    I've been hiding a secret for a very long time. I have an addiction. Not drugs. Not alcohol. Not cigarettes. But...cowboy boots. The only footwear I will wear with long paints are cowboy boots. I have some for jeans, and some for dress paints. Smooth ostrich, ostrich quill, iguana, eel, wingtips, smooth leather, suede, rough outs, two closets full. This picture was taken over a year ago. I just bought my 15th pair yesterday on eBay and I still don't have a pair of caiman belly yet.

    Please help me.

    Not counting today, two Fridays ago I fried the tweeter and mid-range in my right Magico S5 speaker. Wasn't my fault though. It was the Pass Labs XP-20 pre-amps fault. :smile:

    my 2ch system has had "Do you want to build a snowman" and "Let it go" pumped through it 20x more than any of my music for the last 2 months...

    I'm afraid if I bought a pair, nooshinjohn would debate whether or not they were truly black or more of a Deep Slate Grey, Charcoal Grey or perhaps Helios Grey. I think John went black and never came back. :biggrin:

    I own a pair of Bose QC3 headphones. As much as I despise Bose, I cannot deny how good their active noise cancelling technology is compared to the competition.

    I also have some pre-off-her-rocker Miley Cyrus on my iPod.

    Short shameful confession....I often imagine myself shooting thread jackers in the face.

    Discuss your commercials elsewhere, ladies, unless you have something to confess. It's rather rude otherwise.

    I confess to being disrespectful, childish and rude to my father yesterday. I had dinner with him last night and we were discussing our favorite recipes and how he are going to get together next week and cook a big pot of meaty chili. You can literally feel your arteries start to close when you eat this chili. Then suddenly he started talking about how there was a tree next to his driveway that was leaning a bit and needed to be cut down and how he needed to get the blades sharpened on the chain to his chainsaw. I immediately started yelling at him for changing the subject and told him I felt like shooting him in the face. It seems almost extreme in retrospect.






    :eek::biggrin::lol: No ill will was intended in the making of this joke.

    A couple weeks ago at work I was in my "office" when it was time to do the "paperwork", there was nothing left on the roll. My two options, call a co-worker for help, or improvise with the paper toilet seat covers. To my surprise, it wasn't really any different than the industrial rolls of paper my company provides.

    Jstas seems like a short tempered person. Post a video of an electric car and BAM! I have somehow insulted the masculinity of him and his truck. At least he didn't shoot me in the face, I guess.
