Well, I think this is really very funny, even though I am a Christian
and not ashamed of it.  Even though, however, this is very funny,
in fact I am ROFL, your mamma ought to wash your mouth out with

  Where on earth did you get this nonsense from? What he sings is "Do you

This brings to mind a remark made by Sven, the Swedish friend of Brad's
sister's family, when they visited Stockholm. We were eating at a restaurant
in the Old Town, and the waitress was taking orders. I and Sven ordered
beer of course, but the visitors wanted Coke and water. Sven instructed
the waitress, in Swedish: "And it would be nice if you could bring lots
of ice. These people are crazy about ice." I guess it's the same with
air-conditioning.

Actually, you would have been in trouble on only one count... there's no
law against a Satanist being able to marry people (although I don't really

My daughter always cried when I sang "Leaving On A Jet Plane" and
she always laughed when the elephant sneezed in "Animal Fair."  My
daughter told me years later that she was the only one of her
generation who knew all the words to Cole Porter songs, because
she spent several years listening to me sing them to her to put
her to sleep.

It was last night.

It was only a sub-event, though.  Plan on Portland July 4 for the annual
Big Event.  And since you missed the New England sub-event, you'll have
to come to Mississippi for the March croning.

That would be great!  Maybe Susan could be in charge of the ceremony since
she knows all kinds of good croning info.
