Maybe it’s late and we should be in bed (Adventures In Babysitting) or maybe it’s the Scotch and water…

But, it’s been an hour since I read this, and I’m still gigling.

Well, I didn’t know. But I’ll still continue to use that word… no offense meant to you. 🙂 BTW, what kind of sandwich was it that it ate?

Hmm… you are a font lover, aren’t you? I’ll ask **Spoz** … apparently, he’s got a buncha fonts on his computer, too.
