But how else will I be able to fulfill my dream of starting a Louisiana Iditarod?

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he’ll have mercury poisoning in a month’s time!

We used to play with mercury! REALLY! I have no idea why we even had it at the house, but for some reason it seemed to be plentiful in Amarillo, Texas, in the mid-60’s - early-70’s. We’d roll it around on the dinner table and bust a big shiny ball of it into about a thousand tiny little elusive balls…then try to roll them all back into one big ball again! I think I was the only one (of 4 kids) who actually ingested any distinguishable amount of the stuff. Mom always kept the Syrup of Ipecac handy!

CT, you weren’t born yet. Alright, HRB, but please never show my nephew-to-be this picture. He needs a fresh untainted start in life.

Post the pic if you like, but know that I’m sending the bill for my sex change to you and Suzie.

Other than that, want to see the pic?

When I was a kid, too young to know any better, my sisters used to put makeup on my and dress me like a woman. Relatively speaking, being draged around on the floor is way cooler than being dressed in drag. The psychological scars are deeper than I can go into here.
