You gotta figure no good idea goes unpunished. It could be worth a million bucks. |

PS - I got a fiddy that says Standingovation, Hal and Heather44DD were the same damn person. |

When I first saw this bandied about here I thought that you all were talking about that type of "string tube" but as it progressed I realized it was really just considered an inside joke here.
Maybe I should have mentioned it earlier..... |

I don't just post to see my drivel in print like some of the "higher numbered" posters.
