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.

Thank you SRF. I immediately jumped at that one as well.

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.
