I have to admit this thread is a lot of fun. I should leave more often. Tweed, I am gonna have to explain more to you about Ashram life, aren't I? You're clearly describing someone's experience, but...um...well, who? And...one does not gain a Canadian pallor, one acquires it. (Sigh.)

Well, good night, ya flippin' losers! And, troll? Up yers, ya heathen bolthole!!! You can, like, kiss the glove, retread! Tell yer mommy I said that, and just take off, eh? :-) (*As Blind Drunk in Blind River would say...)
