   "Only those who attempt the absurd achieve the impossible."  A good many other   
   people have balked at the thought, probably for good reason(s).

   Ermm, it's in the journey not of the getting there.  For me, it was similarly   
   with the Rocket City Red Neck show (till their accents became as grating to my   
   patience as do Kiwi accents).  The entertainment is in the 'makings' of their   
   attempts.  Any actual outcomes are unimportant.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
