- In the hope that the 27th is the actual date of shipping, and on the
- assumption that, as one of the earlier subscribers, I'll be one of the
- first to receive a copy, I now claim that I get dibs on the following
- as the means of expressing my joy:
- O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
- I promise to complete at least a couplet.
- The signified of the phrase "get dibs on" may, I trust, be inferred
- from the context. Those who grew up in the American Midwest will, presumably,
- know, or at least remember, what it means.
