IJMC Sleepless in Hell

                         IJMC - Sleepless in Hell

And this is what happens when you have a bored, semi-drunk, not 
particularly lucid Dave reading this type of message. Since I originally 
thought You've Got Mail should have been called Sleepless in Seattle II: 
Sleepless in New York, well, tonight's post was simply ripe for me to 
play with. So the new accomplice is Dave Thompson...as far as I know, all 
the "Sleepless in..." are original per me, while the "You've Got..." are 
attributed below.                                                   -dave
