    Thoughts:

    A) Howard Handupme comes to mind.

    2) Seals baa? Maybe it’s just the speakers on my notebook, but that’s what it sounds like to me.

    iii) You were made for each other!

    Wow. That seal has extraordinary powers – just by being in contact with you he could controll what you said!! Did you speak seal before this encounter? :P

    Tell me you took him home and gave him some sweet diabetes-inducing name…

    Well I would say that you two were made for each other. Both are capable of melting one’s heart.

    To your PPS….Welcome to Canada. The land where not only can Rogers charge extraordinary prices for iPhone data plans, but also where BCE and Telus can charge you for receiving unwanted text messages. Ah, the land of the free (or not so free as the case may be).

    Well? Did you buy it or just toy with it and then leave it all lonely and wanting more in the big hopper with the rest of the baby seals?

    I was half waiting for iJustine to come in with a huge Killer whale and attack your hand.
