    Dang! It has the sound of a woman's body part – excitement and disappointment all in one word. I usually have a glass of wine or beer with dinner. When I pop the top on that Miller tonight (pizza, gotta have beer) I'll pause for a moment of lascivious lust over the undulating Ullage.

    Mari, you bring out the worst in me. :-)
