Wabbit, that's pretty good list- it conforms to my "General Rule" |

I don't care for Springsteen that much, but he's got a great band. |

I don't care for Springsteen that much, but he's got a great band. I did, in fact, mean Bands with a place name and "Bay City Rollers" are honorary list members though "Bay City Rollers" isn't technically a place either... Do you think "Styx" counts?
and as far as Bruce... You and Cliff should just be locked in a closet. |

And yes, "Stynx" counts. |

Location: Upper Left USA | As a general rule, I don't like to make general rules.
You may also considering the following since it is Friday:
Don't volunteer for anything and admit to less.
Don't sweat at work or $h1T at home.
Never eat more than you can lift.
If the meal is cheap, offer to pay. Next time it's their turn.
The Riggers Motto - stay out of the bite!
Start out slow and taper off.
Alternate your arrival and departure times so as not encourage any possible terrorist contact; go to work late and leave early. |
