Someone posted about FRFF on the John Gorka list. He was > describing the wonderful Gorkaplansky sound. Gorkaplansky...I love it...why didn't I think of it??! And it is so versatile. It sounds like it could also be a good name for, say, a very intense nutritional supplement ("have you taken your Gorkaplansky today?")...or a complex power tool ("and, Bob, this piece of wood will be finished and ready to go onto the house just as soon as I've gorkaplanskied it!")...or, of course, a particularly large kaplansky (the imaginary animal I named after Lucy when she played at the Bridgeport Zoo after Alice Peacock at the Peacock Pavilion and I thought Lucy should get equal animal-name privileges...long story). Or a general benediction...I wish everybody a very gorkaplansky day!

As wonderful as this word is, I'm sure it is an even better experience. I've only experienced it artificially. I'm still dreaming about my first experience. May we all be lucky enough to be Gorkaplanskied at some point in our lives. When you are, be sure to post the details.
