      that that is a very good question.

      Call me Sometimes Can Du.

    Methinks the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Anonymistas
    do be related to the late great Ike Can Du.

    Methinks Anonymistas #3 and #4 do be related
    to Jean Cocteau, Mrs. CarPeo, and Lewis Carroll,
    who once said "Odalisques are ooh la la!"

      Close but no candy, Mr. WrongBoy.

      That quote is not from Lewis Carroll.
      It is from Jerry Lewis.
