   Speaking from experience..."Hi, Kate!" and "Hello."
     Vickie: "Hi...I thought you cut your hair."

   The concept of self-assigned penance springs to mind. (Hair shirts
being currently out of fashion.)

   By the way, just to clear one thing up...I wasn't comparing Record

   Sorry for any confusion.

   Faves here would be almost _any frame_ of "December Will Be Magic"
(Bongo version) or "Egypt" from the Christmas special.
