Dude, I probably shouldn't admit this, but The Roanoke Times is my hometown newspaper !! Now, if I ever make it Toronto, I'm buying you three beers. Really. Bullitt Ave is on the other side of town. I'd like to say all the intelligent people are on my side of town, but I live in the American South, unfortunately people in Roanoke are generally as dumb as they look. I've been to Boston. I love Boston, it is much better.

As I like to say: "You know how dumb the average person is? Assuming a normal distribution curve for IQ, half of them are even dumber!"

Slippy, Honey. That was 15 years ago. Move on.
