... your dribble is becoming just that ..

I suppose you mean drivel, though the two words originally meant the same thing: drool. However these days they have become differentiated. When you mean to criticize someone else’s speech as stupid or pointless, the word you want is “drivel.” ... which of course is all my psilocybin-induced rantings are, though your (correct use of the word by the way) reference to Part C man eludes me.

To yet again misquote old Billy the Bard ...

Full fathom five my father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them - ding-dong, bell ....

... as Sellar and Yeatman asked in one of their Test Papers - ("Do not on any account attempt to write on both sides of the paper at once") ... Captain, art thou sleeping there below? ... No, but I soon will be ...

"Good night, sweet princes,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!"
