### Yow! Me be sloeeeeetoe, not quicktoe! (I did a marathon last
weekend -- first run over 40 minutes since April; first run over
1 hour since February! "Slothtoe" would work...)

### I agree -- and I'll eat anything you want to cook!

### Can I walk and stay warm, and then fill my sleeping bag? (I
know, I'm a p.i.t.a. here...., but if I'm not moving, I'm in the
bag and zipped up.)

### I think I met him last time, camping with the buds. Not
missing a beat, I turned to the next guy and asked him a
question, as if the horse's ass hadn't said a word. The rest of
us had a pleasant chat, but boyyyyyyy that gave me a 'tude for
the rest of the day.
