No, hockey is not among the sports I follow. I only know that Satan is real, as the Louvin Brothers might have already told you.

(Ben Stiller in the role of Derek Zoolander is really playing Heidi, as I have explained in the relevant posts.) Billy was born on February 24, nine months, the length of a "pregnancy" after May 24, the birthday of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. He has the same birthday as CNN's exquisite anchorwoman Paula Zahn: Zane, Zahn. Get it? By pairing the birthdays of a handsome Greek man (Billy Zane) and a beautiful German woman (Paula Zahn), the Entities foretold the Momentous Union between the Flower of Hellenic Manhood (me) and the Pinnacle of Teutonic Pulchritude (Heidi). One of the many secrets that Victoria keeps. Billy's sister Lisa was born on April 5, nine months after July 5. On July 5, 2002, New Braunfels, Texas, the capital of the German settlements in Texas, flooded after I had visited there on March 16, 2002, or 111 days earlier: 111 = 3 * 37 The number 37 is a very important number that the Entities do not wish me to discuss in public. Moreover, on Saturday, April 5, 2003, Archangel Heidi appeared at a New York bar with fellow Victoria's Secret supermodel Karolina Kurkova (KK). This presaged the confirmation of Empress Heidi as the K.u.K., the Kaiserin und Koenigin, the Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, at the Hungarian Grand Prix on August 24, 2003. Her team's driver, Fernando Alonso of Renault, triumphed there, winning that Formula 1 Grand Prix and becoming the youngest driver to ever do so. The Archduke of the Dual Monarchy himself, Otto von Habsburg, was there, too, at the Budapest Grand Prix, in case anyone missed the point. Billy Zane also appeared in "Back to the Future", a movie about time travel starring Michael J. Fox. The Dual Monarch, Heidi herself, appeared in "Spin City" with Michael J. Fox, where he plays me: http://onunterhaltung.t-online.de/c/01/94/24/194248,pt=self,si=14.html Notice that Michael's watch is on his left wrist and Heidi's watch is on her right wrist. This symbolizes the ability to move time both forwards and backwards. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 13:16:25 -0700 From: "Jason Brown \(Echo Services Inc\)" Subject: RE: at last, Kansan tackles the Billy Zane conundrum Eb quoted Kansan: > Billy's sister Lisa was born on April 5, nine months after July > 5.
