    I enjoy the gratuitous use of Ecstasy of Gold in these little videos.

    They were all me except fpr the babe.
    Then, again, I was younger last week.

    And more "fit."
    And faster and more elusive.

    Thanks for asking.

    So what word did he mean instead of "recalcitrant"? Miscreant? Recreational nudist? Reactionary?

    Or is he coining this word as a noun?

    Random House Unabridged Dictionary gives a third definition of recalcitrant as a noun - a recalcitrant person.

    As usual, John is broadening our knowledge of the English language with his commentary.
