How do you pronounce "****"?
Hmmm... my interpretation of Asterix and Obelix has just altered considerably!

I have a wife and 2 kids that I can only attribute to a wiggle, a giggle, and the realization that she was out of my league so I might as well be happy with her as a friend. 26 years marriage later, I can't imagine life without her. -Me 10/7/09
