2. Nope.
Although I'm so tired right now I feel like I might start bleeding from my eyes.

4. Don't get the reference...
Could you clarify for me?

Admittedly, I'm whipped right now-was up late last night-and not functioning above about 30% of normal.

5. In the 1980s and early 90s
there was the televangelist Jim Bakker who operated the "Praise the Lord Club" (PTL Club for short). He was convicted on several charges, mainly conning his viewers/supporters out of their cash. For example: "If you send me $100 I will pray for your loved one... etc." One case in particular was his Christian theme park where families could buy time shares. Basically, he sold more than was available and was caught.

PTL = Pass The Loot

13. Thanks, guys.
I was a little kid when that was going on, so I had no idea what the comment meant. Always nice to know more.

17. Geeky, but....
I am (slowly) working on a fantasy novel, and the seawolf is a creature used as a heraldric device by the main characters. It's a shark with a wolf's head.
