But make sure to pass around the dolphin pics.
And tell them about this site. They can see your works in action.
You may even be able to get some grants to get the race team started."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

12-20-2008 11:41 PMNot too many politicans- 3 Presidents (Hoover, Wilson & Taft- Roosevelt was an associate member and Coolage was elected in but declined after getting the bill) and 2 VP's. There is about a dozen Supreme Court justices, 32 Nobel Prize winners, 56 Pulitzer Prize winners and 45 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Originally Posted by Ratickle
