What do you do that sounds impressive but isn't? Perambulate infants on the sidewalk? Engage in philately? Please, if it involves the release of copious amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas we don't need to know.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-02-2004 05:50 PM                        according to my workers comp case... i am a ....
