[cballs@mindspring.com (Curtis Balls)]

Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod...He's not married, and he likes motorcycles!
(My secret passion.) He knows math! (I hate math!)  AND get a load of those
interests!!  OK, OK, OK, there's that thing about LOTR, but we can live
with that, that's not serious.

Girls, HANDS OFF!  Wait, first, anybody got any good Shrimp Stroganoff
recipes?

Wow, imagine the wedding announcements:  Bowlin-Balls!
