Since finding your blog I've won the "Mr. Poland" muscle pageant, received a proposal of marriage from Zelda Cowznofski (elderly heiress to the Cowznofski Pop Rivet millions) and appeared on Wisconsin Cable TV's popular "It's Three In The Morning!" show.

Coincidence? I think not.

Can't wait to sample some it's more lysergic qualities. Now, if you'll excuse me...I must be on my way................many thanks for this!
