Glad to hear you were eventually "saved". :-) I recently caught a segment of "Inside The Actors' Studio" with several members of the cast of "Family Guy". Seth MacFarlane's response to one of the standard closing questions posed by James Lipton was priceless: Lipton: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? MacFarlane: I'm really sorry about all my followers. Ya just gotta love ol' Seth. :-) -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
