"If they mean the Twin Cities I think they mean..."
I think that although there are a lot of "twin cities" pairs, only Minneapolis-St. Paul uses "Twin Cities." Other groupings are the Tricities, the Quad Cities, the Grand Cities, and so on. "If we've covered this territory before..." I completely did not notice the hidden joke in there. If we(Katy Jane and I)'ve covered this territory (the Upper Midwest) before... Ha ha, I made a funny. You get my TV? So that's where it went!

Thank you, Zeke, for kindly coming to praise TripHammered and not to bury it.
 Seriously, you've always been TripHammered's biggest cheerleader, and I truly appreciate it. Thanks to all of you for your kind words.Now I'm going to have to work on using "Ave atque mallet" on a regular basis.

Thanks for the chuckle, evay. "coming to praise TripHammered and not to bury it," brought to mind an old gag from the Reduced Shakespeare Company. In about a minute the troupe covered the plays Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra.
Austin (as Brutus): Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your rears! I've come to bury Caesar, so let's bury him and get on to my play... Austin and Adam: Antony and Cleopatra! Adam (as Cleopatra): Is this an asp I see before me? Ouch, oh, I've been bitten by a snake! Beargh! I have to yet again give full props to the Reduced Shakespeare Company for their role in furthering the popularity growth of the "humor through condensation" genre.

There was a king sitting in his garden when his brother in his ear poured a vial full of hemling.
Stole his crown, and his money, and his widow, But the dead king came down from heaven to haunt his son, and said "Hey, kiddo." I'm your father and it's your duty to avenge my death on Claudius. Kill him quick and clean and tell the nation what a fraud he was." The kid said "Well, I'll do it, but I'll have to play it crafty, But so no-one will suspect me I'll let on that I'm a dafty." Excerpt from Five Minute Hamlet, starring me (mutely) as all the male roles, Summer 2000.

You guys are never going to let me live that one down, are you?
Oh, and hemling/heaven and Claudius/he was, are absolutely awful rhymes. Just horrible. Almost as bad as ... as ... get back to me on that one, okay?

I didn't actually write them, and strictly speaking the rhyme is Claudius/fraud he was

Please don't tell me that I just have to go to his profile. After all, you can all see what I look like.
