as i was reading your very facinating comment, and probably because I
don't have a clue as to what youre saying..I got the distinct feeling

well I guess this is what is know as the new world order??
Nice to hear you again...those were some fun days in Rahway? (knocking
at the front door) Hello...son of a freak'n flipper!
