next level, thun. the mobb piece was dopey, if i didn't say that over at the blog. i spent most of my time referencing hyperdictionary.com while enjoying it, i told gloss that. i went to college, i'm even more stupid, herb. when you blank like this though, does not your back up drive kick in, and default inner soundtrk ( no :arrow: ) kick in to auto-pilot playing O.K.'s "Stress," so you can think-- "paaain, STRESS, my brain! No, maybe, perhaps?
