So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

"Who is Shaw Stackovitch?" asked Jem when we received an email advertising a concert featuring the man on the left. Laughed so much we almost cried, then went on to make list of others like Bee Thoven; Proko Fiev; Mal Err; Chai Kovsky etc etc. After suffering the ridicule Jem pipes up that anyone can make a mistake and gets young admin worker guy to come over. She points at screen and asks him to pronounce it. He gets it wrong. "See" she says and explains the background to him . "Oh" he says, "you had to bring me down with you!" Jem now feels very very bad and the tears are rolling down our cheeks.
