Dear Cunliffe,
 
Be very careful with this word!
 
C A L L I T H U M P I A N
 
 
CA-LL-I-THUMP-IAN
 
Ca = California; L = Leslie, LL = Leslies (in the pural); I = the Writer of the Message; Thump = thump; Ian = Ian.
 
This is another warning text from Ian.
 
He intends thumping, (punching), everyone he meets in California who is unfortunate enough to be called �Leslie �.
 
Fortunately, I won �t be visiting California.  Earlier this year, I answered an Attractive After-Sun Application advertisement and was adjudged Agressively Antagonistic and Amourously Audacious.  For this I was awarded an Appreciable After-August Accolade.
 
So, this year, for my holidays, I have accepted an After-August, After-Sun, Absence.
 
In Alaska.
 
In December, (because this year, December DOES come After-August).
 
 
Just think of me, lying naked in my igloo, (face downwards on the ice), covered from head-to-toe in After-Sun Application.

P.S.  This is an ESLP (Educational Site Language Problem).
QUESTION In the Inuit language:
 
�Igloo� = �House with Two Rooms�.
�Ig�      = �Big Room at the Front�.
 
�Loo�    = �------   ----   at the Back�
 
Please, send your answers, in a plain brown envelope, to Cunliffe, EPNS, Sheffield, Australia.

A person that hits (thumps) people on the head with cauliflower.
 
"Mary �s hair was a mess and she had little "snowflakes" of cauliflower sprinkled into her now disheveled hair--the callithumpian had struck again."
