Ummm,  Celia...  are you forgetting someone?  Namely, yourself!  I nominate
your post on "The Life and  Times of Hedy Lamarr" as (if not the most OT)
certainly the funniest thing that I've seen on this list.  But then again, I
myself posted to the list that I suspected I had gotten a lobotomy while in the
hospital in 1996.  Which prompted Walta's reply:  (another cowboy thing)  "I'd
rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!"

Why I am sharing this I don't know,
