I will always refer to congi's as 'con-geek-us'. It's so fitting really. We are fish geeks. = /

[beblondie]

You wouldn't be the first to mispronounce them so don't feel bad-Anne

I was smoking pot and drinking beer instead of taking Latin in High school. But it did not mess my life up...

Damn gotta go time to mop the halls......
