So, you say you're a BluesFan huh? Here's your chance to let everyone
know just how much of a BluesFan you are! Just add this code to your
sig file(s), T-shirts, business cards, employment applications, and the
world will wonder, just why, you're running around without that cute, little
white jacket, you know, the one that has the arms that tie behind the back!
