Firefox;
responding to about 20 Nigerian Brides so I can get more pics -
checking out uTube for the latest Papadizzi - Save Papadizzi! -
checking out the personals to see just who I might have snagged with my

back to uTube to see who else has gone insane -
dnloads galore that I forget why I got them in the first place about 4

checking out all the URLs mentioned in posts to here -
