Heh-heh.  If holden is the normative, it's obvious that neither spulling
nor gramma is tot in Tejas.  I mean I just tripped over him using "write"
instead of "right."    So if you're looking for clairol, you may want to
look elsewere.   And if he has to right a thesis to get out of skool,
well, he's going to be in skool a long thyme.

But to the wird used above. Given the context I'd say it's not "sperm,"
although the way he wanks off on the keyboard their may be some subliminal
approach here.  So my guess is it's either "spur" or "spawn."

Got any other ideas what it is supposed to be?
