Abstract :
In response to "constructive" e-fan mail lamenting his occasional use of "big words," columnist Phil Emma takes us on a sesquipedalian jaunt through the realm of the intellectually curious--from the Blue Note jazz club, to a chat with dizygotic Abkhaz twins at Vabj, in Bhuj, to a formal description of the Three Stooges in Backus-Naur form.
