hey, yo -- "cracker" is how i lovingly refer to myself to my "yankee" friends in wisconsin, where i used to live. no harm meant -- i figure since i'm from here, i can say it. like "honky," which is another fave of mine. sometimes you take the sting out of words by reclaiming them for your own. case in point, "cunt"! (see book by same title, author=inga muscio). calm down, all you non-sleepers, the love is so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw that SHOULD be sawin' logs (if we were sleepin').

peace, d.m.
