Rick, you'd better hope none of those people are still around -- they'd be compelled to kill you for an insult like that!

So . . . is that where all this stuff comes from?

And, if I moon the next wolf I see, will he love me? (I rather doubt it, but I had to ask.)

Well, since the moon (the celestial one, that is) is only in first quarter, they won't be werewolves, but I'm sure they'll be frisky anyway.

You reminded me of something a long time ago, from when I was married. Watching the evening news, and Connie Chung was at the desk. I sang out, "Everybody Wang Chung tonight," and my wife gave me a real dirty look and said, "Do you know what that means?" I just laughed out loud and said, "Hell, yeah," or something like it -- I mean, Connie Chung -- back in the 70's or whenever it was? What man wouldn't?! I think the wife's face could only have gotten nastier by breaking the laws of physics. She did have a sense of humor, but it definitely did not extend to including 'boys will be boys.'

Anyway, thanks for bringing a grin to my face.

Everybody have a happy new year, and celebrate safely. I'm going to be firing a mag out of my Saiga .223, and I just had the idea for a perfect target -- a 2011 calendar.
