Quote Of The Week
"I don't know how else to put this -- whatever your preference, there was some grade-A tail on display, in extremely close proximity to social lubricants and hotel rooms, and you crazy kids should be out there ticklin' and slappin' and makin' it happen." -- Sean T. Collins, in his SPX report for this site, causing several people who didn't catch his credit line up on top of his article to think I'd completely lost my mind.
