    Don't give up on this one yet. There are many more pointless tangents out there this one can take with the stroke of a key.

    For instance....

    My gears bin berry good for me. It be Hi-Fi.

    I nominate this thread for the "Most Significant Thread of the Year" Award. It's a sure winner.:p

    You'll also all be glad to know that the Goldstar is about to become even more Hi-Fi. My next pair of dwarf Emu's is almost fully grown, and I'm going to be performing the Quad Emu mod on the Goldstar. It's going to be incredible.

    Are you sure? I've heard from several people that the Reference Pie around here really isn't World Class enough. You may want to reconsider.

    If it was powered by a World Class Reference Emo it would have no trouble keeping up.

    I'm not talking to you anymore Curt until you go to the PLaSMa CeNTeR and upgrade to some reference quality, world class PIE. :p

    I told you!!! I went to the Plasma Center yesterday!!! I needed some extra money to put towards my next equipment purchases! I'll be going back twice a week for the next few years now. :p:p

    Now with my new found blood plasma money I'll be able to afford a slice of the World Class Reference Pie...lol

    I want pics of that PIE.

    It's gonna be a couple weeks still. I've gotta take about 4-5 more trips to the Plasma Center before I'll have enough money together.

    Now that I've found this new source of money with the Plasma Center though...I'm thinking I'm just going to quit working. I can just sell my Plasma a couple times a week and have all the money I need, to afford all of this great World Class Reference PIE!!!
