Steve, Steve, Steve,

You have it all wrong, all that sun your getting is making you soft.

Glad I saw this post in time, and its not too late.

Here is what you need:

Step 1:  Invite Chris Magno to build and construct a REAL
man-cave-with-lego-accents
Step 2:  Give Chris your Credit cards
Step 3:  We hang, go to the bar, find some babe's
Step 4:  Go back to the man-cave with said "found babes"
Step 5:  DELETED
Step 6:  Wake up not quite hung-over
Step  where was i?

Whatever, the point is, I need to help you with this massive project. And I
think John Neal could offer some advice, and Dave Koudys, and ummmm,

How about this sunday, maybe we could see whats on TV


Chris
