And the beard story is beauty. I like the dinosaur expression; I might hafta steal it. I don't know how you people live where there's actual weather. I'm dyin' if we get 3 or 4 days of rain in a row. Carly, I am definitely going there next week. I can't wait to bust masticate on them. It'll be a lot more fun than expectorate (which we also did during Tom Sawyer). Thanks for the kind words.

Heck, when we did D.O.L. last week, I had sixth-grade boys falling out of their chairs because we had to change "blowed" to "blown." I'm NOT GOING THERE AGAIN.
