Thanks so much, Simon! But what in the world does that mean? I'll betcha it's a joke title because that little piece with that name on CD #5 is an "instrumental" of sorts and very incomplete sounding - as if half the band was missing at the time or something.

Hi hatters! translator's note: I'm working on Dave's request. I just saw I'm a bit late with the translation of Ou sont mes men, so I'll add a footnote. I believe I understood a certain reliable but anonymous source to say that this is a snippet from The Winnebago Song. :-) Also, another New Year tidbit for everyone . . . Nothing happened to Tony.

"I want to learn French"... (I'm taking Spanish currently) So I started in school. I borrowed some French books and started trying to learn French :) What I wanted to know is if anyone's interested in doing a French-learning group or something like that with others of us in the group that are French- impaired and want to learn. I don't know. I just thought that'd ask if anyone's interested in learning French and hasn't taken any action on it. If anyone doesn't quite understand what I'm trying to ask, I appologize. It's 3:00am, I'm tired and it was a heckuva party. Good night, Feliz el año prospero!
