Not much of one. But hey, if ya want uproar I can
give you upr- ... nah, I've gotta make some brunch.
Two shingled over-easies, two rashers of bacon, cup
of coffee, and then maybe another one. I'd fix some
up for you, too, if I could. Or something healthier
and less greasy if you prefer. Salmon salad makes
a nice brunch.

cheers,
Tom

Ah, but is it then _actual piano_ wire, as Larry suggested, or simply
piano-type wire? Is there not a difference between a hot dog for
lunch, and a hot actual dog for lunch? Given a choice between say
"riding Big Bear" and "riding big actual bear", for instance, my
preference is clear.
