Jim's last name is spelled Carrey - Drew's is Carey. Glad you didn't go
with Kerry - since here in the US that relates to a certain prez candidate's surname..... On a side not, I did see a funny bumper sticker the other day - not on a car though. was in a window and it said "Flush the Johns" with the proverbial red circle & diagonal line through the names Kerry/Edwards. Got a chuckle outta me. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

itty (Sherry ) had some very interesting things to
say about Eye Candy: Yeah, it wasn't exactly a cliffhanger. I saw an old Titanic movie the other day...at the end, the "men" on board were gallantly singing some song as the ship went down. I thought that was kind of a hoot. "Nearer My God to Thee," I think. The band *was* playing that as they went down. Actually, there's some controversy about that. Some survivors claimed the band was playing "Autumn" and some claimed "Nearer my God". Some say they never heard "Nearer My God" at any time. The only thing they all agreed on was that for the duration, the band played light ragtime music. See http://www.snopes.com/titanic/lastsong.htm for more info on this one. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

Isn't it just amazing that they were able to play *anything* under those circumstances. Sherry |
