As to noses, well . . . they are the largest things on our faces and insist on commanding attention. It is a battle that I fight with mine. But yours is a lovely nose.

I think maybe my nose comes off more prominent than I intend it to, if this is the comparison that is drawn. No…?

Amanda Mae, has anyone ever told you that you bear a resemblance to Ethel Barrymore?

Only when you began posting as yourself, though under the cognomen of Jandek, did I say to myself, "A-ha!" Your Jandek mimicry had me buffaloed for a while.

Especially since I know almost nothing about Texas or the sorts of things the real Jandek might loved, and I feel certain Jandek would know very little about the sorts of things I have some vague familiarity with. I'd be much better at pretending to be Alex James from <i>Blur</i>, I promise you that. Yes, yes, I know I am terrible at pretending to be Jandek.

That's what studying rhetoric in college will do for you. Or maybe just having a good ear. But I was just too damned lazy to do the obvious in order to solve the mystery. So nothing was ruined by your revelation, Cindy. And I too am happy to have Amanda Mae here. She is -- to borrow a phrase from a friend in Bath (that's in England) -- "smart as a sack of stoats". And cuter'n a bug, too.

Amanda Mae, it's a thrill to have you here! You're right, I figured you to be Jandek right quick, but I was careful not to ruin it for anyone. Well, I guess I ruined it for Sheila. Shit, Sheila, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin anything for you. I'm just, you know, curious. Like a cat. Carry on, kittentits.

But then this is how welcome sounds. It's spelled "kittentits" but pronounced "glad you're here." I reckon. You should know better than not to tell these people who you aren’t.
