Gee thanx, Dan. It sounds like the Norwegians knew how to have a good
time. Of course, I don't need a sacred horse phallus and I don't want
anybody sending one to me with an endearing birthday card either. It
was embarassing enough last year.
Besides, I already have one of my own >:) Oh my, please forgive my
shamelessly patriarchal comment. I'm getting all out of hand from all
this excitement... oh no, maybe "hand" was a bad choice of words during
a sensitive moment like this. Oops, did I say "sensitive"? Erh, I
actually should have said... erh... um... <:|
