  Heeeeeyyyy!!!! That's freakin' BRILLIANT!!! Tons and tons of HorseShit
dumped in/around Herr Ash-Krofft and his unruly band of
much-darker-than-red shirted thug^H^H^H^H NuPatryuts(tm).

  Of course, having neither Humor, nor Brains, I'm afraid the irony would
be lost on them.

  Doesn't keep it from being a most wonderful idea; one that the Equine
Husbandry folks might welcome as well... free mucking!

  O well, this is hideously off topic.

  Sue me...



Cheers

John
