Only if the donkey has "teats." I don't know the whole male/female thing with those animals.

But you were supposed to stay out, because I knew you loved to vaction there all the time. I can't believe you didn't know that. Yeah, they are the "Great T*#$". As my dad used to joke, "All three of them". Those guys must have been mighty lonely... "Aaahhh, the Wild West; Where men were men and the sheep were restless".....  I guess bert gets the bonus points. "And now we're going to play a game called scences from a hat..." Paul

Actually Paul, in the really wild west, the sheep are "scared"... And since it sounds like most of the "girls" are west of the Rockies, you might want to make the meeting place closer to the middle, like Las Vegas. That's the typical convention site isn't it?? Actually the Grand T's sound great, but that would be a spring trip, huh?

Yeah, we could make it like The Stand and everyone could walk through the land to Las Vegas for the showdow. And, if you Google the line, it's about 2:1 Scared:Nervous. I think nervous sounds better, but there are no "restlesses."
Since I mentioned The Stand, maybe I could get Stephen King from Bangor to help finance the get together.

It just doesn't look like 980 members filled out the survey.

Ooooo....The Stand was a wonderful book (read it several times)! But it's really the only King book I could read. Tried a few others...totally freaked me out.

The Stand was the only book which could stand on its own. There were some other good ones, too, but you have to like that genre. His latest book or his second latest, "On Writing," is excellent.

Bert, I forget the name but did you read the some what short story about the walking multiday road race for teenagers where as the kids stopped or fell off they got killed. As with most of his stories it took place somewhere in Maine.... The one left an impression on me.
