Damn now I’ve got ‘we are the Champions’ running through my brain. And I’ve got **work** to do dammit. Ya know **Fenris** , this is getting almost ho-hum old hat. I’m running out of complimentary phrases (and they don’t expect a new shipment in at the dollar store for another month). You are, sir, umm [sub][sup](digging around in the bottom of the bag to see if there isn’t one last one left in there - YES, found one!)[/sup][/sub] unparasoled (got that one on the ‘factory seconds’ table). ---

I’m not usually a practitioner of “me too” posting and I don’t intend to start now. However, I need to point out that I was unable to read either composition - I had to “listen” to them. An admirable effort, gentleman! ---

My office thinks I’ve frivolous enough as it is without hearing me go off into gales of hysterical laughter… ---
