Thanks, Om!

YA SEE FOLKS!!! It only takes one brave person with some sensibility to

Who's NEXT!?!? STEP UP TO THE PLATE! UNLOOSEN YOUR COLLARS!

Anyone care to one up Om and move the pesto from the munchie tray to the

Anyone??? I can't hear you!!!

Ya bunch o' stuffed shirts!!!

You'd think it was an Olympic event request. Sheesh!!!
