Well, so long as we don’t get an **Andy Drew**. That’d be too much of a mystery to handle on a daily basis. [sub]Or would that be **nancyboy**?[/sub] ---

Don’t ask me why. Of course, when I do this at my brother’s, he’ll invariably ask if I’m on crack or something. For the record, I have never done crack or anything like that, so I don’t know where he gets it from. If she hasn’t heard me laugh crazily in a while from the computer room, my sister will ask if I’m alive… she says that’s the ony way of knowing whether I’m alive or not. Somehow, I don’t know aobut that… F\_X ---
