Tell Linda to rescuscitate her own dang dormant thread.  That'll show her.  Also, have her say how to spell rescuscitate.  This doesn't look right.  

You know, the immortal man words "I FORGOT" come right before "I'VE BEEN SHOT."

Yup, that was his funniest character, I agree.

Of course he knew what I was talking about. He's the Ace Man Jester.

I didn't know though.  Happens a lot when you get to be my age.

What are you talking about.  No time to look up what word? "ho-ob?"

Geeze, you're getting as obscure as the rest of the folks here.

Bilbo; my kingdom for a ring.
