Hmmm...[i thot i'd *never* run into anyone more `innocent' than Mike]
Gharlane, i really don't know what to say to you about this...

Oh My GOD Meriday, What in the name of the green wizard are you trying to
say.  Surely you don't mean to imply that Mike sits around in his drawing
room waiting for droves of incredibly beautiful, brilliant, talented,
consenting women to come in and disrobe for him. 


          [ and if this were the case why did he only produce one ASCII 
            picture, but then again he did only produce 1 movie... 
            but that one isn't really complete... maybe he has hundreds 
            of incomplete ASCII pictures lying around... but then again 
            maybe Meriday's radiance knocked all the other images out of
            his mind... she does have that effect.;-D]

Ah, when were talking about THAT GREEN imagination who wouldn't be.  But
then, Gharlane, does this make MBK just a figment of Mikes Imagination?

              What does it mean to splutter?  
                This word is not in the dictionary (an growing up it
meant to cough mike out of your nose).

I won't even ask what Mike was doing *in* your nose in the first place. 
 
As for "splutter," it's as obvious a combinatorial as "decimate," 
what the Rev. C. L. Dodgson would have referred to as a "portmanteau word."
 
"Split" and "utter" combine to reference the classic "apical interlabial
unvoiced split fricative," or "Bronx Raspberry."    (See what attempting
an undergrad major in linguistics can do for your B.S. vocabulary?)

I'm sure there is a linguistics-jargon term for defining whether the 
observed utterance occurs with or without full-range saliva spray, 
but you get the idea.
