an amalgam of dentists

I can't claim this one. It's a contribution from my wife, Liz

another from Liz

a brace of orthodontists

I have to say Liz has given us a couple of very good terms. Is it some sort of phobia Pete

and several more that have worked their way out...

an assortment of confectioners;

a club of cavemen;

a ring of telephonists; and

a klan of racists.

This is without doubt the epitome of literary swanicalism. (JTS knows about the swanicles) (Spike)
I place before you what I believe is my best yet.
It is truly remarkable, given that I have been without rhyme nor reason these long lonely hours on the wild moors of Upper Ferretville.
Be prepared to be amazed as I post this little gem. Yes, I know I have my fans and it was their arrival at the rear of Jo's thicket, which sparked my brain into a supernova of intoxication and wordy exhuberence. As I sat on my toadstool to await the gathering throng I saw them from afar. Their headlights illuminating the hedgerows as these happy few, these noble few, made their treck towards my 'umble abode. I saw them and said to myself,
"Look, Byron! see for yourself. They are arriving in their 'droves, of cars'". I thank you. I thank you. I thank you.
BTW JTS, Spike was my hero. I miss him.

Is laughing out loud a confirming enough response, Byron?

How about continual laughing

, as I continue to think about it?

Your buildup lent it an extra-special something, of course

Dear Byron,
You wrote "without rhyme or reason". If, as I hope, you were referring to "Spike" (as in Milligan), then you have given this message board the biggest punch up the conk it's ever experienced, or ever will.
It's getting late: there's a stake-out in Henry Crun's factory: "what time is it Eccles?"
Andrew.
P.S. I know what time it is : I've got it writted down on a piece of paper. it says 8 o'clock.
