you sweet savage.

When I was a wee lad of 11, some of the other kids were talking about this guy "sweet savage" who had apparently survived some horrific crash.

I thought that was a cool name, so I added him as a character in our pantheon of characters in the fantasy world where my brother and I told stories.

It was only last year when I went to search for a video of the crash that I learned a few things I had wrong.

1. His nickname was SWEDE Savage. Not Sweet Savage.

2. Although he initially survived the crash, he later died from an infection during his recovery.

One may, of course, wonder why I am relating this apropo of nothing, in a reply to myself no less.

It is just a prolix, and hopefully mostly harmless way, to kick this thread.

Also, like Kiki Dee "I've got words in my head so I say them..."
