The first time I walked into a meet, I stood there gobsmacked. I had
never ever seen so many blokes with so much facial hair )) It was
like the ZZ Top clones convention. Sometimes one is dissapointed,
expecting, for example, someone to have pink hair and turning out they
don't have pink hair after all ;o)
