(gag! urp!)

C'mon, Steve!  Miss Manners?!  With her cloying "Gentle Reader" and referring
to herself in the third person ("Miss Manners hates it when people throw
up at cocktail parties and rush off to the hospital without even saying
'Excuse me, I must go; I've regurgitated my liver'").  Her writing style
makes me want to squeeze her head in a pneumatic press until she screams
"STOP! STOP! STOP!" just so I can admonish her with a "SAY PLEEEEEASE!!"
