Keep up the good work and fix your damned house, would ya'???!! Sheesh! We just re-painted our house & what a nightmare!!! looks cool now though.

Oh well, that was a fun post anyway, Pauline. I like the "orgy of torture and death" line. Certainly a little different than Pirate porn movies... More like "Hostel" or "Saw"...
