Hey ho... i recognized two words before I read the translation:  libidine and
Cattolica.  :)

Actually I'd like to meet the Italian with a stiff moral principle.  ;*)

Oh my! You poor dear...  I take it you pissed off a knife toting Italian woman
with PMS, eh?  No question on why you can hit those high notes...  :)

Considering my maiden name, I'm surprised you haven't recommended this one to
me yet...  ;)

I like a man with nice tight puns.  :)

Oh wow, this sounds like way too much fun with breakfast cereal.  I'd love to
catch an entire performance!

No, there were no drums, just pastel ABS piping and long gooey tongue-like
appendages wagging.  Way past cool -- approaching frozen.

I was listening more than watching (we were eating dinner), so I didn't catch
this...

I think Mike does great soundtrack work.  His music was a big part of the
reason why I was so deeply affected by the movie _The Killing Fields_.  I was
an emotional wreck after that one...

Welcome to the list, Bob...  Libby is the *head* of the welcoming committe for
Canadian Bob's...  ;)

Yippee!  Friday!
