    Ok, that was the best $210 you've ever spent.

    Did the pack feel "special?"

    << <i>I dont even see the signature. The only word I can make out is "majesty." >>



    I was thinking the same thing, but seriously - I reallly wouldn't care image Great pull Nick ! We wished it on you.

    I'm sure wishing people "cut-luck" will be standard practice from now on and THERE is why I can't let wax sit sealed in the house.

    Nick,

    I'm at a company dinner right now in SF and I want to tell people about a friend's great pull, but I'm afraid it might be taken the wrong way. I'm very happy as an Anglophile that a member of our community got this. Well done, again.
