    Eh, I like having fun with Yashu. He switches feet so often it's like someone dancing a jig.

    The screen name Yashu means the all knowing martyr saint.

    Really? I though it meant long winded douchebag?
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Yep..........yes............that's it...............it fits much better. Mine had a ring of dignity and nobility that certainly doesn't fit the character called Yashu.

    I don't switch feet. Call me whatever you want, but not a flip flopper. I stand by my opinions with honor, and I even lightheartedly referred to myself as quixotic.

    I think a good point was brought up, it is arrogant on polks part to produce speakers that demand such high wattages. Do you know how many more btu a 200 wpc amp puts out compared to a 50 wpc amp? Well neither do I but I bet it's alot! And how about the greenhouse gases it takes to make the aditional amperage the larger amps draw, Thats a lot to! We are talking global warming here! Alot of heat x alot of green house gases = ... I'm not really sure what but it can't be good!

    Do you know what happens if the oceans continue to rise? New Jersey floods! Thats right and then do you know what happens? Thats right, those Pineys move to Pennsylvania ! We don't want that!

    The maddness has to stop! We need an electric guzzler tax on over demanding electronics. The procedes could be used to hire groomers to shave the polar bears so they don't get so hot in the summer time.

    Oh for the love of Jesus that vein is bulging out of my forehead again, I need to relax with another red bull.


    P.S. If you were offended by any of the above you are taking this **** to seriously, its the internet, if you see it on here it was meant to do one of two things 1 make you laugh or 2 give you a boner. If it does something else its here by mistake, it was really meant for television.

    Lately it doesn't matter. There seems to be a few people on here who have appointed themselves as PC Police and if they are offended they report the post and the thread gets shut down.

    I thought the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thing was more like a crying baby sound... maybe that is why I thought it was so funny to see you guys do it. Kindof, ironic I guess. If it is just laughing, then the boner comment is no longer weird, but understandable.

    Again, this is a tread about Polk expanding it's horizons.

    Congratulate them and move on. It can't be that hard, can it?
