Machs Nicht. It's like calling a chrysanthemum a rose. It's easier to spell
that way but, it's still a chrysanthemum. Or asking for a Kleenex and getting
handed a box of Puffs. OR, asking for a Coke and being served Pepsi. Ain't
right just because it happens all the time. And screw surlatable.com - they're
just marketroids with their snoots so high in the air with pretensions that
they'd drown in a middlin' rain storm.   Bv)=   /rant off/
