![]() Irwin, any chance I could bribe you to find that Heavy Metal soundtrack and run your bicycle over it, or get your cat to chew on it? If it's destroyed, Matt will probably just find an MP3 of that moronic song, so maybe you could just add some severe scratches. I would never advocate such an immoral thing under normal circumstances, but Matt has driven us insane with that blockheaded POS song every week. Don Felder is the Antichrist. |

![]() @Jeff Moore@4:25, even if you've learned nothing else about me, you should at least have observed that I'm characterized by a significant amount of monomania. I sometimes regard that as a feature, not a bug. Though perhaps not at the moment. @Irwin, nope! |
