Second question: what's your preferred locale for a Friday night FAP? (If a spot we've done before, no worries, but I'm always up for someplace new.)

I've had someone ask for (former) Germany's Culture Minister as "Mickey" before, so who knows! Back when he was a lowly publisher.

Dear M. White,
Is it worth trying to read Proust in the original French, or am I just going to end up frustrated?
This is for work, and very important.
XOXOXOX,
gbx

I was one of seven Michaels in 4th grade and I stuck to my guns. I'm less stringent about my nomenclature, now, but I don't recommend calling me 'Mike' to my face - I'm unlikely to respond.
Thank you, of course, first of all, Ken. Yes, of course I can use rastaquouère in a sentence but I prefer to take the fifth, if you see my point, especially if the fifth in question is of high quality.
jessie, dahling, whatever would we tell your parents? It's come as such a surprise. You'll have to let me think it over.
gbx, NON! It's only worth it for itself. If the two co-incide, by all means lis ton Proust in French. If you can't manage that, I hear there's a particularly delicious translation in German. Might be fun. Think about it.

Oh, and, Raggett, call me,
nom de Dieu! Heavens, man, I'm known to drink almost anywhere.
