I shoulda known some one of you guys would think of the Brandy...HEY!!!! How bout some of that good Australian stuff with the real flakes of gold floating in it??? I seem to remember I really liked the taste of it, but thats about all I remember, except maybe how violently the bed began to spin one way and the ceiling the other...oiy...sneaks up on yah, especially when yah rarely partake. BUT... about the St. Bernard, thinking about it, they're bigger than I am so they'd make a fine furry warm bed to sink into and good transportation too. I'd let him keep his coat and his life for that alone...if he brought the brandy...oh well, I'd insist he kept moving in the direction of the spinning, and keep him close to the windows...oiy...lame huh? See yah
