Okay, I didn't need that visual. Not that I know what you look like, but
I've got this vision in my head that instead of Venus[1] of a stereotypical
nerd in his white BVDs and t-shirt, sock suspenders & black socks, broken &
taped glasses, and bowl cut hair-do standing on a clam shell with a bunch of
sea creatures trying to cover their eyes from the shock of it all.
Gaylin
[1] Venus Rising was the name of the painting, IIRC.
