Geez, Mafud!
Why do I feel like my 'Miata' just got turned into a rusted out 'Gremlin'?
I had no idea I was supposed to be ashamed of/and or have an inferiority
complex over picking Pentax 6 months ago. Is it too late for me to print
out some 'Canikolta' stickers and paste them over the 'Pentax' on my zx-5n
and lenses? Cripes, I hope they don't run out of Rebels at WalMart before I
get down there.

and black poo sitting on his desk--NOT!!)
