welcome (&c.)
        an introduction sort of

Thanks for stopping by
There are hors d'oeuvres on the table
Be careful of the calamari
You know what they say about calamari

Anyway
Good to see you again or for the first time ever
Perhaps you are wondering (or not)
Why you are here
Not existentially but just for fun

Well I can help
The question on the table (beside the calamari) is:
What is a Matt Minnicino
Is it rare? Is it expensive? Is it legal?
Is it a frequent cause of allergic reactions?
'What about my diet' (you may wonder)


Well the Dictionary offers the following:

1. 
(adv.) very like a whale

2. 
(n.) constantly risking absurdity
and death
when he performs
over the heads
of his audience

3. 
(v.) lying through his teeth, 
from the French: lying through his teeth

4. 
(n) A playwright [mostly]; an actor [frequently]; a teacher [when he can be]

4 (a). 
a storyteller, always

well you've come to the right place (feat. lists and dates!)
