spot (in my brain) for the Stooges, Curly? Ehh, I think that would be stretching it, likewise Frosty the Snowman. VillemezBrown’s idea is probably too obscure, but deliciously so. And wouldn’t Robert be too obvious, and not relevant to the "certainly/certainly not comments? Ooh, I like this game…
A better question might be, what wouldn’t Caulfield do? I love, love, love Caulfield, I believe he is one of the great characters in American Literature, perhaps even surpassing his namesake. I also love Frazz the Fabulous Renaissance Man, and all the rest, even Mrs. What’shername (brain freeze), Caulfield’s bete noire — or is he hers? Hmm. Thank you, Jef Mallett, you hand me laughs, things to think about, and the occasional “Oh, NOW I get it!” later moment. Please keep doing it.
So glad you don’t have to deal with cable?!? I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with Twitter!
