I'll confess that Imogene Coca's image is far superior to either mine or Willie's, Stewart -
But to ease the sting of that observation I feel compelled to note that Willie did beat the JéBêWèX to the punch by nearly five hours in advocating for female emogae (of which there is a dirth on the NGDF). See Willie's "pps" on his post at [ngdiscussion.net] . . .
