Thank you, Bob.  Recognizing this as the high honor it is, I shall endevor
to wear the name with pride and distinction, and hope that it hides the 
hair-shirt that I have vowed to wear each time my sense of humor overcomes
my sense of propriety.  (Some would say, "each time my alligator-mouth
overloads my hummingbird-ass," and since you did not, please allow me to
doff my cap to you, as well.)

You're a class-act, Bob.  I'm glad to see that your sense of humor exceeds
your earlier grumpiness, and I'm proud to join you as a fellow Bob.  Thanks
for being an exemplary Quattro-Head!

Bob (formerly known as, Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart)
