Jumbo shrimp and plastic glasses are two of my favorites (and as my
still single 40+ sister-in-law says, Mr. Right is hers!)

Stay warm - we're buried alive in Denver out here!

OK, its not Friday yet, but we are winding down to the holidays.

Does anyobdy else have a favorite oxymoron? I rather like "military
music"
to go with "military intelligence". "Devout atheist" also springs to
mind.
Mind you, I sometimes suspect that my company name is also an
oxymoron...
