Yeak.  OK, Nils.

But . . .

Are you a Republican state senator of South Dakota?

I also received some rather interesting, and very "complimentary", responses
from some porn sites.  Suffice it to say that "Home of the Whopper" DID NOT
originate from Burger King.

Yes.  Tom Hansen is all that . . . and more.  And it's only Monday.

Now, I know that many of you are simply "chomping at the bit" for your
opportunity to add to the "Tom Hansen is" List.  Heck.  I can almost hear
you breaking chairs and doors to get to your keyboards.  I will not keep you
waiting any longer, as I am also eager to read your responses, especially
those of you whose vocabulary is restricted to mono-syllable, four-letter
words.

Have at it, guys.

After you have Googled, you can create a Google Alert on a specific search
and get daily or weekly summaries of new hits. So, Ellen you could watch
yourself weekly from now on.

My sister, E Kirsten Peters, had a Google alert on me when she worked at the
DNews. She'd send me items from time to time, about other Nils Petersons

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"
