Dude! Don't fsck with the easter bunny! I knew this guy once. He started talking bad about Easter ... about how he though dying eggs was stupid and stuff ... that summer, his garden was _ruined_! He had all these lovely vegetables he had planted, and right when it was almost time to harvest (after he'd done all sorts of work for months, weeding and watering) BOOM! it was all eaten to the ground. I mean, there was nothing left! It was like a herd of rabbits just rolled through and ate everything.

I wonder if said Arizona team gets this kind of harassement? As well as the pro hockey team, and any other team that has such a name/mascot? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
