[.sig fed upon by deranged goret..GET AWAY FROM THAT MONITOR!]
Didn't the guy who was selling those cheap Canadian spicules get arrested?
Shoddy workmanship, or some such; it was written up in _Popular Goretics_ last
month.
I'll trade you a gross of blue vesch covers for the grommets; mine will wear
orange or, on occasion, black with red polkadots, and I have these blue ones
I bought for my SO's goret once, but we broke up before I could give them to
her.  Question about the grommets, tho': Are the foons first or second series?
Seems there's some kind of oil involved in the second-series grommets my goret
is allergic to; this makes for higher grommet expenses, of course, but my goret
manages to allay the costs by renting hirself out to Sun corp. on weekends.
I don't know what the job involves, but it pays well and the goret seems
happy with it, so I won't pry.
Thanx for the tip on the spindle; I got the spindle and a conversion kit
from my local specialty store and it's holding up quite well.
