[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] Just want to point out, just in case it’s necessary, that this answer needs to be counted in with the “Deep Throat” answers. [/QUOTE] Yeah…sorry if that causes confusion. I wasn’t sure if I should still call him “Deep Throat” but I figured, since we know his name, I might as well honor him with it. ---
