What are you doing up past your bedtime, young lady? And, it's not a kick me sign, it's a kiss me sign, and it's not on my ass, ahem.
Oh, I get your point, but I fell in love with the simplicity of the challenge. One way to measure us all....a risk the trolls dare not take up. Come on, you know you'll get a ton of votes, tell us how you think you'd do, and we'll just see, eh? I'd vote for ya, and so would Judy and a host of others, mebets. It's fun. Take the vow, take the vow, take the vow,....pooooleeeezzze! Going to bed here. Edg --- In [email protected], "raunchydog" <raunchy...@...> wrote: > > I'll vote for you Edg.
