Before Steve Forney jumps in here with his strong W. C. Fields accent, just let me say,
"Ah, yes - Gilson-ite. Reminds me of Anthra-cite which reminds me of the time I rode the
Lacka-wanna Rail-road deep into the wilds of the far North-East during a fearsome blizzard
to visit my girl-friend, Miss Phoebe Snow ... It weren't a fit night out for man nor beast!!"
