It seems that Lews was in charge of the post I quoted because only Lews makes such egregious mistakes. An album is not, as my esteemed collegue in harrassment would have you believe, a flat piece of plastic with grooves used to store audio files. An album, musically speaking, is actually a collection of recordings that are stored together on one form of media or another. A music CD, cassette or record (also called an LP) with more than one song is called an album. What Lews was referring to is an LP or a phonograph record.

Unfortunately, while he may suggest that I am high on gasoline, shoe polish and windex, it is he who is suffering from brain damage (a Pink Floyd song).

Live and learn Lews, live and learn!

And now, I shall retire to my bunker, firmly ensconsed behind several layers of bomb resistant materials. I don't want to be in the open when Lews fires back, after all. He will fire back...he is ornery that way.

To the Honorable Mr. Dean,
May I call you Howard?

As anyone who has experienced life's pleasures for more than a few decades will tell you, the word "Album" is a colloquial term for a "Phonographic Album"

(not pornographic you degenerate).

Even someone as repressed and passive aggressive as, oh I don’t know, say yourself, should not require a complete definition when a single word might suffice.

One of the lessons we (Mad and I) are trying to instill in our star pupil is an economy of words. This implies a shared vocabulary with the reading public.

While you may be technically correct, in an anally retentive kind of way, I would no more insist upon the words phonographic album than I would have need to say 'motion picture show' for a movie or 'foppish dithering dilettante' for a certain literary critic of our mutual acquaintance.

I do hope this clarifies our misunderstanding.

Most respectfully yours
Lews.
