Nice Pic of Richie Havens.   Is that after he had his teeth fixed?

Richie Havens? I thought it was Marvin Hagler during a hippie faze.

   I have lodged an official complaint with management that yall's obvious racial bias has triggered me into changing back to a 'white woman' against my will.  You will be dealt with soon, if Affirmative Action means anything to these folks.

   Brilliant Poll @Polly Ticks.

   I'm ashamed to admit that even as the Category Moderator, I just discovered this.
   My only excuse is I'm preoccupied with the NBA Playoffs and I certainly do appreciate the slack you Briefers cut me.

In your defense, I did commit a faux pas in failing to ping you when I mentioned your name.  Oops.

I don't see a difference between the first and second choices.  Anyway, my MO isn't listed; jump in where ever I want and bleep anyone who has a problem with it.   :laugh:
