    That's what I thought.
    People way smarter than I am, call it Lynn-o-type.
    Guess their not as smart as I thought.

    Officially, it is Line O Type! (With a hard "I" sound like in "fine".)

    But I say both......

    Either way, we all know what it is!

    Who knows how long with the Magnum Melter. But I've got plenty of time, I guess.
