- Just the other day, I was walking down the street, on the ice, when a passer
- by tapped me on the shoulder. I was horrified, for a moment, as I thought
- the he would ask me for the time. As I do not wear a watch, this would
- have been most embarassing. I was most relieved when the gentleman did ask
- his question, for it was, "Excuse me, what's a Spagthorpe?"
-
- I managed to recount several stories relating to the lengendary marque, but
- I'm sure that there were many inaccuracies and that I was missing many
- important points.
-
- Has anyone been keeping track of the pieces of the Spagthorpe puzzle, as they
- have appeared on the net, including the details of Spagthorpe's origins
- (both real and really in our minds)? I would be most grateful to have
- the whole story, should I ever be querried on this topic again.
-
- BTW, it is drawings of Spagthorpes that should appear in the corners of the
- bandanas.
