Ah ha ha... this is great... may we steal this?  We'll give you credit,
promise!   :)

Well... if you consider the skin softening techniques one could use to get the
necessary dull sounds from it then... oh never mind...  :)

Libby likes to dance but despises aerobics...

Ewe!!! :)  Is it Slag New-age Week and did someone forget to tell me?!

Libby works on quality rather than quantity... she likes to make every event a
marathon.

Libby's tongue is still longer...  :*)

That reminds me of her favorite mathematical joke:

Q. What's the square root of 69?

A. 8 something...    :)

Gargra Varr, Guardian of the Total Perspective Vortex, guesses 43...

Now that Pearl Jam tune is stuck in my head... thanks, eh...   :)

Adam again:

The hockey player says the best place to buy sticks is Player's Bench --
there's a wide variety available for a mere $15.00 (vs $1500) ... he prefers a
Vic, but has been known to play with a Koho or a Titan on occasion. And make
sure you don't follow the fad of using flourescent tape on the blade because
the standard black stuff camoflages the puck much better.
