--Game Four--
I was too distracted all day Tuesday. I barely got anything done at work. Finally I called Sandy.
\'93I really need to talk, meet me after work?\'94 I pleaded.
\'93Sure thing!\'94 she replied. She was as solid in our friendship as she was in the goal.
Sandy sensed my confusion the moment I walked in the door.
\'93What\rquote s wrong Liz?\'94 she asked.
\'93It\rquote s Steve and this stupid bet!\'94 I burst out. She nodded her head in sympathy.
\'93You looked like you were enjoying it Saturday. What happened?\'94
I took a deep breath. Would I be violating Steve\rquote s confidence? I wasn\rquote t sure. I decided to go ahead.
\'93La}{\insrsid10384334 s}{\insrsid8093426 t night he told me he was into BDSM.\'94
\'93}{\ul\insrsid8093426\charrsid8093426 Was}{\insrsid8093426 ,}{\insrsid11497902 past tense,}{\insrsid8093426 \'94 Sandy replied. What? That was her response? Then I realized why.
}{\insrsid2382479 \'93You knew.\'94}{\insrsid5589580
}{\insrsid8093426 She shrugged her shoulders and h}{\insrsid5589580 ad the decency to look guilty. }{\insrsid8093426 \'93Not BDSM specifically, but I\rquote m not surprised,\'94 she said.}{\insrsid13918637
}{\insrsid8093426
I glared at her. \'93Okay, spill it!\'94 I demanded. Sandy sighed but nodded her head.
\'93I\rquote m going to have to forfeit my bet with Pete, but okay.\'94
\'93I noticed Steve was interested in you a while ago,\'94 she began. \'93But he didn\rquote t seem to be doing anything about it. Finally I asked Pete}{\insrsid15617187 about him}{\insrsid8093426
. Pete said that Steve had gotten cautious after getting burned a handful of times. Apparently something happened when Steve was a teenager that gave him a lot more sexual experience th
an the average guy. Not just regular sex, but all sorts of kinky stuff too. Pete didn\rquote t say what.\'94
\'93}{\insrsid6690057 It seems }{\insrsid8093426 all that experience backfired on him. Sure the girls liked it at first, but when they found out about some of the stuff he\rquote d done, they dumped him.\'94
\'93Ran away screaming,\'94 I said.
\'93Exactly,\'94 Sandy continued, \'93Pete says Steve tr}{\insrsid5589580 ied meeting women in the kinky}{\insrsid8093426 communities, which obviously would be the BDSM club.\'94 I nodded my head to acknowledge her observation.
\'93The problem with that was,\'94 she said, \'93that Steve wasn\rquote t kinky enough for those women. Or else}{\insrsid3619166 they\rquote d have other problems. So he got burned again.\'94}{\insrsid8093426
}{\insrsid3619166
I let out a deep breath. Thank god. At least my worst fears were unlikely to be true. I realized that Steve was much simpler to understand than I\rquote d thought.
\'93So,\'94 I said, \'93Steve hasn\rquote t met the right woman yet.\'94 Sandy flashed me a huge grin.
\'93That\rquote s what I said. I told Pete }{\insrsid11497902 that }{\insrsid3619166 you wouldn\rquote t run. He wasn\rquote t so sure. Hence the bet.\'94
\'93I still may run, Sandy. I still don\rquote t know him very well.\'94 She looked }{\insrsid15617187 disappointed}{\insrsid3619166 . I decided to change the subject a little.
\'93So, what are the stakes with Pete?\'94 I asked.
Sandy grinned mischievously. \'93Pete and I have been flirting since the second game. We decided we wouldn\rquote t go out until the end of the season because we were concerned about team chemistry.\'94
\'93Team chemistry?\'94
\'93We were worried about what the news that we were dating would do to the team. The team }{\insrsid5589580 was still gelling}{\insrsid3619166 , and a lot of the new guys hadn\rquote t accepted me as their goalie ye}{\insrsid2382479 t.
We decided we could wait.\'94}{\insrsid3619166
\'93Though I must tell you,\'94 she admitted, grinning through the rising blush, \'93the *teasing* has been agony. It\rquote s been like months of foreplay!\'94
\'93Oh}{\insrsid15617187 ,}{\insrsid2382479 you love it!\'94}{\insrsid3619166
}{\insrsid11883529 \'93Yeah,\'94 she admitt}{\insrsid3619166 ed. She paused, imagining some reverie}{\insrsid11040252 she chose not to share.}{\insrsid3619166
\'93So the stakes?\'94 I prodded}{\insrsid11040252 .}{\insrsid3619166
}{\insrsid11040252
\'93Oh, decidedly X-rated,\'94 she mused.
\'93So you\rquote re going to get sexual favors if I hook up with Steve.\'94 I couldn\rquote t help rolling my eyes at this turn of events.
}{\insrsid12005199 \'93It\rquote s not much different than your bet!\'94 she shot back.
My bet. Shit. I still didn\rquote t know what to think about my bet with Steve. I had agreed to two minutes of anything. If he had a lot of experience like Sandy said}{\insrsid11497902 , \'93anything\'94 could include . . . }{\insrsid2382479 well, }{
\insrsid11497902 anything}{\insrsid12005199 .
Sandy let me sit and stew for a minute before she reached over and gently touched my hand.
\'93Liz, he\rquote s a great guy. Give him a chance. At least talk to him at tomorrow\rquote s game before you run away from him.\'94
I nodded. She was right. I couldn\rquote t wait for Detroit to lose. I need to know more now.
}{\insrsid9533574
But then Detroit did lose! I started to get really excited, but then remembered I\rquote d gotten my story yesterday. Well, at least I wouldn\rquote t have to pay up another four minutes! But . . . maybe that wouldn\rquote t be so bad. }{
\insrsid2382479 Enjoyable even.}{\insrsid15617187
}{\insrsid9533574 Who was I kidding? Detroit losing was *always* a good thing!
}{\insrsid11408321
I teased Steve about it as soon as I saw him the next night.
\'93Not going to have any problem with Calgary, huh? What }{\insrsid11497902 was that }{\insrsid16739572 you were}{\insrsid11408321 saying? Not going to choke like my Avs?\'94
He grinned and sheepishly shrugged his shoulders. His smile was warm and playful and I couldn\rquote t help but grin back.
}{\insrsid14950745
\'93What can I say?\'94 Steve said. \'93Even the Wings can\rquote t triumph all the time. Maybe we should see if they want Sandy in goal.\'94 He }{\insrsid11497902 feigned }{\insrsid14950745 the most innocent }{\insrsid15617187 na\'efve }{
\insrsid14950745 expression with that last comment that I couldn\rquote t help but crack up laughing.
\'93Well hopefully she\rquote ll be as hot tonight as Calgary was!\'94 Steve }{\insrsid3431016 nodded}{\insrsid14950745 his head }{\insrsid8678344 in}{\insrsid14950745 agreement and then we were off talking about t}{\insrsid13640935
he details of last night\rquote s game, }{\insrsid14950745 Sandy\rquote s last game, and what we thought would happen tonight.
We were talking hockey. Just like we had done all season. It felt really good.
}{\insrsid15617187 Sandy was once again fan
tastic. This time she got some help from her defenders. She easily blocked all 10 shots the first period, including one stop where she practically plucked the puck out of the air with the ease of an infielder snagging a line drive. Pete was on fire too
, getting a goal and an assist in}{\insrsid3150454 what had the makings of a rout}{\insrsid15617187 . They ended up ahead 3-0 at the first intermission and the excitement in the stands was contagious.
Meanwhile, the Avs game had started}{\insrsid11432976 a while ago}{\insrsid15617187 . I turned up my portable radio just enough for Steve and I to both listen and he smiled at me in appreciation.
}{\insrsid10773160
The A}{\insrsid3150454 vs game turned out to be a nail biter}{\insrsid10773160 . }{\insrsid14170878 The first period was tight and the Avs got a lot of good shots in the second, but nothing went in. }{\insrsid11173682
Nabokov even made a save while on his back! }{\insrsid14170878 Steve seemed as tense as I was, but was graciously not commenting. Instead we cheered and yelled for Sandy and Pete.}{\insrsid10773160
}{\insrsid14170878
Their game was going well. Their opponents got it together during the second period and were able to shut down Pete and the rest of the offense, but they still couldn\rquote t get anything by Sandy. The second period ended with the same 3-0 score.
}{\insrsid15617187
}{\insrsid7566771 Sandy finally missed one in the third during a power play. It didn\rquote t matter though, }{\insrsid3150454 as }{\insrsid7566771 her offense had figured out the new defense and got}{\insrsid11432976 ten}{\insrsid7566771 t
wo goals, leading to a s}{\insrsid12665765 core of 5-1.}{\insrsid7566771
}{\insrsid7341815 Meanwhile, Nabokov also continued to be brilliant in stopping the Avs. Of course, he also got lucky! The Avs had two shots hit the crossbar.}{\insrsid6962592 They also couldn\rquote t sco}{\insrsid11432976
re on a power play for anything!}{\insrsid6962592 }{\insrsid11432976 Not even at the beginning of overtime!}{\insrsid7341815
}{\insrsid11432976
I was going crazy with each missed shot. Steve }{\insrsid3150454 stopped looking tense and }{\insrsid11432976 just looked more and more amused. It was actually really sweet\emdash a Red Wings fan not rubbing it in. How rare was that? I couldn\rquote
t help smiling at him.
Then Sakic finally scored and I let out a loud \'93Yes!\'94 The people around us looked startled\emdash they were waiting }{\insrsid11167338 for }{\insrsid11432976 a faceoff in the game in front of us.
\'93Avs just won!\'94 I announced. There were general cheers, which were repeated }{\insrsid2522253 louder }{\insrsid11432976 a few minutes later when the clock ran out and Sandy\rquote s team all hit the ice to celebrate their victory.
}{\insrsid14950745
}{\insrsid4160123 Afterwards, Steve walked me to the women\rquote s locker room door. There he stopped and }{\insrsid7480475 faced me}{\insrsid4160123 .
\'93So, are we on for Saturday?\'94 he asked. There was a touch of nervousness in his voice.}{\insrsid14950745
}{\insrsid4160123
I hung my head for a moment. Sandy had said I should talk to him. Now was the time.
\'93Steve, can we talk a little? Before I }{\insrsid3150454 answer that}{\insrsid4160123 ?\'94 I asked.
\'93Sure,\'94 he said. His confidence was back. He shoved the door open.
\'93Hey Sandy!\'94 he yelled. \'93Can I come in?\'94
\'93Sure!\'94 she hollered back. \'93Just don\rquote t peek!\'94 }{\insrsid15811760
}{\insrsid4160123 We both chuckled at that and Steve followed me into the locker room. We chose a bench away from Sandy\rquote s gear so she\rquote d have some privacy when she got out of the shower.}{\insrsid11744708
Once we got settled, Steve got a serious look on his face.}{\insrsid4160123
}{\insrsid11744708
\'93What would you like to talk about, Liz?\'94
I let out a deep breath. \'93I talked to Sandy}{\insrsid8340019 ,\'94 I began, \'93I hope that\rquote }{\insrsid11744708 s all right!\'94
He nodded. \'93}{\insrsid3150454 And }{\insrsid8340019 you }{\insrsid3150454 found s}{\insrsid11744708 he knew already.\'94 Huh? Steve noticed my confusion and continued.
\'93She }{\insrsid5665002 called}{\insrsid11744708 Pete last night }{\insrsid5665002 and said that}{\insrsid11744708 she had to forfeit their bet. He came and told me about it right after. I don\rquote t mind him telling Sandy about my past, but I
\rquote m not real happy about him betting against me.\'94
\'93He was betting against me,\'94 I interjected.
\'93Well, frankly, I hope he loses,\'94 Steve said.}{\insrsid15795370 Oh my.}{\insrsid12005199
}{\insrsid15795370
\'93Will you tell me about this past?\'94 I asked.
He took a deep breath and then nodded his head.
\'93Sure,\'94 he said. He stared into space for a few moments, and then turned to meet my eyes.
\'93When I was}{\insrsid6497975 fourteen, we got a new neighbor. She moved away when I was seventeen,}{\insrsid15795370 \'94 Steve began. }{\insrsid8803220
}{\insrsid2119001 \'93}{\insrsid15795370 Katherine was in her late }{\insrsid3150454 thirties}{\insrsid15795370 , lived alone and was }{\insrsid5665002 very}{\insrsid15795370
beautiful. She was also incredibly friendly and soon the object of my fantasies as well as every other boy in the neighborhood. She quickly made friends wi}{\insrsid3150454 th my parents and she\rquote }{\insrsid15795370
d come over a couple of times during the summer for cookouts and such. She seemed to take a liking to me, which only fueled my fantasies even more.\'94
\'93When I was }{\insrsid6497975 sixteen}{\insrsid15795370 , she seduced me. Every young boy\rquote s fantasy right? The beautiful older woma}{\insrsid1205073 n initiates you into sex. }{\insrsid6497975 Yeah. }{\insrsid4329274 }{\insrsid6497975 R}{
\insrsid4329274 ight}{\insrsid5665002 .\'94}{\insrsid15795370
\'93We ended up getting together three or four times a week in the afternoons before my parents got home. She must have imagined herself as some sort of Henry Higgins because she was constantly in \lquote teacher mode.\rquote She loved the way I
\lquote took to my lessons\rquote and frankly I got into them as well. What }{\insrsid8803220 sixteen}{\insrsid15795370 year old wouldn\rquote t?}{\insrsid11999226 It was all the sex I could ever want!\'94}{\insrsid15795370
}{\insrsid11999226
\'93Of course, she started with the basics, but over the course of the year she taught me more and more. First some mildly kinky things. Then stuff that was a little harder, like the BDSM. Finally some really hardcore shit.\'94
I shuddered. But I couldn\rquote t stop from asking.
\'93Like what?\'94 I asked. He looked away}{\insrsid5665002 and took a deep breath}{\insrsid11999226 . He was raw. More naked in this moment than I\rquote d ever seen him. After a }{\insrsid2119001 few seconds}{\insrsid11999226 , he looked back, }{
\insrsid658119 again}{\insrsid11999226 set and determined.
\'93If it\rquote s consensual, I\rquote ve done it. Bondage, dominance, watersports, scat, }{\insrsid6386505 you name it. If two consenting adults can do it, we did it.\'94}{\insrsid11999226
}{\insrsid6386505
\'93You weren\rquote t an adult,\'94 I point}{\insrsid2119001 ed}{\insrsid6386505 out.
\'93The age of consent in Michigan is }{\insrsid8803220 sixteen}{\insrsid6386505 ,\'94 he retorted.
\'93But still. . . .\'94
\'93We make our choices, Liz. Sometimes they\rquote re the wrong ones. Sometimes they\rquote re the right ones. Sometimes they have repercussions long after we\rquote ve made them. I\rquote ve long since accepted the choices I made with Katherine.\'94
I didn\rquote t know what to say to that. We sat in silence, me idly shuffling my feet while he }{\insrsid14630012 studied the far locker room wall}{\insrsid6386505 .
\'93So how much of that stuff do you still want to do?\'94 I finally asked.
He gave a rueful smile. \'93It\rquote s not the acts, it\rquote s the people.\'94 I shot him a questioning look.
\'93A simple blowjob, between two people who are using }{\insrsid14630012 each other, is a horrible thing,\'94 he said.}{\insrsid6386505 }{\insrsid2119001 \'93}{\insrsid6386505
The kinkiest act imaginable, between two people who care about each other and are deeply connected}{\insrsid14630012 , that\rquote s heaven. Katherine taught me all the acts. But what she was really teaching me is how much I need that connection.\'94}{
\insrsid6386505
}{\insrsid14630012
\'93Oh.\'94}{\insrsid658119 Could we have that }{\insrsid1639705 connection? I knew I wanted it. A}{\insrsid658119 t least I wanted it in my life. Could I have it with Steve?}{\insrsid14630012
}{\insrsid658119
\'93I still want to get to know you,\'94 I said.
\'93What is there left to know?\'94 he asked}{\insrsid2119001 , exasperated}{\insrsid658119 . \'93I\rquote ve told you about my job and my family and the big secret of my past. What else do you want to know?\'94
}{\insrsid4605582
I just shook my head. I couldn\rquote t come up with an answer. This was going downhill fast.
Steve seemed to sense that too. He reached out and gently took my hand and squeezed it. I looked at his hand clasping mine and then up into his eyes. He gave me a warm reassuring smile. I gave a small smile back. His smile turned into a grin.
\'93Stand up!\'94 he suddenly exclaimed, jumping up and then tugging me to my feet.
\'93Why???\'94
\'93Trust me on this,\'94 he replied.}{\insrsid2119001 Well, }{\insrsid8803220 okay, }{\insrsid2119001 I was already standing.}{\insrsid4605582
\'93Now close your eyes,\'94 he said. I glared at him.}{\insrsid8803220 No.}{\insrsid4605582
\'93Okay, I\rquote ll close mine!\'94 he announced. And then he did!
}{\insrsid3889388
}{\insrsid5665002 Steve took my hand in his and then gently raised it to his own cheek. He lightly pressed my fingertips to his flesh.
\'93This is me, Liz,\'94 he said quietly. \'93I got to know you well when I touched you Saturday. Now it\rquote s your turn.\'94 He guided my hand across his cheek to his nose.
\'93This bump is from when I br}{\insrsid4874586 oke my nose when I was six. I }{\insrsid5665002 was }{\insrsid1723079 play}{\insrsid5665002 ing Captain Marvel and trying to jump over a low wal}{\insrsid14690816 l. I didn\rquote t make it.\'94
He nudged m}{\insrsid3150454 y fingers over to his ear.}{\insrsid14690816
\'93I\rquote ve always thought my ears were a little large, but they seem to have a mind of their own.\'94 Then he wiggled them and I couldn\rquote t help laughing.
\'93They\rquote re also very sensitive.}{\insrsid16143470 Press down a little and run your finger along th}{\insrsid3150454 e outside.\'94 I did as he asked, starting to get caught up in the game.}{\insrsid14690816
}{\insrsid16143470
\'93Mmmm. Feels good to have you touch me, Liz.\'94 He then took my hand and slid it to the back of his head. In order to reach, I stepped in closer and could feel his breath on my neck and shoulder.
\'93This is why I can\rquote t cut my hair too short,\'94 he said, as I caressed the curve of his skull. \'93It sticks straight out if I do.\'94 I let my fingers play with his hair for a little while as we stood inches apart.
\'93Now,\'94 he said, \'93Slowly slide your hand down my back.\'94 I began to comply, leaning in a little further. I bumped into him and Steve wrapped an arm around me. I paused.
Steve just held me, lightly yet firmly.}{\insrsid13045204 I could feel his warm}{\insrsid13259145 th}{\insrsid13045204 and the strength of his arms. I started to relax into him.}{\insrsid13259145
He was right. This was a great way to get to know him.}{\insrsid155315 I almost started snuggling, it felt so good to be held by him.}{\insrsid16143470
}{\insrsid13045204
\'93Go on,\'94 he murmured.
My arm was free enough for me to begin sliding my hand down his spine. I made it a gentle caress.
\'93Stop,\'94 Steve said. I had trailed to just above the small of his back. \'93Back up an inch. There.\'94 }{\insrsid616002 I could feel a knot beneath my}{\insrsid13045204 fingers. I began pressing in, massaging it.
\'93Mmmm. That feels good,\'94 he said. \'93That\rquote s where I carry my tension.\'94
}{\insrsid3150454 \'93Are you tense now?\'94}{\insrsid13045204
\'93On}{\insrsid616002 ly in a good way.\'94 I smiled }{\insrsid13045204 at him. He was grinning, though his eyes were still closed.
}{\insrsid11173682
\'93My feet,\'94 he whispered, then slowly released me from his arms. Somewhat reluctantly, I crouched down, }{\insrsid4874586 and }{\insrsid11173682 then settled on}{\insrsid3150454 to}{\insrsid11173682 my knees. I placed my hands on his shoes.
\'93My right ankle,\'94 he began. I clasped it gently in both hands. \'93I broke it when I was 12, ending a promising youth hockey career.\'94 He seemed to find that fa}{\insrsid5853739 ct ironic, but didn\rquote t explain.}{\insrsid1971799
\'93}{\insrsid4874586 Go ahead and move your hands up.}{\insrsid616002 \'94}{\insrsid1971799 }{\insrsid11173682 I }{\insrsid1971799 started sliding them up }{\insrsid4925920 his}{\insrsid1971799 leg.}{\insrsid11173682
}{\insrsid1971799
\'93I twisted my right knee skiing two years ago. Fortunately, it wasn\rquote t serious,\'94 he said. I caressed }{\insrsid16209793 the creases around his kneecap}{\insrsid616002 ,}{\insrsid1971799 }{\insrsid6847643 feeling every millimeter. Then I}{
\insrsid1971799 slowly moved to his thigh.
}{\insrsid4874586 \'93Now my thighs,\'94 he chuckled,}{\insrsid1971799 \'93those I\rquote m proud of. Strong. Powerful. Really good thighs. Everyone should have thighs like me!\'94 I laughed at this silliness. I gave }{\insrsid9261319 his}{
\insrsid1971799 strong}{\insrsid3150454 ,}{\insrsid1971799 powerful}{\insrsid3150454 ,}{\insrsid1971799 really good thighs a good squeeze and rubbed them up and down.}{\insrsid16209793
}{\insrsid9261319 On an upstroke, the back of my hand brushed his crotch and I froze. I just sat there, one hand high on his inner thigh, }{\insrsid16209793 staring at the bulge in his jeans. Oh my. How had we gotten here?}{\insrsid1971799
}{\insrsid3889388
}{\insrsid7632860 I }{\insrsid15354883 glanced}{\insrsid7632860 up. Steve had opened his eyes and was smiling down at me. }{\insrsid16144070 My eyes returned to }{\insrsid7632860 his cock. }{\insrsid4554669
He definitely had a nice package. When I looked back up, Steve was still grinning.}{\insrsid7632860
}{\insrsid3889388 \'93You can if you want,\'94 he murmured.}{\insrsid4282326 Oh, I wanted.}{\insrsid3889388
}{\insrsid4282326
I lightly ran my fingertips over the top of his jeans. Steve let out a small gasp as I traced }{\insrsid16209793 h}{\insrsid4282326 is cock through
the material. I slowly spread my fingers, feeling all of him. His breathing had quickened. I could feel him getting hard}{\insrsid9766301 er}{\insrsid4282326 under my touch.
\'93Ahem!\'94
I whirled around to see Sandy leaning against a locker, grinning}{\insrsid5853739 madly}{\insrsid4282326 .
\'93Shouldn\rquote t y}{\insrsid616002 ou two wait until Saturday}{\insrsid4282326 ?\'94 she teased. Steve laughed and I just blushed as I got to my feet.
\'93Oh, a lot more than this will happen on Saturday night!\'94 Steve exclaimed. }{\insrsid8159179 I\rquote }{\insrsid4067898 m sure my blush was turning even redder, but Steve reached over and squeezed my hand before I could say anything.}{
\insrsid4282326
}{\insrsid9766301
\'93Oh goodie!\'94 Sandy exclaimed. \'93Maybe Pete will pay up anyway!\'94 Steve and I both laughed}{\insrsid16259389 , joining}{\insrsid9766301 her merriment. Sandy grabbed her stuff and we all headed towards the door.
When we got to the rink exit, Steve took both my hands in his.
\'93I take it dinner is still on?\'94 he asked. I just smiled.

}\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid9766301 {\insrsid9766301 Then he took me into hi}{\insrsid616002 s arms and kissed me. Oh gawd. }{\insrsid9766301
I just melted. Did I mention Steve could kiss? My knees were jelly by the time he released me.
}{\insrsid4874586 \'93After all,\'94 he drawled,}{\insrsid9766301 \'93you owe me }{\insrsid3150454 four}{\insrsid9766301 minutes. }{\insrsid3150454 Six if the Avs lose Saturday afternoon. }{\insrsid9766301 Anything I want.\'94
His eyes were twinkling.
}{\insrsid10237947
\'93They\rquote re not going to lose Saturday,\'94 I told him.
\'93Care to increase the stakes then?\'94
I took a deep breath. Yeah, Sandy was right. Steve was fundamentally a great guy. But was }{\insrsid6847643 I really ready for \lquote anything\rquote ?
}{\insrsid10237947 I had an idea.
\'93Okay,\'94 I said. \'93We can increase the stakes to four minutes for the next Avs game. As long as we also increase the stakes on the remaining Red Wings games.\'94
\'93To?\'94 he asked.
\'93Two minutes every time they lose. You do anything *I* want.\'94 Steve laughed.
\'93It\rquote s a bet!\'94
}{\insrsid5966920
Steve started to head towards his car. He called back over his shoulder.
\'93I\rquote m looking forward to }{\insrsid10237947 the next game}{\insrsid5966920 !\'94
So was I.
