That old Mystical Chinchilla LM site, Rue de la Perle, had a running joke about the definition of a palaver, so when he got to that part I really cracked up because it's always been... sort of on my radar, I guess, that that's a weird and uncommon word. Whenever I see it used I have to grin, though.

I don't know how I feel about Frances Ruffelle, actually. She's just so... hmm. I used to call her 'Jazzy Eponine' when I was in middle school.

'Juicy old man' is BRILLIANT, by the way.
