I wish I could remember titles of the top of my head.<BR/><BR/>My recommendation, don't render in bullets themselves. It looks hokey (though that can sometimes work) Just go for the best muzzle flare possible.Kwasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998272157766815070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-1149474425208904072006-06-04T21:27:00.000-05:002006-06-04T21:27:00.000-05:00figured as much...picked that up from the congoman...figured as much...picked that up from the congoman's blog...Nunya https://www.blogger.com/profile/03071809877529473899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-1149433192641255512006-06-04T09:59:00.000-05:002006-06-04T09:59:00.000-05:00Been meaning to ask you...What does HK stand for??...<I>Been meaning to ask you...<BR/>What does HK stand for??</I><BR/><BR/>Hong Kong.Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-1149432749404175282006-06-04T09:52:00.000-05:002006-06-04T09:52:00.000-05:00"Self-teaching" I like that...Been meaning to ask ..."Self-teaching" I like that...<BR/><BR/>Been meaning to ask you...<BR/>What does HK stand for??Nunya https://www.blogger.com/profile/03071809877529473899noreply@blogger.com
