Hey, just checking in after an almost 24 hour hiatus. Got a bit burnt out on shoes yesterday and had to do some hefty work (the kind I get paid for, not this fun kind). Anyway, as a bit of a hijack, I was just wondering the other day, before **Squish** ’s lovely post there, does _Men without Hats_ refer to men who have been circumcised? Anyone know? Now I’ll be looking forward to some nice posts from **Ripple** with Grateful Dead songs with the word dance, and an equal number from **| Roger the Shrubber** with Pink Floyd songs about dancing. I gets a bit chatty when I haven’t been posting in a while, sorry 'bout that. And on preview, **TLW** , **Squish** was referring to the time between her (his?) post and **Jack Batty** ’s. ---
