Right.  I heard that someone by the name of John Steinbeck did a cheap novelization of THE GODDAM PLAY back in the thirties.  Also there was that 1939 movie starring Burgess Meredith as George and Lon Chaney, Jr. as Lennie that ripped off THE GODDAM PLAY.

Skipworthy often begins with a "Cousin" greeting to whomever he addresses here.  Maybe that's why whenever he squawks up I start imagining what the common denominator of the rat-list could possibly be.  

Our primate cousins in the animal world are characterized by a refined development of the hands and feet, a shortened snout, and a large brain.  Nothing would necessarily preclude them from email capabilities.  

The problem with email is that there are no pictures.  Of course a picture would be of no help in supporting or denying Skipworthy's claim that he is not gay.  Likewise a picture would give no definitive ruling on his claim of European ancestry.   But at least with a picture we could rule on whether or not Skipworthy has a shortened snout like our other cousins.

PS    I think an "all mouse" version of Of Mice and Men would be cool.  And you wouldn't have to change title.
