sorry levy, I rarely nail 'em like this, but Susan and Glenn were in and the chart looked kind, so I thought I'd join.
Also got in on XLA this week for a sweet gain. Could be time to reallocate some GNET $$$ soon.

regards, brk

levy, I thought you might enjoy one of the e-mails I got from about.com. I get the travel e-mails (EXCELLENT travel guides for US, Europe etc.) as well as a few others, like the daily one with listings of new stuff. But this one I just signed up for the other day - the worst of the web. I'm laughing, so it worth getting for me <vbg>

Don't miss the "Sick Twisted Jokes" link at the bottom. It's great!

OFFENSIVE DRIVING TIPS
Getting there in today's freeway traffic jungle can be more
of a challenge than you anticipated, particularly if you are
still using old-fashioned defensive driving techniques. With
a more aggressive approach, you will not only reach your
destination faster, you will also have a lot more
opportunities to wave your finger at other drivers.

THE CELEBRITY SLAM HONOR ROLL
Public figures have always been a favorite target of the
cruel joke, but the Web has brought on an entirely new era
of digital celebrity disfigurement. WOTW pays homage to some
of the most ruthless anti-celebrity sites to make it past
the turn of the century.

"What the f*ck is your problem what saying sh*t about
Canadians! On the worst of the web.

You dumb Americans!!! Always looking to put down other
nations.

I just e-mail the webmaster about your racist comments."

Well, my problem is that being a dumb Canadian, I'm what
saying sh*t about Canadians all the time, so I'm not sure
what sh*t about Canadians you're referring to. As for
emailing the Webmaster, I guess that would be me, but
fortunately I always enjoy reading about racist comments
I've made against myself.

Got something to say? Want to see your words right here in
Backspace? Send them in, or better still, put them up on the
forum, and I'll take it from there!
