Maybe pinging is a Silicon Valley thing, though.

I'll get right on that once I run it up the flag pole while trying to grow the business. I'll ping you when I'm done.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

Out of curiousity I asked my SO about his laminated list. I can only remember Ann-Margret (in her 30s) and Selma Hayek. As it is, that's a pretty full list.

Thanks a lot. Now I have Sean Connery in my head: "One ping only, Vasily."
