Alan, that is not fair, YaKnow that Hoofie can't talk about HAM!!
She had to convert to Judaism!  The Most Reverand Rabbi 
Canihaveanotherone helped her break the urge to eat pork and HAM.

I know that HAM has been reading SPP and posted a post you made 
in SPP over in ASH-C.
Isn't that considered  Cross Posting!?!?!
She has her finger on the pulse of UseNEt doncaha know!!
God only knows why she feels the need to take SPP pulse, but you 
can bet if she is still over there, her and SpiderHam are still 
monitoring the pulse of TAlk Abortion, and Stinkbug has Alt 
Flame, AAVFFF, and the Nose covered.
