This was folly. Her beauty mark is above her lip and she's seldom
sullen. It should have been just smily-Crawford : *)

Snip three paragraphs--You really like Briskets! Huh?
The first two suggestions were simply forbearance for the elegance
and beauty that is Briskets! The third a small jab at Mr Tea for his
failure to read the ASLG with his favorite beverage on a daily basis.
I vote for 'brisket'

I've never quite known what to call those bracket/asterisk
combinations that
can be used to comment-out blocks of code in scripts.
So I would like to humbly propose that we call them 'briskets'. As
in: "To
enable the positive response in this script, simply remove the
briskets".
I like the idea, but object to the word bracket. To me, bracket
exclusively refers to "[" and "]". They are parenthese/asterisk
pairs,
so I would prefer one of the following:
pasterisk
parasterisk
parisk
;-)
All you pedants! Forbear! Mr. Tea had the best, and most entertaining,
suggestion yet. None of you has a patch on "briskets". I like
"briskets".
(For that matter, I like briskets too.) Accept Mr. Tea's offering
(and I
haven't quite understood whether said offering also includes a warm
pot
and
its contents), or go off and ruminate until you come up with something
better.
