You know when you have "made it " on TRF

What is it, Tristan? Not a "Steely Dan" or anything like that, is it?

There are a few ways that you can tell you've "made it" on TRF, but getting a mystery package from Boca Raton with a "Leo K..." return address would certainly rank high on the list. In this case however, "pics or it didn't happen"

I though Paul had the only Steely Dan, or is it making the TRF rounds now ?

He has ONE of them. Buhweet is holding it in Paulie's avatar pic!

There are many other "Steely Dan-like" objects around!

Since it's courtesy I don't think you have to worry.

Glad it got there, you never know with the Spanish postal system.

True .. last time I send you something it took nearly a month .. I guess they shipped it with the Thor Heyerdahl lines . Then again from FL to here was fast ....

If it's a Speedo, I hereby wish to retract my demand for a picture. Really. Seriously,... it's not OK Tristan, we'll take your word for it. Please don't post a picture.

Unless, of course, Mrs Tristan wants to model it. Then it's OK.
