- "THAT'S where that quote came from!" exclaims Merlinvin delightedly. "I
- *knew* someone had written that, and one of the reasons I keep offering
- earscritches to the various patrons here is to test that hypothesis. I
- did have a Significant Other once who did not like earscritches, but she
- also suffered from a screwed-up temporal-mandible joint (TMJ), so I could

-
- Merlinvin, having all sorts of fun, continues scratching StM's ears,
- as the big Kzin begins to purr contentedly...
