To wit: Lederhosen. See, Mom picked 'em up for me a few years back in Austria, but they're not something one wears whilst slumming about town. Mostly good for Oktoberfest, Halloween, and polka parties if you're into that sort of thing... Anyway, I had a lot of fun being a dork and having an excuse to carry my beer around with me. So along with me and my Lederhosen I'll throw in a shot of Hunter as Mickey/Fantasia. Be thankful I don't send an mp3 of the chicken dance song... http://www.hintz.org/photos/public/lederhosen.jpg https://photoviewer:80UWLBA7@www.hintz.org/photos/private/hunter-fantasia.jpg Peace, Edmund A.

Message-ID: <20021119230753.23664@127.0.0.1:2525> I am now an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church, and completely legal to perform marriages and pet baptisms in all 50 states... I saw these guys many years ago; didn't take the leap for fear of spam, but I hear they don't bother you after you get the credentials so I figured what the hell. And of course I used a mail alias so if they do try to spam me I can 550 the mail... I'll have to figure out if I can get tax benefits out of this... Apparently I can get special access to hospitals and prisons, and perhaps some sort of parking privileges... ;-) (Disclaimer, I don't really intend to abuse it, I'm just amused) http://www.hintz.org/photos/public/ordination.png Ordain yourself here: http://www.ulc.org/ Peace, Edmund A.

I don't generally follow anything NFL other than the Chargers, but I've got an affinity for Ricky. We both grew up in San Diego (Ricky was huge for Patrick Henry High in SD) and we both attended UT Austin during the same timeframe. I went to several Longhorn games the season that Ricky won the Heisman, at one of 'em he got something ridiculous like 200 yards, and was just incredible to watch. So anyway, I tend to listen up when I hear his name, and I really like the concept of his blog. Sorta breaks down the hype surrounding a celebrity like that and shows he's still just another guy... http://www.run-ricky-run.com/ Peace, Edmund A.
