You and Snotty, it would seem, have giggles instead. Clearly, we've tripped over different English dialects. Gigging frogs? Nope. Gigging pubs, yes. And I know about pithing toads, though for Scotty's benefit I'd better explain right now that it's not a lisped description of his usual excretory functions. So you sneal up and pith on toads?

So how was our timing? Seahag Out by nine minutes. Seahag first off the mark: Sun 10:46PM then Katysails Sun 10:54 (both local TOA here). Next time, factor in the different packet routes and servers and get it properly simultaneous. -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Faint echoes, sometimes inaudible, of the newsgroup's glorious past are downloadable at http://music.download.com/internetopera |

(for the life of me, I cannot see why anyone would want to gig a toad....foul things that they are...) we used to gig frogs for a lady down the street who paid us for the legs.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
