assistant: Hi ya Chuck,
 That Sysop rule book has a lot of rules eh?
 No, I mean in the first year and a 1/2; at different times. See?
 Would have been a good concert though eh?
 Oh? Not in my books it won't!
 And what do you find so funny about that?
 Yep, I guess they did!
 Well that's the good then eh? Did you listen to them? <GRIN>
 Ya, from the movie I watched they do! They like things like Journey, Bon
Jovi,
 Styx, REO Speedwagon!
 They would, would they? Concrete Blonde would be?
 NOT!
 Cute!
 I didn't think so! I said not to judge a book by it's covers! <GRIN>
 And Lisa Marie would do this? For money? She doesn't have enough of her own?
 I thought she hated him!
  You like that name? I bet she doesn't!
