Damn. Er, I mean, I knew that. Yeah, I was just trying to increase my post count. Or something. * * * The odds that the bread will fall butter side down are directly proportional to the cost of the carpet. ---

Gaudere, could you post a link to pictures of your being a bodacious babe in a bikini? If so then we could objectively rate you as to whether or not you have the potential of becoming a good poster. I think you have the potential, but to be really objective one must see the pictures and then decide. It is all in the name of science. Jeffery ---

Alas, I have no picture online of me in a bikini with booze and a fast car and my slogan (good pick there, RT). I have one where Iā€™m on a jetski, but my bodacious bikini is covered by the lifejacket.
