Listen, Leigh...I don't doubt that you will win an oscar so when you do
could you say something like this in your acceptance speech?


"Wow, you like me, you really like me!"


Er, uh...wrong speech.


Try this one:


"I'd like to thank all the little people especially giving a warm shout
out to all my homeys on rasfwrj for stickin' by me when I twernt nothing
but a poor dirt farmer from the Bayous of Louisianna.  A special word of
gratitude for my mentor, Mark A. Loy for without him and what he means to
my life, I'd still be pickin' poke salad out my teeth with a porcupine
quill whilst I rub my tender vittles all raw."



Oh my...<wipes tear from corner of eye>...I had no idea that you felt this
way, Leigh.
