You're a wise man...cultural exchange is not for the faint-hearted, and it can be even tougher on some of the other organs...know when to say "Saya seboh warug, matur suksema" is my motto. | ||

Howard, I think you've confused some Japanese phrase with the backing vocal lines in "Lady Marmalade"...an easy enough mistake to make. "Voulez vous Suzuki Honda, c'est soi..." | ||

Hope there's butter with the marmalade, Wayang-san!! | ||

Hey Har--I mean Howard! You should write an Oz version of that tune: "Lady Marmite"...sticks to the roof of your mouth, eh wot? Ok, ok, I'll go to bed now... | ||

Er..... Vegemite is the real cojone, Dane. Marmite's a very poor substitute for the real thing. How does 'Lady Vegemite' sound? Working on it............ | ||

You're right again as usual, Howard...I was too enamored of the similar-sounding "Marm...", but the new version really should contain three syllables to preserve the original's iambic pentameter... Who says we don't get real work done around here? A good night's sleep and I'm rarin' to remember everyone's name correctly... | ||
