Well, of course I have choked herring. And I have chucked herring. And smoked herring. (Yes, they are hard to light, Rapaire.) I'm even hard of herring. I'll clam up, now.

As the time draws nigh, I'll say I hope youse all have a great time. Raise a jar for me. Maybe next year, I'll be there to raise a jar wit' yas.

Drink lots of cold water and walk slow.
