Oh, well done! Much better than I'd hoped for when I made the phantom. Actually, what I'd been picturing was Father Jack from the BBC show "Father Ted". He has rather nasty version of Tourette's Syndrome that involves a mere two, or three, topics, depending on how you classify two of them. If you're not familiar with it, the show is well worth finding. --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 10:06, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)

−	Morbus, this is absolutely riddled with malapropisms, to say nothing of the big fat dangling modifier in graf 6.

Hmm, since I'm done with mine and the old brain-wheels are still turning, I may just work on one or two to add as scholar comments! --[[User:PhineasCrank\|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 12:58, 29 Sep 2004 (EDT)		You realize that I have a degree in Marketing, right?
