The less-refined forums have a term for it: "Post-wh0rez".

(Feel free to remove that if deemed inappropriate.

Appropriate, just the same, but inappropriate.

In celebration of my 19th Birthday today I went to a concert with Christopher Cross, Gary Wright, Firefall, Orleans, John Ford Cooley, Robbie Dupree and Player. I was the youngest person in attendance by far. Everyone was 45-60 years old. I had front row seats and during the last song, Peaceful Easy Feeling, (which they did a good cover of) the guitarist from Orleans gave me his guitar pick! After the show, since I had front row seats, I started talking to all of them and the same guitarist gave me the setlist they tape on the stage, which he then signed. I then told them it was my Birthday and all of them signed Happy Birthday and wished me well, it was so fun!

Very cool! Nice birthday remembrance, and a reminder of good times each time you see it for years to come.

Happy 19th to you, with many, many more to come!

Ride like the wind!

Ethanol doesn't contain as much energy as gasoline, thus the MPG is down when you use it.

I'd bet the money-per-mile is about a wash.
