[meteorite-list] Self Proclaimed Pairing List

[JKGwilliam]

Thanks a lot Doug, now the dang song will be in my head all day;-)

Roadrunner! beep beep! The coyote is coming to eat you! (literal translation)

The actual jingle was:

"Roadrunner, the coyote's after you...Roadrunner, if he catches you you're 
through!

I raised seven kids.
