This is the big time. Sober up for a couple of hours and vote in your semi-right minds.

You're in a tussle this time, Al. It might get rough when the European vote comes in.

I wonder if the events in Paris are holding up the European returns? Bellabarba should be running away with this thing.

The guy who does Radio Hobart International and long time uber-dx'er.

Why would I post his real name? I'm not ol' Sockpuppets Murphy.

You pay too much attention to Pigmeat, you're going to need a lot more than a "glass or two". I ended up with brain bubbles. Luckily, I am completely recovered, but it was a close call.

You're a wiener, Al! All you have to do is send me your social security and credit card numbers, plus your birth certificate and your valuable prize will be in the mail.

Congrats and thanks for playing!
