<<<I am new to the group, only been getting the list for about a week. I have no idea what the deal is with the beaten dog or whatever, and to tell you the truth, I dont want to know. If anyone agrees with me please say so so we can get it over with. Thanx Noah>>> Noah, You picked a BAD time to get onto the least. Please believe me, its usually fantastic. I think we just needed a little break from Salanger and seriousness (are we ever serious?), and a bit of a creativity show. The "dog thing" was just a little game...just some fun the Bananafishers were having...harmless fun. I actually found it enjoyable and even chuckled aloud a few times during the who ordeal. Point: don't get discouraged by these tangent, as it doesn't happen too often (not this severe anyway). Sit back and enjoy the Bananafish list. Its great. :) Eric PS: anymore ()'s and I would have made a full bouquet! Darn...I'll try harder next time.
