      - it's my HSX "handle" - intials for my name -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 09:57 8
        
        J Enbro? I know a guy who's initials are T Heusuk but he does not go by The Usuk :) -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 09:58 7
        
        nope - Jen = first name, Bro = last name. Someone a long time ago thought I was someone they knew in college - had same initials thing and nick name. - JenBro Jan 21, 10:00 4

        *facepalm* - musubi Jan 21, 10:02 5

    - don't forget the sticker of mickey on it ;) -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 11:19
  - as long as it's also warm out and have a poncho, you can easily dominate (ie get to see a bunch of attractions) theme parks. -- nm - Jovian Jan 21, 10:00
  - Let me guess...the rainstorm was somehwere around 4pm and lasted for 15 minutes. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:58 2
    - you'd expect it for Florida - but this was unusual - it was from 10:30 ish - and never quit all day. -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 10:03
    - Stupid Florida -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 09:59
