5. Dear Pond Scum:

please accept my apology and recognize that I was just searching for something with the characteristic of "sliminess" that could adequately convey the degree of slimefactor possessed by Crazy Danny Boy. I was careful not to compare him directly to pondscum - as that would be unfair to you. Appologies for the analogy.

PS if you can help me think of an appropriately slimy comparison that would work for Dan Burton, I would much appreciate it. ;-)
