Mbo - lemmee sniff that Iced tea you're drinking, I think someone may have spiked it...or did you get it from Long Island?But I haven't had a recliner spinning contest in years...did you ever have piano stool twirling contests? The trick was to twist it right out of the socket yet maintain your balance so it spun on top without tipping over...while still sitting on it...most spins won!
