Working title: "One Million Posts, B.C."
Heh... that's too funny. We'll have Steve in his kilt and Hawaiian shirt as a stand in for Raquel. Grant can play the part of the dinosaur. 😛
Any stand-in for Raquel, male, female or other, must wear a fuzzy bikini. There are no other options.

Grant in kilt and fuzzy bikini, now there's a sight to make sore eyes.;-)

I'm with another uppity colonial on this one, Andrew Jackson:

It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.
