OK, this comment is just so I can use this word verification:
hgjlgo - hig-el-jay-el-goh (1) a phrase used in Elizabethan-era doggerel. ( ...and a-hey, ho, hgjlgo... hey nonny nonny hey ho) (2) a voluptuous hired date. (3) Something you say when you use your "Get ouf of jail free" card in Monopoly.
