This last comment is typically astute. Of course "Lvov" used to be "Lwow"

You mean it's not "Lemberg" any more? I have such trouble keeping up with

Personally, I cannae stand W. Allen's brand of humour, yes I know, his
daddy was a N.y.c. cab driver, & yea I even know all about Mia's
troubles & trials, over Woodies love & lust for the young, adopted
Korean, female child. Is there something amiss with my distaste for this
mans play on humour, or is it simply not being able to relate to the
'geek'? Please help with suggestions, I like involuntary laughter..
