Somehow I missed this. However, I love animals in general, so I guess if need be, I can manage to appreciate her goats. If they are sweet and loving. From afar.

So, don’t you realize that this gives you a golden opportunity to step into the breach? Come on, man, get into overdrive here!

Scotti, I think DRY has a thing, you know, a THING, for goats. He keeps talking about them! FTR, I have no goats. I think I’d have to get special permits to own such things here in Hawaii. And on perhaps a related note, he still hasn’t answered my question about how many women he’s asked to marry him. [sub]Told ya I was gonna return the love, didn’t I, sweetie? 😛 ---

Dig your grave a little deeper, sweetheart. We’ll put a little thin ice over it, and then after the tar and feather treatment, we’ll push you over in that general direction. That should solidify the tar. Luvya, hon!
