reminds me of that song "sky rockets in flight - afternoon delight, ah ah afternoon delight" (purple better not read this or she'll be stuck with this all day)

Thanks Jabber, likewise yours! p.s. You need to check out jedijawa's "resiglation". (rubbinsticksandstonestogethermakesthesparksignite...) petaj - nice word, and thanks for the mindtune - Knights in White Satin was getting old and depressing. (skyrocketsinflight...)
