We sure do. Just watch out for some of the people here who'll sneak up
on ya when you least expect it...

Camel fights?  If it's the same thing, we always called them chicken fights
(one person on the shoulders of another).  Camel fights makes more sense...how
many times have you seen people riding chickens, except in Far Side cartoons?
Well, I won't be able to speak for my sibs, since I won't be coming this
summer.  How about it family, you going to take this guy up on his challenge?

Which one, Seuss or Asimov?

While we're on the subject of Dr. Seuss, I read Lee's copy of "Oh, The
Places You'll Go!"  I highly recommend it, not just for the
ever-wonderful verse, but also because it talks about subjects we can
all relate with: fear, loneliness and confusion in life.  An
inspirational book, I'd say.  See if you can find it at your local
bookstore -- it's at least worth a browse.

Yeah, but even Axl bared his butt later... (video of "Don't You Cry")

And hey, did anyone else hear the story behind the cancelled Chicago show
Friday night?  G&R were scheduled to play here, but the Cook County sheriff's
office agreed to serve Axl a warrant for his arrest for the Missouri police
(remember the riot a couple months ago?), so G&R just took off and flew to CA
to get away from the cops.  Can you believe it?  I feel sorry for those fans
just waiting for the show (it happened about 15 min. before they were supposed
to go on).

Good call, Blade . . . don't want to wear yerself out, wot?  ;)

Yeah, he shoved all his vanity and conceit into the Guru Andy
subpersonality/clone.  I'm sure the latter would LOVE to compete.
He'll lose in a major way, I'm sure, but heck, it'll keep him happy.

Yessirree, folks, Blade may seem spontaneous, but he got where he is
today through a lot of careful planning and attention to detail, such

motto, per se, but, ah, oh well, you get the point.
