Stacer:  Yeah, I noticed that too.  Blame Fell; that's one of his titles.  However, a few of mine are gender-specific too.  I keep meaning to go in and change that.  

But, is there a non-gender-specific version of husbandman?  Husbandperson?  Husbander?

Well, the obvious female analogue to "Husbandman" would be "Wifewoman."

I wouldn't fair such a poop smith as yourself, MoD, to understand the writhyness and intricities that come with being a student of nature.

And as for JP, I see his cleverosity is beginning to come par with mine. So I think some certain ninja's need to be air mailed to a small continent. Go! Speed Racer! Go!

what I worry about is the possibility that he's NOT insane.

Considering I spend time on IM talking to him, what I worry about is that his insanity may be contagious.

And so it seems a perfect time to bring up the where abouts of where my insanity came from. Well lets all gather around the carnivorous cannibals and listen.

It all began about 4 years ago, I was a freshman in high school. I befriended some people, but one of them was not like the others. He was the one that "didn't belong." And I've been friends with him ever since. But over the years things rub off of people, and with him it was the same. But nothing totally useful rubbed off, nope. Why what rubbed off was his insanity. So now I've been getting insaner while he gets saner. Crazy no?

We aim to please! (Sometimes.)   I figured that since that you and Fuzzy were both on the same level, and you were both female, if the class title was going to be gender specific, it might as well be specific toward the ones who actually had it.
