Well, I thought I *was* getting up to date.  I've always known that PTG was 
international and was at the Toronto Convention but hardly anyone ever refers 
to it using the official language, so I thought it was cool and *hip* to call 
it "The National". It's so hard to follow you guys and know what the current 
lingo is!  And after all, it will be in Dallas again next year, how more 
"National" can you get?  Don't mess with Texas.  Come to the Red Neck 
National and get some edge-ee-ka-shun.  You'll either learn how to spell 
"whippen" right or the boys will give *you* a whoopin! The featured event 
will be the redest of the rednecks, that New Mexican Guy bustin' up a 
Wurly-gig.
