    I bet the medal is made of cheese, mmmm cheese.
    Who'd he have to surrender to in order to receive this honor?

    I don't know. I thought it was a great picture, but every time I searched for the story behind it, I just got references to more pictures. Even the dead tree where I first saw the picture didn't have any story to go with it. I guess you make up your own.

    I don't know either. I haven't ate since lunch and cheese sounds rather tasty right now, so where do I surrender?

    "I'm a Vulgarian" I've never been to Vulgarius. Is that here in our galaxy?

    "Thirsty for more terrible puns?" Only when French sailors are in port!

    Just don't ask me how much is a Grecian urn?

    Know how to make a hormone? Don't pay her.

    As far as what I planned, don't worry about it. Any time a guy named after a toy train makes good, I write about it.

    Did you know that Lionel was a very progressive company? They even had hookers on the company payroll!
    (They were paid HO scale.)

    Neil Young, the drunk lush 60's uber liberal has been from CSNY is a major stock holder too and an enthusiast too.. Although it doesn't make their product any more valuable, nor his crappy music.

    keep in mind I'm about 180 miles west of your previous home, sorry, but it's bed time for me. Have a great weekend!
