          08) Is it Ok to call yourself "Gimme Chocolate" when in fact 
          your true disposition is more like "Please, Sir, may I have 
          some more...Reece's Sticks?"
          07) Proposition: PolarGuard II beats 550fill down, hands down,

          during a lightening storm?

          my stocking feet, not counting the Nestle Chunks I've got 
          stuffed into my shoes as heel lifts and spare food supply)???
          02) If the trail is to go beyond Katahdin, do we 
          "stature-challenged" types get extra time?
