I didn't think of that. It does feel good to get rid of old clothes. It makes sense. Not quite what I was thinking but it might fit in. I'm still working on my interp. I'm currently having the body of Ruy Lopez exhumed and his bones studied under microscope. Stay tuned for results. -B O N G O ------------------------------ From: DrSaxx@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 18:40:40 EDT Subject: Re: Re[2]: Re[2]: Re:TMBG: Rest Awhile Chords that still would be funny, the johns cramming chess pieces in peoples' faces HM TMBG A o "Iowa" ------------------------------ End of tmbg-list Digest #32-2 *****************************
