On behalf of eveyone assembled here, I would like to send a warm 
quad'ZILLION'millenium'THANKS to EAGLE'ran'pa?  AND if anyone is wondering 
what "Ran'pa" means? ...well, a long long time ago, I personally was 
kidnapped as a child on the streets of Buffalo, while checking out contents 
of garbage cans ..smuggled over & dropped off in Canada!  In order to 
reclaim my rightful heritage, Katey & Ransom adopted me back into the USA, 
as their "SONNY'boy",  but every time I go to cross the border, I get sent 
back, because they say I cannot take a whole car-full of Sleeman's Honey 
Brown beer with me.  After drinking it all, Canada starts 
looking  pp'pretty gg'goood, so I ferget 'bout moving.  True story! 
...believe it or not?

As an added bonus, BIDDING CAN BEGIN IMMEDIATELY, and I would like to make 
the first bid however, I won't spoil if for U'all ...by doing so!  :))

Let the bidding begin ..hope y'all have fun & enjoy?

thanx again Ran'Pa

..er so I've heard from <hawesj@atlantic.net> (Wizard of Awe's) who be down 
there gettin'suntan.  I was gonna go down there with Jim, to be his Cabana 
Bouy ..but again! ...I could not take the beer across, so I'm getting used 
to using snow as the beer cooler.  Our igloos feel pretty warm too! ..after 
a few?
