Hey, ya think I make dis shit up?
My sister in law, the naturopath, told me that she lived in a yurt on a
nudist farm in Oregon (they were nudists who farmed, although no doubt some
of them gave birth to babies who were born nude, and no doubt stepped
barefoot in cowshit, or crawled in same, but surely it was organic cowshit
and therefore OK).
Now you, Mr. Metropolitan Historic Structures Association, tell me it's
really a Ger. My guess is it's like Peking, Beijing, and Bekins.
Which reminds me, I am told that the original Sharpshooters were an elite
group formed by a Col. Burden (probably of NY, likely progenitor of certain
high society cuties) who used Sharp's rifles in da Civil War. Don't know if
they were inherently better (sharper) shots than anybody else, but their
rifles may have been somewhat better, and in any case they were Sharp's
shooters.
