Liked the comment on Barbara Walters.<BR/><BR/>Did you see Cook tonight? He seemed very nervous, understandably. Nice to see and hear him again.<BR/><BR/>By the way, Big Brown's trainer is now blaming the jockey.

Interesting that THE HULK is in this puzzle just before the movie comes out (June 13 release). I also don't understand ARCH for Roguish. C.C., I realized the skirts were faux see-through, but my wife thought they were the real thing and got incensed over them, LOL! Bill, I think your EXAM explanation is right on. Melissa bee, that is a hoot!

Always open for new experiences. <BR/><BR/>Dennis: Your fear is justified. Just check the marital status of the doctor and ask to see a pic of his wife. If she doesn't have a beard and big guns, I'm sure you'll feel a lot safer. Plus, you'll get a cool set of pictures of your colon. Yours I'm sure would give a whole new meaning to and even rival Ansel Adam's 'MOON<BR/>Rise'. Ought to make a very interesting Christmas card this year too. And just think of all the songs that could be sung to accompany your Cmas card...like: It Came upon the midnight Clear (finally); A way in the man...ger, no polyps in the babe; or Jingle Balls...oh what fun it is to ride on the OR cart todaaaayyyyy. You could LAUNCH a wHOLE new caREER. Oh the possibilities! <BR/><BR/>Hydration time! Good luck. Hope everything 'comes out' ok. I'm sure you'll be glad to get it 'behind you'. Somebody stop me!!!
