QueenB is well-respected
What makes anyone think that writers are smart enough to know those five-dollars words?

Your may say your words are worth $20, but didn't I see you in a booth at the mall last week, selling them for $17.95 apiece, along with a chance to win a silicone spatula (choice of red or blue) in a drawing?

It's a lie! We were all out of red spatulas. You're a fine one to talk. How about you hawking used words at a flea market for $9.50, cash only, under the table?

Didn't I tell you that I have an identical twin brother, and wasn't it he whom you saw in the flea market?

Your identical twin brother, huh? Then how come the sign above the table read "Words By Nymtoc. We Won't Be Undersold" ?

Wasn't it because my dear brother has some minor, unresolved problems with the law and considered it prudent to use my name instead of his?

A typo? You could be right. If I'm not mistaken, isn't the name of Nymtoc's lawless identical twin brother, Numbtalk?

Yes, I have met your brother and would you believe he told me that you were Siamese twins and that your brains were separated at birth?
