douchemun, looks like you have been busy with the imposter handle, here.
can't you come up with your own handle names instead of hyphenating existing handles like mine and tracy etc? how about catpee-waste? would suit you best.
and how come you haven't thanked for my giving the link and the checkerboard with rest of this cryptics in full -the link from which you stole, w/o acknowledging?
