Gary:

Thank you for the high praise. Certainly I would be honored to accept the
Prima Award. Now that
we have that behind us, let's look at your post carefully, shall we? As an
amateur forensic psychologist I was truly challenged to find the OM
content. But,
alas, I do believe you cleverly hid them as follows:

-zooming consonants in "I'm soooooo happy for you." 

-certain photographers might, on a dare, wear "pumps"
for elevation

-the "foot" reference is, of course, related to
flash, flasher, flashing, etc.

-"stop arguing with me" is a common control issue
response when photographer (A) and camera (B) disagree
on the sufficiency of available light.

-Why you would be "furiously paging through your copy
of Sergei Prokofiev's score of "Cinderella" ballet" is 
beyond me! Most of us just buy the CD, play it as
background music and call it a a day.

I must admit, I am genuinely confused by your last
point and can find no clues as to its OM content. 
You wrote, "Boy, what a relief!  Finally, I can bury my 'only slightly
soiled' tutu."

Generally speaking the experience of relief, especially of the magnitude
you imply, would more than 'slightly' soil a tutu. Perhaps you've simply
underestimated your capacity.
