I think you have found the very book.  Thank you.  I'm ordering.

I also appreciated your additional background information, which will
help me place the book in its proper context when I read it.

One wonders why such things go out of print.  No doubt I'll find that
the language is pitched a little high for today's easily embarrassed
readers and that the text does not use a controlled vocabulary
approved by some body of reading experts who've forgotten that
stretching to something above their level is what makes better readers
and that mastery of a challenge, and not being spared exposure to one,
is how people gain in self-esteem.

thanks man, cool stuff. And for the commentor, that's badass I will
certainly check it out. Thanks!

This was my first experience with Google Answers and frankly I just
asked my question aout of desperation because I could not find the
answers myself and I was very frustrated. The answer was right on the
money. It offered a variety of stories about my subject, gave me good
references for continuing the search myself and arrived n about 12
hours! I could not have asked for better. Thanks Google - and
pinkfreud!

Pinkfreud,
Great answer!  Thank you so much.  This information was very helpful
and complete.

Just out of curiosity did you happen to see any allergy/decongestant
medicines that don't have Psuedoephedrine in it?  Also, if memory
serves me right, "psuedo" is taken from Greek and I think it means
fake, or false.  So it doesn't seem to make sense why one couldn't
take ephedrine if they're already taking fake ephedrine, if you follow
my logic???  Granted, I'm not a doctor, it was just a random thought. 
I'm curious for your opinion, you seem to be a great researcher.

excellent

Plus at least 5 more stars. Absolutely splendid answer/revelations and
a challenge to make queries equal to it. Many thanks.

I have you know that I posed this exact same question to the author of
the Imponderables series of books (such as Do penquins have knees? and
When do fish sleep?) - his name is David Feldman and he was stumped!
Great detective work! Thank you!

Very close to the exact thing I needed...can easily take it from here!

I love this service :)

I tried different combinations of words also. Maybe, if I would have
stuck to it longer. Thanks.

The question was answered very well and gave additional web sites to
inform me more about the subject.  Thanks

I searched clipart sites for an hour and 1/2 and found nothing close.  Thanks!

thought I forgot about ya?....nevah!  granny's no longer fully
engulfed so she can now pay you just desserts on this superbly written
and gustified essay.  you wax poetically on sitcoms like a west coast
promo-woman!  I'm afraid granny is clueless on some of these folks
you've mentioned and those in the gratitudinous comment section. 
granny better refrain from making sweeping wiskbroom statements when
she's obviously not done the 360-dial sitcom circuit.  as you might
guess from my moniker, I'm a *huge* Tony Soprano fan because the
series is so well stocked with malapromistic metaphors. it always
knocks me outta my rocker.  thanks again for offering some of your
fa-bu insight on comedy.  maybe there should be a "Pink Freud Show." 
I'd watch.  you're quite the cut-up, kiddo.  absolutely bang up job. 
viva Mrs. Pynchon and Corvairs!

PinkFreud on question ID #65546.  This researcher is fabulous and I
feel he went out of his way to give very helpful information and then,
he even left the question open so that another researcher could pick
it up if he or she had more to add.  I know that your researchers are
probably paid for answered questions so I felt that this was very nice
of him.  I finally posted that I was more than satisfied and asked him
to mark my question “answered. He was great!

Perfect answer.  Note: This question WOULD have been priced at $4, but
Google is now using radio buttons to force questions into silly price
categories.

Gets the details if pushed for it.

Dear Pinkfreud, 

Good answer!  I hope also hope that your brandy is Saurian, your blood
wine is chilled to perfection, and that you have unlimited dililthium
crytals for all of your journeys!

This was exactly what Iwas looking for.

Excellent work!  I also noticed what you found also during previous
brief search attempts.  You've saved me alot of work, and have given
me precisely the level of detail and information I was looking for. 
Thank you!

Poifect answser.

Nice job, thanks!

Zowie!  PinkFreud, you have done it again!
Thank you very much.

Fantastic!  Thanks for the help.

Excellent answer and you've given me a great tip (search newsgroups)
if I need to find the lyrics to another song!  :-)  Thank you so much.

The answer provided what may be "vital" information that I had failed to find.

Wonderful how a researched answer can put an end to useless debate!  Thanks.

Well done! :-)

/Lizardnation

Very helpful! Obviously some time spent on my answer! Thanks!

I realized a few hours after I posted my question that the group I was
vaguely remembering was in fact NRBQ; however, being a lover of arcane
and eclectic knowledge, I think your ability to dig up information
about NYRB is amazing.  Thanks.

Complete answer. :-)

Thank you very much.  Outstanding information!  I searced the web and
couldn't come up with too many results.  I will find the links to be
most helpful.  Keep up the good work.
