    I can't reply today, sarah.of.a.lesser...but remember, I still think Knut would at least be a middle-name contender. Just something to consider.

    Isn't "Knut" a unit of money from Harry Potter? Or did I just make that up?

    My boyfriends neck apparently sounds like a cement mixer the night after a concert of solid headbanging.


    I really thought this was gonna be "headbanging causes brain injury" which wouldn't surprise me in the least, but neck injury? State the obvious award for that one.
