Jesus ! LOL !! I'm an old-timer here at GetBig an I'd forgotten the stories ! Lol !!! I see why !!! LOL !!
I believe the Dearth story, though. Had heard it myself. And not just from one person. I can believe the Samir story as well. The Katz story though ... ummmmm .... I can't really see that. But, then again, anything's possible.

Keep them comin', Beefy.
