Lary WISHES he were me.

I can think of no better (and yet worthless) word choice to use in a spam mail than these two words. They are actually kick-ass words the both of them, and they roll off the tongue with a punch and a kick, yet I never would've thought to let the two nestle together to create this powerhouse of writing they have become.

Marian Nickerson, you are truly a poet.
