My mis-spent youth involved a number of occasions where one was encouraged to do very silly things like crawl over single rope bridges in the dark. As a result of this, I am forever after obliged to insist that anything less silly doesn't count. :) The "wee dram" part reminds me of the rule about local delicacies traditionally consumed with strong drink. It's inevitably something dire and dreadful, consumed in penance and excuse for the strong drink. One is much better off simply consuming the strong drink and leaving the dire delicacy out of things. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
