  I think Ya'll Bot has an ego. Sometimes, it's very complementary,
while at other times, he reams someone a new butt!!

  There was a Looney Tunes Cartoon years ago with Grover Groundhog,
who sings "A Groundhog and his shadow, are very important things".

  Porky Pig is hunting the groundhog with a dog by the name of
"Mandrake" (sounds like something in one of the addons for L.O.R.D.
II). When the dog is startled by the groundhog, he screams "Don't
Do That!!". Then, looking at him, he surmises "You're a Groundhog".
Grover gives him a greenback, and says "That gets you one dollar.
Would you care to try for two??!!". 

 Mo> Loved the movie.  I often reference it when someone asks me,
 Mo> "How's it going?"  I just say, "It's Groundhog Day".  Most
 Mo> people get it.

  A friend of mine, his daughter was born on Groundhog Day. I told
him to ask her if she re-lives her birthday each year. 

 Mo> Makes you wonder how they survive the 364 other days of the
 Mo> year. 

  On the money they make on that one day. :P
