    My only surprise was that it wasn't in Texas. Aren't they supposed to do everything bigger?

    Not everything. Just their egos.

    Am I the only one who had that X-Files episode come to mind? You know, the one where Scully experiences this weird reality, only to discover she's trapped underground in some hallucenagenic mushroom? :) Kinda like the TNG episode where Riker finds himself in an insane asylum, like in the play he was in with Data, except Scully is better looking than Riker and there was no mushroom colony.

    Yeah, lame post. So sue me. :-P
