@Philippe: Kinda opposite to metric, old avoirdupois or hexagesimal with the "first" in the past weeks. It was "6th", now it's "12th" (after show), or "20th" (total). Though 20th total would be metric, and vigesimal.

I'm convinced that Gus Bodenheim is the kind of man who would, during a protracted oration when suddenly overcome by a sudden and unexpected urge, exuberantly release a resonant burst of flatulence and simultaneously strike a match with a flourish and waft it around while continuing to speak as if nothing untoward had happened in a display of elegant grace which other unsophisticated mortals, like myself, would fail to muster with such deft nonchalance. At least, that's the vibe I get.

I somehow managed to find my first NYC apartment on Craigslist. It was the middle room of a railroad but rent was cheap and it was across the street from a park!

i intend to try it again in a few weeks to find a housemate. i don't have high hopes, but i know that decent people still use it. at least i know how to recognise the bullshit right away ( i think) so i don't waste too much time with that.

Hmm, Canterbury's is apparently "Cantuar". Since they have a University now, it's also used in their abbrs. Ultimately Canterbury and Kent come from the local tribe, the Cantiaci, and Canterbury as "Cair Ceint ("stronghold of Kent").
