Amazing that you could come up with the word "ampelopsis" while drunk and furthermore spell it correctly while drunk.
I first ran into that word in a Lord Peter Wimsey short story when I was a kid and just glommed onto it. I typed it v-e-r-y slowly, but had no trouble spelling it ... as opposed to a LOT of other words!
I nearly choked on my beer when I got to where your Ray calls Fraser "bubbele". Yiddish-speaking!Ray. It just felt natural to have him do that! I remembered talking with you about the possibility of Ray having a Jewish background and it bubbled right up into the fic!
And describing a line of dialogue as really sounding like Fraser-speak is high praise indeed!!! Thank you! ♥
