From emails I have received, I know there are readers who have suffered directly and indirectly from the attacks. My heart goes out to all of you. It's been very difficult to try to be funny in times like this. I think it is important to laugh even in times like these to help deal with the anger and pain. I know it's corny and maybe it's my way of dealing with the whole issue, but I'm looking at it as my patriotic duty to get over this and start writing funny stuff again. I'll do my best. More commentary on the evens can be found in the Log (http://bbspot.com/Log/) -After a mighty long wait I finally ripped the last Screen Savers appearance (http://www.bbspot.com/toys/video/tss/tss_video2.wmv 1.9MB).

There may be even a worse fate. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. -- Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill It will be a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. You have our gratitude. -- Kentucky Fried Movie ------------------------------ To subscribe to the list use the following link: mailto:bbspot-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe To unsubscribe at any time to the list use the following link: mailto:bbspot-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe OR Use the convenient form on http://bbspot.com -- Brian http://bbspot.com
