Reads like a transcript of a shuttle liftoff, it's so detailed. FWIW I always thought it was Murray with the "{Two words that don't belong" line, and Dave with the "Is Barney naked?"...everything else looks right to me. However, I will listen again to those lines, in deference to your painstaking attention to detail.
