Also, the upcoming maneuver, the Goldfish, is a real box-eater (no dirty jokes please). So, the sooner you complete the Double I the easier it is to keep the goldfish in the box. I've been waiting about a 2-thousand count before pulling down to start the Goldfish. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 PTSIZE=12 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>
