> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sunshine \* > And hey, that’s **with** shrinkage? My god man, was Secretariat your father? Ok, I’m assuming you’re complimenting me and not making some disrespectful remark about the sexual tastes of my mother. If this is true, you are now on my laminated list. BTW, I never congratulated you, Silo. Welcome to the 4-digit club. I remember when I first hit 4 digits, I got that same feeling I get every time I clean the cat litter box – I knew it had to happen, but I wish I had more important things to do with my time. ---

BratMan…of course I would never make any disparaging remarks about your mother! It’s just that…well, a unit that big had to come from _somewhere_! :eek: Laminated list? Really? ::: checks out Silo’s unit w/ x-ray glasses ::: ---
