                 IJMC - Jack Handey, Eat Your Heart Out

I don't even want to know where they came up with some of these. I just 
want to know where I can find two bottles of vodka, some frozen peas, and 
a tape recorder at this time of night...

Anyway, I'm in a good mood tonight as the web server's been doing what I
want it to do. There are now two search engines online, ht://Dig and
Glimpse so that you can find old IJMC's by keyword(s). And I've opened up
the archives so that you can also browse through the past posts which are
organized by date. So visit the web site at http://www.ijmc.com/ and
enjoy. It's starting to shape up nicely...                          -dave

girlie bows and fiddly bits while you're down the pub. 
Daphnie Treloar Cardiff

you cant and it just looks silly. Just throw it girlie under-arm style,
