Try laughing more, Rob.
I forgot that you don't always understand humor in
e-mails. Maybe I should've put 'this e-mail is suppose
to be considered humrous and scarcastic' at the top.
What makes you think I was talking about the Christian
fundamentalist? I was talking about the Taoist fundamentalist.
and yes, 90% of the audiences they screen and let into
those MTV award shows *are* brain dead.
I suppose I should have put a smiley face or a heheheheheh
after each sentence.
Sheesh, excuuuuuuse me, why do I even try sometimes.
