[USML Announce] Sullen Young Men

[rickgam at comcast.net]

Greetings;
     Just returned and in going through the e-mails, I must say Doug gets the prize for most entertaining of the week.  The feigned concession was funny enough (I noticed Mr. Saks has been conspicuously silent on the matter), but the real thigh-slapper was the "Sir Mix-A-Lot" crack aimed at Brad.  Great stuff!
    Rick
