AAAAAiiiiiiiieeeee! There's a mental image that may take months to
erase.

Oh, laugh it up, you thin-blooded southern slackers. Real men do
astronomy where you'd be running for hot cocoa and electric blankets.

Besides, now that we have the Big Unit, I am immune to your silly
barbs. Furthermore, I've already done my time in L.A. Two years in
the mid 70's. It was great... to leave.

And Jan, just a few months ago you were finding fully roasted
Broad-billed Hummingbirds in your pool, which may have been at the
rolling boil stage. And I have it on excellent authority that you
piped the ice maker into your box spring this past summer.

So...nyah.
