    We alternate, blindly. 1 hot for me, 1 for Mark, 1 hot for me, 1 for Mark.

    Today, Mark got the better hots - but I'm not complaining.

    Cheers,

    That was my impression...but I didn't want to hurt your feeling Russ.

    Shack, I'm just happy to be graced by their presence. Gives me some mental 'material' for later.

    Good, sweet sweet clean girls. God bless America.

    Cheers,

    Mark is starting the initiation process. It will commence in Jersey at Casa de Antone next year, but he's on his way.

    A little soft spoken, but Bill is a great guy, and a real hardcore Polk fan to say the least. Mark and I took him along for a real steak dinner with Al and Paul and a few other 'important' people.

    I almost hate him as much as I hate Mark, and I just met the guy a couple hours ago...THAT says a lot.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    Someone needs to get that man something better to drink. Miller Lite??? WTF!!!

    That second pic, Mark has that "What planet are we on???" look. Good god, I fear for your liver, but I fear more for the toilet the next day.
    No excuses!

    I'm just glad I'm looking through my eyes this morning and not Mark's. That could be ugly!

    I found this article detailing Polk's new products, including the new subs (DSW Pro and MicroPro), RTiA series, and new LCi series center and surround speakers.

    Yeah, he made it home safe also. No arrests were made, although we came close a couple times.

    That would be nothing. You wanna stir up trouble in Vegas? Try cutting in line at the AYCE buffet. That's where you'll see fur fly.
