[meteorite-list] Ad - 77 Auctions Ending, Great Stuff! & hors d'oeuvres...

[Jerry A. Wallace]

Hi Michael,

That would be " hors d'oeuvres ". (Probably akin to some rare type of

I have always pronounced that as "horse ovaries", which tends to raise
a few eyebrows at the fancier parties, but being Texan, I figger that's
close enough.
